Congratulations on a new page in your journey! And thank you for documenting the story - you’ve inspired many great developers and founders along the way!

Being on almost the opposite end of the software design, I haven’t yet had a good place to apply the tools you’ve built, but I’ve heard many nice things about them from practically everyone, including direct competitors. That says it all.
If Usenet's requirements haven't increased in a 2-3 decades, and in its moribund state I expect they haven't, then it should be trivial to run Usenet servers on almost any device, at least in terms of resources.
From that page: "By default, the iCloud Backup service key is securely backed up to iCloud Hardware Security Modules in Apple data centers, and is part of the available-after-authentication data category." It is handled in the same way as the keychain, but the page I linked has a better technical description.

Let me put this issue to rest with a pair of quotes from Apple's guide for law enforcement:

Q: Can Apple intercept customers’ communications pursuant to a Wiretap Order?
A: Apple can intercept customers’ email communications, upon receipt of a valid Wiretap Order. Apple cannot intercept customers’ iMessage or FaceTime communications as these communications are end-to-end encrypted.

and

Apple does not receive or retain encryption keys for customer’s end-to-end encrypted data.

Remember this is in response to law enforcement (and by proxy the courts) and they don't get to rely on technicalities or word games about backups to not comply with a warrant. It just isn't possible.
Thank you!

The main use cases are accounting software and expense trackers.

I know someone who is since years in the receipt to account-software business. But they hand craft receipt templates for each customer. Which is a slow and not very robust approach

https://line-items.com on the other hand "understand" the receipt and therefor can deal with any receipt.

Thanks for your suggesting regarding more examples. I'll add more soon. I had them in it already, but visually I didn't get it right :/ I'll try it again :)

Web 2.0 times were great. It was just taken as a given that the future was open standards, interoperable web services, and creative tools like Pipes that let users and developers easily leverage them. Social media and the drive to monetize users at all costs destroyed that potential.
"The literature on this problem is extensive, widely scattered, and not always aware of itself."
They do, but that's not the point GP made. An example how this could fail is if the first branch sets up something that branch two uses. Two tests are written that call branch 1&2 and not call them. 100% code coverage, even the non-happy path was tested.

But in reality, if those branches have any interaction, you would need to write eight test cases for every combination of branches being run and not being run.
Yeah that's never gonna happen. The competitors to NVIDIA are pretty trash at actually pumping out coherent and consistent software ecosystems.

NVIDIA seems to be able to do software markedly better than all the other hardware folks. And software is the real product that end users actually interact with.

In this example, it's relatively limited I feel to finding new algorithms/functions. Which is great, but compared to the discovery of fire, and tons of things in between, like say electricity, it wouldn't feel in the same ballpark at all.

You can push your own ecosystem of apps and still allow your customers to replace them. I'm not aware of a Samsung app or service that cannot be swapped out. And I struggle even more to find a Samsung component that is designed to create network effect lock in like iMessage is. And Apple Messages can't be swapped out, it is the only texting app on iOS. You can install Signal or Whatsapp or whatever, but you can only talk to other people who have those apps installed. You cannot use them to talk to any phone number like a texting app can.
You have to de-register the device with Apple when you sell it. Otherwise you retain the ability to remote wipe and brick the device and the buyer has no recourse.

After you de-register it the buyer can register it with Apple under their Apple ID.

If they are correcting their kids, they are doing so far less than many parents and it evidently doesn't matter.

I'm honestly curious as to why you think it's so important. Fringe Amazon groups aside, the number of parents extremely laissez-faire with correction is astounding and they raise kids that use language perfectly well.

Even with parents that aren't laissez-faire, they're correcting a handful of times a day tops which can't even begin to account for full language proficiency.

Children need correction yes but in a supervised way? There's no indication of that.

Unfortunately, I currently don't have health insurance and hovering at 35% excess weight. There's no point in my going to a doctor when all of their recommendations are "window shopping".

The only way this shit stops is not Medicare for all, which is a red herring with third-class coverage, surprise costs, and still run by for-profit corporations. The ultimate solution is universal healthcare for all and making for-profit health insurance illegal. This can only happen when (low-information) voters stop shouting FUD like "Communism", "rationing", "waiting lists", "big gubberment reg-u-lation", and "death panels". Every other free country in the world has better outcomes, healthier citizens, and lower costs. The root cause is unregulated profiteering that cannot be changed at present because of regulatory capture, corrupt politicians, and the lack of people organized and protesting about it.

I think what happened is that Americans got unlimited SMS plans meaning they got used to just communicating by SMS. Europe got WhatsApp to deal with wild SMS pricing. So Europeans moved over to WhatsApp etc. Americans continued using SMS. Apple took advantage of this with iMessage silently upgrading stuff to their protocol. On top of this iPhone penetration in many places in the US is much higher I think.
We have SDETs for that. And they do a great job. But QA is where polish happens. When you get good QA people, who know the app better than the developers, better than the users, who anticipate how the users will use the product? These people should be paid their weight in gold.
Once you add in workload scaling, availability and durability, there is surely a dedicated ops team that want to control every aspect of how it’s deployed, including the security around it. They are not just going to blindly apply a chart without at least having reviewed it in great detail first.

What I found is that when doing such review, you realize 99 of the template variables are not relevant for you and the one place you need to template is missing a value. Just extracting the rendered manifests and modify them by hand from there becomes more maintainable. Like you say, there is a very limited set of common denominators.

For smaller orgs, just running a single container and increasing the Node size takes you a very long way. That doesn’t need helm.
Looks like according to them it was not a joke at all, but a knowledge gap. Why did you find it funny?
Seriously, why don't they just dedicate a group to creating the best pytorch backend possible? Proving it there will gain researcher traction and prove that their hardware is worth porting the other stuff over to.
Do people really remember authors of such generic comments? Is it only because they were heavily upvoted because of the popularity of the commenter?

I think that upvoting mechanism on sites like HN/Reddit/Lobsters really hurt the idea of free idea flow. People focus on the author too much, not the idea.
Pfizer Helped Save the World with Covid Vaccines. Now It Needs to Right Itself
I acknowledge the effort you put into this, but I'm curious about the practical application or purpose behind it.
Where are you setting the bar for something to be commonly accessible?

Only about 60% of the world’s population has reliable access to clean drinking water. 18% of people own a car.

Compared to those numbers, 20% of people flying seems downright common - especially considering many people likely never fly simply because they have nowhere worth going (relative to cost).
I’m not so sure. I think software trends in the last 10-15 years or so have been driven heavily by a small number of influential players (FAANG, mega-VCs).

An influx of dumb money like that can shape and distort the market and overwhelm the feedback loops that would otherwise give consumers influence.

Perhaps now rates are up, the equilibrium changes, but I think it’s still easy to overestimate the number of “first movers” in an industry and the power of tacit or unconscious collusion.
Join Tailcall Mini Hackathon: Win $2000 and a Job Opportunity
This is ridiculous. Indentation is a visual concern for humans and braces are a semantic concern for a machine. Code only needs the latter to actually execute.

You can prefer them be coupled for taste reasons but they are fundamentally different. Code minification is a practical example where you can save many characters by omitting whitespace.

This is like tabs vs spaces. The white spaces crowd prefer the trade offs, and the tab crowd don't. But the white space crowd can't argue the perks of tabs - they exist.

disclaimer: Am braces/whitespace camp.
Apple might be sort-of trying to build the honking CPU, but it still requires different language extensions and a mix of different programming models.

And what you suggest could be done, but it would likely flop commercially if you made it today, which is why they aren’t doing it. SIMD machines are faster on homogenous workloads, by a lot. It would be a bummer to develop a CPU with thousands of cores that is still tens or hundreds of times slower than a comparably priced GPU.

SIMD isn’t going away anytime soon, or maybe ever. When the workload is embarrassingly parallel, it’s cheaper and more efficient to use SIMD over general purpose cores. Specialized chiplets and co-processors are on the rise too, co-inciding with the wane of Moore’s law; specialization is often the lowest hanging fruit for improving efficiency now.

There’s going to be plenty of demand for general programmers but maybe worth keeping in mind the kinds of opportunities that are opening up for people who can learn and develop special purpose hardware and software.
XUL is not the whole story, though. There was an Android native Firefox before the current Fenix and after the XUL Fennec, and it had Web Extensions, IIRC. From that perspective, that people complained is understandable.
Nah there’s been mandated standards since the 90s eg OBD I/II/III

Protocols like CAN, LIN, SENT and XCP are all standardised point to point and bus protocols for automotive stuff

I personally think the standardisation is actually a bit limiting[1]

Just like SpaceX found massive cost savings in using networking tech over hard wired interconnects, I think there’s a good chance China or other manufacturers might catch on

[1]I think interconnect failure rates are so low out of factory it’s not unethical to begin making things more lean, obviously with sufficient human safety testing

In the past few hours I have had more time to look at the entire piece and download some of the referenced papers. So far I haven't found any claim that's factually inaccurate.

I think there is a reason why the ACM Turing awardees have never tried to defend themselves by presenting facts to the contrary: because they can't.

This might get interesting:

The trick is finding justifiable, reasonable reasons that don't cause havoc with our economic system, which IMO necessitates they they not target an arbitrary employee size or specific market percentage, or revenue. What is "large" is very relative, and not just by individual opinion, but temporally. What was a large company just 70 years years ago is nothing compared to those of today.

As much as I would like to see Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft and the like not have so much power (socially, economically, most likely at the government level as well), I think the only way we'll actually make any progress towards the problems that allow large companies like that and allow their negative consequences is to attack some of the specific aspects of our current system they abuse to their benefit, and not them specifically.

For example, very strict privacy laws and control over tracking to curtail the biggest problems of the data companies, laws about control over your own devices and what you do on them (software) and with them (repair) for the hardware companies, etc. Otherwise we'll just see some other company take up the same practice and have all the same problems.

That has been one of the most annoying aspects of dealing with helm templates. It's like that USB plug you never can insert the right side up, only it has like a half-dozen sides and to cycle through them all to figure out the right one.

Can confirm, at least in what concerns anything WinRT/UWP/WinUI 3.0 related.

Mostly interns and fresh people out of university, with a couple of old timers as managers.

Everyone that actually knew Windows development already saved themselves into Google, AWS, Azure or jumped into AI craziness going on MS.

Those of us with long time Windows development background, would make remarks on community calls or Github issues, regarding Windows Forms or WPF capabilities still missing, both in framework features or Visual Studio tooling, and get stare looks about what we were at all talking about.

> they're correcting a handful of times a day tops which can't even begin to account for full language proficiency.

How do you know? Humans learn from extremely few corrections, often just a single time is enough for the human to correct themselves and learn it for life.

Kids learn the bulk from hearing and seeing examples. Then they fine tune that with the help of their parents and peers correcting them when they do it wrong. You can learn language and skills without those corrections, but it will be full of errors and mistakes that are easily corrected with an outsider pointing it out for you.

If corrections weren't vital for human learning then humans wouldn't be so eager to correct each other when they make mistakes. There is no other purpose for it than to help them learn and get better. So your belief that those corrections doesn't do anything seems very unfounded, I'd like to see extremely strong evidence to the contrary to believe you here.
