Funnily enough, I’m currently looking to buy a really cheap (like sub-$50 cheap) Chromebook and put Linux (or BSD, or Haiku) on it. Or just keep it at is and treat it like as the modern version of an Atari Portfolio.

Even saw a video likening it to Raspberry Pi- but cheaper.

> It is no secret that the 30% fee has nothing to do with consumers, but will instead be used to increase the developer's profit margins. Expect to pay the exact same after the fees are lifted.

I think it's a little more complicated than that. I agree that developers are unlikely to lower prices if the 30% fee is eliminated or reduced. But it seems reasonably likely that the next time they look into raising prices, they may raise them less, or decide not to raise them at all.

I do agree with the underlying point: prices are not set based on cost, but are set in line with what the market will pay. If the market will pay $10 when the developer has to pay a 30% fee, the market will still pay $10 if that fee disappears.

But still, consider that for many apps there's going to be a tension between what the market will pay, and the minimum the developer needs to keep the lights on. The developer might settle for a lower per-sale profit if they get a bunch more users that more than offsets the lower per-user revenue.

Let's say a developer sells at a $10 price point, which nets the developer $7 (after Apple's 30% cut), and that they need $6 to keep paying their other costs; they'll get $1 in profit after all is said and done. But maybe they can only make 100,000 sales at that price point, or $100,000. Kill the 30% fee, and they make $4 per sale, or $400,000. Great! Instant 4x profit! But maybe they'll be able to make 150,000 sales if the price were $9, which would give them $450,000 in profit. That's a compelling reason to drop prices. Or at least not raise them even when their other costs go up from $6 to $7.

Obviously these numbers are made up; maybe dropping the price to $9 only nets them an additional 5,000 sales, so it's not worth it. But we can't just flat-out say that no developer will do the math and decide that dropping prices can actually help them.
Indeed. You don’t get put in prison for being drunk. Maybe you spend a night in the drunk tank and then get released and are free to go repeat the same mistake. We don’t just let you roll around on the sidewalk downtown while continuing to drink.

The impact of the OEM deals can not be understated, and actually account for Android not being dominant in TV or IoT because Google don't quite understand that other companies aren't idiots and they didn't want a replay of the phone situation.

For instance, for a long time if you wanted to make a device with the Play Store on you could not make any Android device which did not have the Play Store, even as a third party for someone else.

If you do that while making billions in platform fees don't be surprised when everyone else thinks building their own app stack on top of vanilla embedded Linux is a better idea.

Of course often the OEM intentions are far from honest, but the deliberate result of Google's antics is to prevent the emergence of any honest actor trying to produce an Android device which does not serve the ad tech beast.

That's a really good one. As a prototype, what do you think about something like:

- Paper you are currently reading taking up 2/3rds of the screen (left side)
- Right side of the screen is a graph of references from, and references to, the paper
- You can click on any node in the tree (paper titles of references and referencees) and then that paper loads up on your left side reading pane?

(Bonus: maybe nodes in the tree can be sized relatively by how cited a paper is.)

Also, would using a single site like arxiv.org be sufficient? Maybe for some fields of research but not others? As a dev I'd want to identify a single main repository as a starting point.

I haven't said much about my personal feeling in that discussion, but honestly speaking as a Korean, I do feel that some Japaneses weigh too much on exact glyphs. These variant glyphs are indeed "wrong", but so does many non-standard shorthands (e.g. ⿸广マ as a shorthand of 魔) or individual preferences (e.g. the first character of Yoshinoya 𠮷野家 is an unusual variant of 吉). Why some are okay while others aren't? I'm yet to hear plausible justifications for this disparity.

> Reducing software engineering to a low-skill trade when there is, in fact, mountains of complexity is surefire way for software to be a heap of shit. And in a lot of ways it already is.

I fully agree with this observation, but the reality is that this is where things are going.

Software quality is simply not that relevant today for the majority of software. As long as the billing works fine, the management is happy to see your website barely working - screw the quality if the money is coming in anyway.

Such software costs much less and can be built by bricklayers.
AFAIU Aurora isn't an alternate store, but an alternate front-end to the Google Play Store.

That is, the only apps available through Aurora are those on Google Play, and if Google's rejected an app, then you won't be able to install it via Aurora.

By contrast, F-Droid is an alternative front-end and app store, with apps available which aren't included in Google Play (for example, Termux).

(I use both Aurora and F-Droid on an Onyx Android device.)
> And for that one must be innovative, open for new things.

Nonsense. Innovation has nothing to do with "safe, prosperous, and dignified lives". In fact, I'd argue that it is often an obstacle to those things.

> The world ows you shit..

That's a great way to highlight the difference between Europe and the US: The idea that "the world" (i.e., society and the state) does owe a lot to each individual is pretty fundamental to European thought. In the US, it's live or die, nobody owes you anything.
The sad reality is that current forms of law enforcement aren't working when it comes to hard drugs and addiction. Putting people in prison for getting addicted to crack is not exactly going to make anyones lifes better. But it has also become quite obvious that you can't have free-range junkies shooting up in what is supposed to be the economic center of a city.

I suspect in a few decades forced rehab will become the norm, once you start smoking crack or shooting up in the street. It's pretty obvious for anyone with eyes that at a certain point, homelessness, mental health issues and most importantly drug addiction cannot be covered by "individual freedom" anymore if you want to have a working society.

Of course, having police beat up and arrest or otherwise forcefully move addicts from one place to another or into the prison industrial complex is not likely to work.

The consolidation effort would not have gone forward unless a significant number of people who have been studying these characters agreed that they were, in fact, the same characters.

Many Hanji/Kanji/Hanja characters have a long history of stylistic variation and simplification for the sake of aesthetics and convenience. For linguists and historians who are used to such variations, the direction of a minor stroke that doesn't alter the meaning would seem to be a purely stylistic choice, just as serifs on Latin characters don't alter the meaning. Some variations just happen to be more popular in some regions/countries/contexts and not others.

The general public, on the other hand, in each country is educated with the single "correct" variation favored by the government. Everything they read now uses the officially approved variation, so other variations look wrong. That stroke should absolutely not protrude to the other side, or you're a filthy barbarian!

The Unicode consortium seems to have listened more to the linguists and historians in this case. The academic stance doesn't always fit with public perception, which is often seasoned with a large pinch of nationalism.
> If it was anti-competitive, the iPhone would've died at birth. Nobody would have supported an anti-competitive product if they actually cared at a time when it could have easily been ignored.

I don't really get this point. Internet service providers are all anti-competitive, but they're doing quite well, because there are no alternatives. When the iPhone was released, so so so many people immediately saw it as completely in another class above all previous phones, and there were no alternatives in the same class. (Obviously there were trade offs: I personally know quite a few Blackberry people who scoffed at the iPhones lack of physical keyboard.) Even barring all that, the Jobsian Reality Distortion Field was still going strong at that point. The iPhone was cool. (And at that point, there wasn't even an App Store, and no SDK for third parties to build apps.)

Most people don't realize that they're negatively impacted by anti-competitive behavior until it's too late. They've already bought into the ecosystem. Sometimes they don't even know things could be more innovative or cheaper or whatever, because they have nothing to compare it to. To revisit my ISP example, a simple reason I'm mad at Comcast's anti-competitive behavior is because I know it can be so much better, based on people I know who live in other places and have an order of magnitude faster internet connection for a fraction of the price. If I had no other examples that suggested that 1200/35 for $90/mo was a bad deal, I might think that was just how it had to be in order to provide the service.

This is a common misunderstanding; they may look alike but can and often do have different rules (e.g. ordering) underneath, so they have to be disunified.
This resonates with me. I use undo/redo up to a point, but eventually I just reload the file (which I'm saving frequently) or just check it out (from git, mercurial) again.
Btw, that __medium article__ doesn't say "not true on intelligence," it says "orange cats aren't dumb" and doesn't cite any sources except its own blog. But if there's a systematic bias in male cats being more dumb then we have a confounding variable.

But I relied on a claim by an anthropologist who studies statistics. @clnq's citation notes a correlation with riskier behavior which I think many intelligence tests can codify as unintelligent. But wouldn't be surprised if it is wrong, but factuality isn't the point of the comment anyways. https://twitter.com/rlmcelreath/status/1696120557983425011
WFH means biz isn’t coming back there any time soon even with the homeless gone.

It’s why homeless are downtown now rather on the fringe; fringe used to be emptier more frequently as downtown filled. Now folks are home on the fringe all the time.

I was just downtown for lunch on weekday and it was a ghost town. I worked for PSU for years, am aware of what it should look like and it’s just dead. That’s been the case since 2020.

Absolutely this. I don’t understand why is it such a hard concept to grasp.
>>> Not taking vacation, working overtime etc are all signs of unhealthy work environment.

If I worked in a factory, sure. IF I own my business, if I have a stake in what is going on then NO, none of these things are a sign of "unhealthy". I want to be rich and I want to punch the clock will forever be antithetical as long as there is someone more ambitious than someone else.
Did you read up on Cosmopolitan C Compiler when it was discussed here?

No, it's not exactly the same amount of portability as some language and its native toolchain. If you give me source code in some language that I can transpile to C or C++, or into WASM (and then into C), then I can give you a single file which can be executed on Linux, BSD, Mac, or Windows.

That's not remotely the same thing as "its native toolchain."

You, a developer or tech savvy person, might not see any difference.

But if I hand a non-tech-savvy person a file and they can just run it, no matter what OS they're using - with no pre-requisites - that's kind of magic.
They're probably fusing both lenses with the Lidar and some other tricks to reliably compute a dense surface. That would explain their suggestion not to move the camera very much, as that would cause a large portion of the mesh to be rebuilt. A blogger exported what appears to be two side by side videos, so maybe the view really is narrow or reconstruction happens at playback. There might also be Lidar data in there that he didn't notice.

Apple bought C3 Technologies a decade ago, and they use this technique to fuse photos from low flying charters to produce the 3d view in Apple Maps.

I don't think that's stupid. Blocking access using code is an honest act. Everyone knows the rules and can build their business accordingly. Blocking alternatives with economic incentives is manipulative. It gives the impression that the platform is open to competition, when it isn't.

Several years ago I read a post calling Han Unification essentially “Western Elitism” and made the argument that “no one” would merge the Latin alphabet and their Greek homoglphs. I disagree and am still mad about it. I ABSOLUTELY would combine them. Not doing so was an huge mistake. Every European character of the same general design should be merged.

The lack of this causes so many problems and makes so many things that could be easy so much more difficult.

Why do English, Spanish, German and Italian all share the same homogylhs, even though German has for instance has ß among others, Spanish has ñ, and Italian completely lacks 5e letters JKWXY. Greek or Russian though? Completely different character sets despite containing many of the same glyphs. That to me seems like “Western European Elitism”

There are of course special cases where for instance the upper and lower characters don’t match across languages, but they can be resolved individually rather than as a full set.
WebAssembly is like an openly designed Java virtual machine that's intended to run on all systems. You're completely confused. WebAssembly is extremely exciting and I believe it'll soon be the thing in the tech industry. With Wasm you can write one app and run it in the following platforms TODAY:

1. Desktop: Linux + Windows + OSX

2. Browsers: Chrome + Firefox

3. Phone: Android (no iOS)

4. Embedded

it's absolutely amazing. The biggest problem nowadays is packaging and various runtime things, but what I listed above 100% works, you just need to do the work to package it in N different platforms. How is this not appealing?

This is one comment I never thought I'd read.
I don't disagree with your overall point, I don't think, but having reproducible builds doesn't -- alone -- make a distribution method more secure. I can publish an app with a bunch of security holes and maybe even some obfuscated malicious behavior, but if the F-Droid maintainers don't notice, it doesn't matter one bit that a user could reproduce the build they made.

Of course, I don't know if we can say that Apple's app store approval process filters out more or fewer security issues or malicious apps than F-Droid's vetting process does.
