macOS also has NSUserDefaults which is a similar application (but sometimes developer team?) scoped KV system which is actually just a plist file shoved into ~/Library/Preferences.

CATL's sodium ion batteries are slated to soon (1-2 years, mostly just mundane factory construction and logistics) to hit $40/kwhr. No nickel / cobalt / etc.

I think LFP is basically already under that as well (I think they are in the 60-70/kwhr range).

For grid storage, that is probably the only metric that matters: cost per kwhr of storage (and sufficient cycle endurance).

Mobile is really tough to monetize the way console/desktop can monetize. If you were to make an app which is identical across desktop and mobile, you would neged to charge less for the mobile version because people don't value a mobile app as much. This is even true in cases where a mobile version is superior to desktop, such as star tracking apps.

The mobile market figured out[0] a way to monetize a customer base where the median will not pay, but the mean will. Unfortunately, the method they figured out is really harmful and really profitable. Profitable enough that other platforms are copying it.

[0] Technically many Asian MMOs were already doing this for a while before mobile apps existed. But it was the mobile market that has researched and data-scienced it into the mainstream monster it is now.

I think Unity did a lot more damage than any of the above. D&D is still a powerful brand, and while they angered hardcore fans and creators, the vast majority of roleplayers didn't even notice, and those are their real customers. Tumblr is apparently still around, and OnlyFans is still synonymous with amateur porn. But Unity has only those creators as their customers, and those stake their livelihood on their trust in the company, and with that trust gone, Unity could lose all its customers.
The reason CUDA has won is precisily because it isn't horribly stuck in a C dialect, have embraced polyglot workloads since 2010, have a great developer experience where GPUs can be debugged like regular CPUs, and the library ecosystem.

Now while NVidia is making standard C++ run on CUDA, Intel is still having SYSCL and oneAPI extensions.

Similarly with Python and RAPIDS framework.

Intel and AMD have to up their game for the same kind of developer experience.

Of course we do. Why would we not? Evolution is just a fact of life. For it to stop happening, we’d need all humans to have strictly the same number of children who live long enough to have children themselves. As soon as you have something affecting fertility rates, you have selection pressure.

True, however Australia has a tiered health care system with a very low gap to ensure that practically the entire population has access to healthcare that they can afford in addition to national bulk pharmacy deals to cap generics for the bulk of ailments that require prescription.

For all it's warts the Australian system delivers a kind of healthcare that the US system does not .. widely available affordable treatment for the bulk of medical issues.

Overall this looks really good but it also obfuscates whether how & where this really integrates with systemd.

Maybe everything is this easy & good. Maybe this is an /etc/systems/system/WordPress.quadlet file, part & parcel to everything else in the systemd-verse. But it doesn't say clearly whether it is or isn't. It's an acontextual example.

I think it's powerful tech either way, but so much of the explanation is missing here. It focuses on the strengths, on what is consistent, but isn't discussing the overall picture of how things slot together.

In many ways I think this is the most interesting frontier for systemd. It's supposedly not a monolith, supposedly modular, it so far that has largely meant that components are modular, optional. You don't need to run the pretty fine systemd-resolvd, for example. But what k8s has done is make handling resources modular, and that feels like the broad idea here. But it seems dubious that systemd really has that extensibility builtin; it seems likely that podman quadlet is a secondary entirely unrelated controller, ape-ing what systemd does without integrating at all. It seems likely that's not a podman-quadlet fault: it's likely a broad systemd inflexibility.

Could be wrong here. But the article seems to offer no support that there is any integration, no support that this systemd-alike integrates or extends at all. Quadlet seem to be a parallel and similar-looking tech, with deep parallel, but those parallels from what I read here are handcrafted. Jt's not quadlet that fails here to be great, ut systemd not offering actual deep integration options.
> The big one to me though is the wind resistance. 10.7m/s is 23mph. The original specs 17mph. It is hard to say at which point it starts having trouble, but 23mph is a non-trivial improvement, it probably means 2x as many days you can actually fly.

That’s a huge one for me as well (also own a mini). I live near the sea and the number of days you can actually fly is surprisingly low. 23mph is still pretty low, but I understand the weight vs windspeed tradeoff.

> not good for embedded

embassy begs to differ

https://embassy.dev/

async/await is really just a syntax for building state machines in a way that resembles regular code. It's compiled down to the same code that you would write by hand anyway (early on it had some bloat in state size but I think it's all fixed now).

And embedded has a lot of state machines!
Did you know you can continue and if they come after you if the future, which likely won't happen because you'd have to be successful first and they will have to be actively trying to enforce this patent and then notice you, and that combination by itself is hard enough to achieve, you can actually settle with them and they will likely price it in a way that you can actually afford to pay it.

The large majority of patent owners are in it to make money. They will sue a billion dollar company to get a large settlement a they will try to get a small settlement out of a small company but only if you are big enough it makes sense to go after you. They will try to make it affordable for that company, but it is a negotiation, and of course they will have a high opening big and then you can negotiate them down to something fair. A single license patent is affordable for any company assume the owner of the patent is in it for the money. For non-practicing money, they are just trying to get as many settlements for as much as they can from as many companies as possible. This means they focus on the big fish, and the medium fish where the juice is worth the squeeze.

Now I am not a lawyer, but I've been through this and have been a party to those negotiations. You'll likely be fine.

Also anyone creating software is likely in violation a whole raft of patents that you don't know about. The field is littered with overboard patents that you would not even think apply to you. We will likely be fine since most of those patents are not being enforced, because they are invalid, and also we will likely be fine if they are enforced because they will go after the big firms before they come after us.
> Why Europe has not woken up to this, which is the only real hope in the short run for substantial fines, is beyond me.

Thing is, regulations do exist but as long as Apple and Google are not forced to comply at least partially in these regulations, nothing will ever change.

Take the GDPR as an example:

- Europe says: "Your app must comply with the GDPR if you want to be in the European market."

- Apple says to app developers: "It's up to you to comply with local laws."

Obviously, Europe can only go after companies, which have a presence in the EU, such as the big tech ones.

Now how would anyone ever enforce regulation such as the GDPR for app devs from China, Indonesia, Brazil, South Africa, ...? There's simply no way. There is no one responsible for that. There is no customs office checking goods (apps) imported to the EU. And the same is true for casino apps.

So, the solution might be to force Apple/Google to comply with all local laws for all apps in the stores. Sounds like a lot of work, but that's the only way. After all, if you buy in-app-items, Apple/Google are the sellers, not the app developers. If you think about it, it's odd that Apple and Google get away with this, because they effectively "sell" these apps to end customers.
I recommend it! Fish, starship.rs and `fzf` with the Ctrl+R and Alt+C keybindings continue to be my personal 80/20 for feeling comfy at the shell. Installing nvim and reloading my ~/.config using `chezmoi` gets me like 95% of the way there.

>...which was bringing in about 30 millions EURO per month, was the only thing keeping the company alive.

I am curious what were the expenses. Few things are as simple as they appear, but from the mobile games I have seen, they look like they could be put together by tiny development teams: simplistic (+recyclable) art and rules. Once the foundational app is created, feels like the further development could happen on a shoe string budget: artist to make new cosmetics and/or someone to develop additional puzzles. Presumably minimal server load from the whales to handle converting dollars into tokens.

I suppose the trick is in getting lucky with the one app that happens to hit it big due to some unknowable pattern of the universe. How many $0 flops preceded the blockbuster hit?
Providing the user with more information is fine and not anti repair imo. If the user boots the phone and sees a bunch of non-genuine warnings, they can know to steer clear of buying the device.

The larger issue seems to be where there is calibration info that needs to be set up but only Apple has the software and tools for it.
