In the interest of balance, since it's pretty easy to pile on when you think you're punching up:

> 1) Spend $100 a year for the privilege of being allowed to access their app store

Comparable to all curated store fronts.

> 2) Buy several $1000 iPhones (you'll be expected to test on every model they currently support by app store reviewers)

Not different than supporting any commodity device. You should have target devices for every variation you intentionally support.

> 3) Buy one $2000 macbook per developer that needs to work on the iOS app (build tooling only runs on macos)

That's not true, both the macbook line but also in general. I have worked in places that use VM's on MacMinis for iOS development, but there's also AppCode from Jetbrains.

> 4) Good luck if you want to integrate this with your CI! Either another mac mini ($1000) or a subscription to some service that does it for you. Forget about using your linux boxes that you use for everything else. Apple says no!

Mac Mini for CI, yes, if you're doing it as above then it's an additional VM on your MacMini.

> 5) Everyone who needs to log in to the apple developer portal also needs an iDevice. Apple is so secure they only support their own proprietary second factor push messages to iDevices!

That's not true, I use Linux to log in to my developer portal with the root account.

> You can see why they don't allow emulators or virtual machines.

They allow VMs and Emulators, they just require that it's official hardware.

If you are categorically opposed to owning any apple devices then I can see why you would feel a certain way.

To put it in perspective: I genuinely despise Windows, yet I need to spend a lot of money because making Windows software on any other platform is practically impossible, and "running a VM" isn't going to help because you must still license that VM.

The major differentiator here of course is that the license cost for the OS is part of the hardware cost in the Apple ecosystem and not separated out.

But ultimately every company that has a platform for software development is going to charge you:

A) Access to that platform

B) For the tools required to build on that platform in addition.

I recommend everyone votes with their wallet. (and they do, just in favour of the App Store, because it is significantly more lucrative to lean in and buy a pile of mac minis and a developer license agreement than to lose sales by not being apart of it.)

You could look at this as Win/Win or Lose/Lose depending, almost entirely, on your willingness to let Apple also profit from your work. (again: likening it to my experience with Windows).
A lot of new HN accounts in the comments for this specific post, it appears, coming to bring real thoughtful discussion and meaningful votes.

TSMC is building a lot of new 28nm production with plans to shut down all their older nodes and move everyone over in the next few years.

GlobalFoundries (formerly AMD fabs) created a brand-new 22nm planar process specifically for older chips as an upgrade to other company's 28nm processes.

Profits seem possible if you approach it the right way.
I’m speaking from my personal experience of working such jobs. It’s a perspective that seems oddly rare on this forum. The well-respected, well-paid working class job may exist, but as someone who actually did the work and still knows a lot of people who do, I suspect it’s a myth.
That list is a bit disingenuous as the mosts expensived points apply to every platforms: you'll need a PC to develop software for Windows, you'll need a computer too even for building Linux apps as manipulating bits using butterflies is quite inconvenient[1]. One might even use a Mac already, so it's not an additional cost in all situations. In the same vein physical devices are also mandatory for developing quality Android applications. Sure the 99$/year is annoying for hobbyists but it's not that of an expense for any business.

I've built a wrapper for docker to simplify containerized development and interactive usage. It's similar to Microsoft DevContainers, but with different accents, and doesn't require you to use vscode.

It allows to easily spin up the SSH server inside container for Pycharm or VScode remote development, automatically sets a UID\GID inside container to the same as outside to help with permissions problem when files created in container are created as root.

If you’re not open to the idea of having your own mind changed, if there is literally nothing - no data, no evidence, no viewpoint, nothing hypothetical even - that might change your mind, you’re not arguing, you’re preaching.

This is not what whot meant. He meant "bare metal" in that Xorg is the display server talking to your input (evdev) and output devices (drm/kms), rather than running as a rootful or rootless child of another display server as is the case with Xwayland or Xephyr.

A "bare metal" display server can run in VMs, or even in containers (although the latter is a little pointless as the device access violates sandbox safety).

Primary and secondary are kind of abstract concepts though. I think you're restating the relationship a little differently.
You will always have pure analog electronics and other bespoke things that basically don't benefit from anything finer than these nodes. Even for digital chips, it makes no sense to use leading edge nodes for very simple logic where a lot of the area is just contact pads.

I found it super funny that Agile started as an essay that basically boiled down to:

- Don’t create a bunch of process; just talk to each other

- Seriously stop using tech to avoid talking to each other

- For the love of god just talk to each other and show off what you are trying to build.

Then we took that and immediately built a bunch of process, certifications, and software to enable us to pretend to do this.
The complaint in the article is the inverse: the BIOS displays a big scary warning about overclocking voiding the warranty when in fact overclocking does not necessarily void the warranty. It's more of an "everyday common thing" than the message in the BIOS implies.
> The litmus test is what cars you see on the roads of Wyoming.

Given that US adoption of electric cars lagged other developed world countries, and thus early electric cars were generally designed for European, Chinese, and to some extent Japanese, market preferences, that seems like an extremely weird litmus test. Tesla _was_ the first company to release a mass-market car aimed at the _US_ market (or at least the first credible attempt; the Leaf was available in the US but was just too far from US market preferences), but the Chinese and European markets already had mass-market electric cars.
The video touches on different iterations of Donkey Kong from the franchise's history over the last 30 years. The racially charged elements are not unique to a single game or show.

I understand that this article is about Donkey Kong but my question was about the wider franchise. I was only asking if others in this community feel the same discomfort with the franchise, as a whole, that I do, to the point that it becomes increasingly difficult to engage with.

I know that race and gender issues are generally frowned upon here but I believe my feelings are valid and I approached the subject with curiosity and without judgement of others.

> at least their Not-CEO hasn't told advertisers to go fuck themselves

Since when we think of advertisers as a force for good? I always thought of them as the ones for whom the platforms are secretly working, while pretending they care for their users.

I've been thinking about it in the last few days. Wasn't the idea that capitalists seek profit, and people and government care about the ethics and the politics and the law? Feels strange to be rooting for corporations to set the political standards for the public.
Of course it is*

There is nothing wrong with SVN, it's just that Git allows for some workflows that are better suited to larger teams and more complex projects. But for your average PLC project with a team of 10 and one binary as the output it should be more than enough.

You likely won't see any 'feature branches' or frequent merges in this kind of environment.
> threads has been moving at a glacial pace and I'm way out ahead of any thing they've indicated even thinking about

I'm not so certain that's an accurate statement. Threads launched only 5 months ago, and they've made some fairly large progress on things users have requested the most, and there's a number of things that are currently being tested in certain parts of the world (ex: trends).

It'll be interesting to see if they can continue that pace into the new year.

"launches for nearly half a billion more users" is a weird way to put it. They are not users yet, they are a market, or potential users in other words. If I release an app, I'd feel disingenuous telling that I "launched an app for 7.8 billion users"
What does your history say?
A simpler, but less targeted approach that works in case you're not tracking token issuance by ID is to maintain a list of maps of entity (e.g user) ID to minimum issue time. This way you can revoke all earlier tokens for a user ID with a single record, and not have to keep track of issued tokens.
I'd argue the article is a low value drive-by click-bait post - and worse than that, in fact may be malicious in nature to obscure and confuse the truth - or it's just doing so as a form of harmful gossip.

If you actually care then perhaps I'll walk through with you, and we first can parse and list out what is "established fact" that they mention (and how established it actually is) vs. hearsay (which has practically no value).

I sew clothing as a hobby and have a friend who does so as their job. One of the most difficult things that my friend deals with is people having no idea what a hand sewn (in this case by "hand sewn" I mean not industrially manufactured, not sewing using needle and thread) garment costs to make.

Just the materials generally cost more than a fast fashion garment and even relatively simple garments like a basic shirt take hours to sew. Even at if the labor is priced at minimum wage, something like a jacket or dress could cost hundreds of dollars.

Personally, as long as it’s owned my Meta, i just see “Threats” as the name. With this, i mean to data sniffing and privacy concerns. Plus, as much as it seems a good product, how long will it take to be “enshittified”?

It seems to me the latest “social medias” have the same formula, launch as a decent app, gather a massive user base, business realise the money potential, the application gets uglier with time as Ads are everywhere and content is generated by bots.

One interesting feature is thar they’re trying the ActivityPub protocol, which will allow them to interconnect with Mastodon servers. This is also not all good, as it means they’ll start to sniff data from there. But, at least i can block the threads server entirely preventing this :)

I think the nationalism was always there in the serf/laborer class. But it was only in the 19th-ish century that firearms started to become widespread so the power gap to the warrior/vassal class closed. Before that the aristocratic layer seemed more disconnected from the lands. Also there is more visibility due to printing, rise of the middle class, etc.
Due to the blood-brain barrier, it is quite difficult to get substances injected into the blood into the brain (though some obviously do, otherwise there would be no psychoactive substances). Injecting into brain tissue directly is possible but probably not useful in an emergency: if you want to inject into cortex directly, you have to inject at ulta-low (yet positive) pressures (otherwise you destroy a lot of tissue just by injecting), and diffusion from the site of injection would be slow. In other words, you would have to drill a thousand holes into someones skull, and inject tiny volumes over the course of minutes each time. You could inject into the ventricles. That can be done quicker and with larger volumes without incurring too much damage, but again, lymphatic flow is very slow, so getting the drug into the tissue would take a long time (hours). So from first principles, you are fighting an uphill battle, and the incline is very steep.

The findings in the paper are interesting in the latter scenario, as they identify the deep cortical layers as the likely drivers of the wave of death (not a surprising finding for various reasons so quite likely true). Deep cortical layers are closer to the ventricles, so access would be a bit better than to the cortex in general.

IIRC, there was some "konami" code to re-enable the train after disablement that was removed in a first-party update after the third-party repair company found the sequence.

And not related to the third-party locations, one of the trains had some code where if the year>2021 & month>11 & day>? then the train would disable itself; ultimately doing it in the wrong year because the train was off during november / december of that year. This is a little excessive for somebody random to do.

>> I don't want to see vim or emacs recreated (they exist already).

Why would they need to be recreated?

Windows ports of vim and emacs exist and they would be excellent choices along with a simple editor like nano.

I agree with those in the thread that they should just include vim, emacs, and nano.

They are mature, have excellent features and would target all the major groups of users who use text editors.

Creating an entirely new text editor seems silly when there are so many good choices with full ecosystems and user communities.
