As if this isn't an issue with fast-moving "let's bundle everything" upstream code drops either?

Distribution releases have the advantage that they have a large number of followers who share the same set of versions, and so can shake out the issues and fix the bugs together. In practice I think this beats what most upstreams that each pick their own sets of versions can achieve on their own.

It only takes one skilled engineer to fix any given issue in a given distribution release, even at today's scale. That's not a big burden, and is even available to those not skilled with a relatively inexpensive support contract.

Corporate upstreams additionally tend to focus on what matters to paying customers; other use cases can often receive a "not supported" answer. A community of followers operating on the same set of versions can address these use cases more easily, too.

From developer POV this is real frustrating. This seems like something that makes bad experience but at least in the post there are no reproducible steps.
Also when a bug shows only sometimes, if it’s rare enough, sometimes it’s really hard to nail down. I guess Apple’s metrics are superior to mine. Yet, sometimes just catching an issue is tough.

The other complication with Apple is the fact that sometimes it might be needed for multiple teams to fix an issue (eg. WebKit, Safari and VoiceOver/Accessibility) so they all have their own apple ways which might not be trivial as a single team fixing an issue.

And least, yeah, it might just be prioritization as there are some bugs that are with us for years or even regressions between each OS iteration that stays forever.

Yeah, but your customer acquisition cost becomes your overhead. And it can easily take up 30-50% of your unit economics. Anyone who's tried building SaaS for creators knows that it's a very tough crowd to sell to.

> Nothing will get changed, because solving the problems would mean dismantling the system.

For now, American citizens can ask congress to support a carbon fee and dividend [1], which would create a financial incentive for the system to dismantle itself. There are few forces in the world more powerful than individuals deciding to save money.

> Ground beef is more palatable than whole beef because of fat. It’s mostly fat, like an 80% chuck. Meanwhile, even a fatty tenderloin is only 25-30% fat

You got that backwards, as others have pointed out. 80% chuck is 80% lean and 20% fat. Simply look at the different grades of ground meat and compare their appearance. 95% "extra lean" ground meat is a darker shade of brown while 70% "medium" ground meat is much whiter due to the higher fat content.
There is no bike shedding. Personal attack. There is no dichotomy. Try again.
For a sailboat to work at all, you need a part of it that “stick” in the water.

Wind-powered “planes” can't work for that reason (and no, gliders aren't powered by the wind, and you can't have a ground-effect glider either)

So the best you can do is have just a foil that sticks in the water while having everything else out, which is basically what every modern race boat is doing.
These are good ideas in my opinion, but somewhat came through to me as a little bit laden with judgement and negativity.

The computers I use are basically warehouse-sized now.
There's a whole cultural aspect to it as well as the actual physical infrastructure. But it's probably unique in the US in that regard.

The MBTA commuter rail is commuter rail. And, outside the occasional other event, no one looks at it differently and it is empty (and probably loses a bunch of money) whenever it runs outside of rush hour.
AI models are a pain to getting running nearly as good on smaller amounts of RAM (if you can get them running at all) even though the compute itself plenty usable for many. If your use case is always going to be a home dns server or using a few GPIO pins then it doesn't really matter.

I’m very sorry to hear about your experience. That really sucks. The fact we have a thriving browser ecosystem has got to count for something though. Could you recommend people use Firefox instead?

I have come to respect Apple in recent years for their focus on and promotion of accessibility within the industry. They are leading where others have often abrogated the responsibility to build inclusive products. We should celebrate this.

Therefore this headline made me sad. I appreciate sometimes drastic measures are required to persuade those with power to use it to change things, and it does sound like this bug has been around for too long. If Apple are serious about accessibility they need to fix it.

I have read that the relentless release cycle at Apple does lead to bugs like this never getting fixed. I hope this post gets upvoted enough that someone with influence sees it, and ensures that this one is different. Good luck!
This implies that rail is running at capacity during the night, which I suspect isn’t true.

It’s not a choice between 1 car-train or 1 normal night train - you can have both if there is line capacity.

And you probably aren’t running sleeper carriages during peak hours.
The seemingly arbitrary limit also helps to guide the choice of language: if it's too verbose in one language, it's probably the wrong one for the job! (I.e., reinventing too many wheels, un-ergonomic language patterns vs domain logic, etc.)

Exactly. The reason Patreon has been able to get away with a basic platform is because they served a basic need: giving your faves money.

They also had good timing since they allowed you to send your faves money before the creator platforms developed in-house solutions.
Well, I have interest question. I'm old-school developer with more than 20 years experience, looking for work, but exist one nuance - I'm in Ukraine, and I cannot leave country nearest time (during war state, all men 18-60 now considered bound to military service and prohibited cross border even while not already at service).

> The problem is when me getting the job depends on solving a coding puzzle.

I have worked somewhere that we used online coding as part of our hiring process and it was valuable, but I agree that it's terrible as a gate. We used it because recruiters seemed to keep sending us people who can't write software, and it's just soul-destroying to sit down and interview people who are completely unable to do the job and had just sort of hoped we wouldn't check.

My favourite interview though was somebody whose coding was excellent, and I spent the interview trying to figure out whether she's acting the way she is because she's terrified, or because she's incompetent. Turns out she was terrified, she's Russian and our interview was her first time using English, a language she'd learned in the classroom, in real life -- and she'd only been in the country for about one day.

The reason I cared is, humans can't stay terrified for a prolonged period. No matter what's happening, even if it initially causes blind panic after not long they adjust to it. So if she was terrified that'll wear off after we hire her, which we did.

> I still see it as waste

You called out an issue based on impossible physics. Proposed a hypothetical alternative that does not exist and won't within the relevant time frame. And now retreat to essentially an aesthetic argument based on subjective preference.

I'm genuinely curious what motivates not correcting one's assumptions, or at least moderating them?

You said "we can use those orbits for more importand [sic] stuff." I agree! You want to know how we make that happen? Cheaper launch costs. How do we do that? More-frequent launch. Human spaceflight occurred in three eras: not, the V2 and Starlink. Private spaceflight and reusability is cool, but Starlink prompted an order-of-magnitude shift in how humans interact with space. Add to that the problem you cited literally not existing--we cannot block ourselves from LEO, it's physically impossible--and you can see how your assumptions actually counter your aims.

There is so much ignorance about "procrastination." Stop demonizing it and start respecting yourself. There is wisdom in your procrastination. We are all optimizing (or satisficing, really) over a great many variables, all the time.

I learned decades ago that what I thought was dirty shameful procrastination was a complex and important process of negotiating with my unconscious to get work done. For some kinds of things, my reluctance to get going is evidence that something is not right about the work itself-- I should not have agreed to do it in the first place and I should unagree to it. For other kinds of things, it's just a sign that my unconscious is still working on the problem and I should let it do its thing.

I use a method I call "procrastinate and push" which means I spend a little while trying to get the word done and if I feel resistance, I let it go until tomorrow. Then I try again. I alternate between pushing and completely ignoring the work, until at some point, either I conclude I will never do it, or more likely the wall suddenly gives way and I find I have the answers.

It's like my brain is in the kitchen, cooking, and it unlocks the door when the soup is more or less ready.
Windows with JAWS or NVDA is fairly mainstream, and it's accessibility features are pretty well understood and supported. VoiceOver less so. That only covers one facet of accessibility of course, but they have like 80 percent market share in that segment.

Pollux is a Message Passing Cloud orchestrator designed to distribute and manage complex algorithms, including NP-Hard and Complete problems, across multiple Cloud-based machines.

In today's world many computational problems from network routing to semiconductors to AI are becoming more and more complex.

We believe that the next step for optimization of such complex grand scale computation is to leverage the massive parallelization the Cloud can offer.

We believe that this step has not been reached yet, as there is no genuine Cloud suitable framework for this type of computation; most of the frameworks used for similar purposes are actually meant for supercomputers, not the Cloud.

Our goal is to provide such a framework, designed for Cloud architecture while easy enough to use for engineers from any field. Through a clear interface they should be able to parallelize any algorithm without being Cloud experts.

Our goal is not to treat the Cloud as a super computer, it is not. Our goal is to virtualize a super computer on the Cloud and finally open these capabilities to a wider audience.

Pollux Message Passing API is currently limited to C++ but can be extended to Python, Rust, ...) in the future.

Criticism and suggestions welcome!

I agree for a snapshot in time. I think the distinction is that if the liability includes future payments to current citizens posting into the system, the liability may outpace the asset.

> Yet, it does not push macro-op fusion in implementations

Yes it does. It pushes it as an alternative to adding instructions to the ISA. It says we don’t need these extra instructions because architects can use macro-op fusion to remove the penalty associated with having two instructions rather than one.

> There are disadvantages to using Layer 2 of a blockchain, and you are ignoring the costs of on-boarding and off-boarding from cryptocurrency.

Yes, it's not a panacea, but has the potential to be far lower than the current status quo.

> In this case you're speaking of doing Patreon on the blockchain, not merely using cryptocurrency transactions? How would that work and how wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to do with a public, possibly federated, server running a FOSS Patreon software?

It can be both; using smart contracts to facilitate payments and identity, and some form of federated or decentralized protocol for communication and discovery (e.g. Farcaster).

> Are settlement times going down with FedNow? And even CC transactions take seconds, do the content creators care that much about getting the money immediately and isn't that a greater fraud risk?

Not everybody lives in the USA, and yes creators would likely appreciate lowering payout schedules from days to hours.

> I admit to not being familiar with the situation but aren't all transactions public on the blockchain?

Yes, like Monero but with smart contracts and verifiable computation via ZK-SNARKs. It is possible, but in its infancy: see Aztec and Aleo.

> What about illegally acceptable revenue streams? How would such a platform stop being banned due to illegal content?

The primary hosts can choose not to serve the illegal content; it would redirect the behaviour to alternative platforms. Similar to a popular Mastodon server choosing not to allow NSFW, but other servers might allow NSFW.
When in doubt, I take for granted that every camera with closed firmware contains malware that phones home or waits dormant to be used to steal sensitive video+audio or to take part in a botnet, which already happened several times. The solution as of today is to put a firewall in between that blocks any traffic to the LAN and from the outside, except from trusted applications.
There are many multi ETH port mini PCs that can be repurposed as firewalls so that the video surveillance subnet can be physically separated from the rest by connecting all cameras (for obvious reasons I wouldn't take WiFi into consideration) to a switch, possibly with PoE support.

Reminds me of an episode of Leverage where they wanted to hack into Congress and change the text of a bill. In the show, it turned out everything was airgapped so they had to send a person to drop off a paper copy of the compromised bill. Hmm, that was also a plot line in Better Call Saul.

WarnerMedia fired Johnny Depp based on unsubstantiated allegations from a woman who herself has a history of domestic violence and Mr Depp was subsequently found to have been defamed and awarded damages for that lost work.

WarnerMedia fired Mr Depp for mere allegations, but retained Ms Heard despite police reports documenting her abusing her girlfriend at an airport.

The sexism shown by WarnerMedia executives is not in the interests of shareholders — and is part of not only why WarnerMedia had to be sold off from ATT for a massive loss, but has failed to recover post merger with Discovery.

I have been a regular Mac user for over two years (MacBook Air M1) and the issue is far less severe than this person claims.

It used to be a much bigger problem around Mac OS 12, but even then, Cmd + option + q (quit and keep windows) would solve it pretty quickly.

Voice Over has a lot of issues, but so do Windows screen readers, and as a Mac user, I can at least decide to postpone an accessibility-breaking update, something which Windows doesn't let me do. Such an update was one of the main reasons why I switched OSes.

>It says we don’t need these extra instructions because architects can use macro-op fusion to remove the penalty associated with having two instructions rather than one.

They are correct in saying that. x86 didn't have the chance to do so, because back when it was designed, macro-ops were not considered.

Yet whether to fuse or not is still up to microarchitecture architects. RISC-V doesn't push it. Only creates the opportunity where sensible, while increasing code density which benefits everyone.
As co-owner of a mildly profitable bootstrapped software enterprise it seems to me the common major weakness is lack of sales and marketing expertise to make it go bigger. However for many software people this is a feature not a bug.
