it was successful at delivering apple back into the control of steve jobs; it wasn't successful for investors along the way who bought stock at a higher price than the 427 million dollars apple eventually paid, but we weren't talking about whether steve jobs's investors were successful, but about whether steve jobs was successful. investors like canon were his cannon fodder. even a good slice of the investors ended up getting rich, tho

it's hard to imagine what would have counted as a bigger success for steve jobs

rod canion redefined the entire computer business once: he made open platforms dominant for personal computers. steve jobs did it four times: in 01977 by converting personal computers from hobbyist machines to home appliances; in 01984 by making the wimp gui the dominant interaction paradigm; in 01998 by redefining personal computers from home appliances to fashion accessories; and in 02007 by replacing the open-platform wimp gui with non-end-user-programmable sealed prisons with multitouch and always-on mobile internet access

obviously none of these involved him inventing anything, and most of them are at best morally ambiguous, but certainly he set out to do each of those things and then successfully did them

Downvoting for complaining that downvoters think you're wrong, when downvoters just as likely think your comment is low effort. Even your defense of your comment is "I'm just regurgitating a sentence from the article and adding nothing".

We are where we are today because of people on this very forum.

> Figure 3 shows four facts that are important for understanding adolescent suicide: (1) Boys have higher rates of suicide than girls, (2) since 2010, boys have had greater absolute increases in suicide (the total number of additional suicides per year), while girls have had higher relative increases (the percentage increase over time), (3) girls have now reached higher suicide rates than any period previously recorded, and (4) boys have followed a “roller-coaster” pattern of suicide with a rise beginning in the 60s, a fall beginning in 90s, and a rise in the late 2000s and 2010s. (Fact #4 will be the focus of a future post on this Substack.)
This is basically it. Yes, there are a million ways around the best protection (even on mobile!) but it's all about user trust and setting norms.
I recently rebooted my personal site initially with 11ty and then with Astro. I’m really enjoying the Astro experience. I ended up using swup for transitions instead of what Astro provides due to some odd behaviors around remounting my custom elements.

My site is primarily static generated but I did use the node integration to expose a couple of dynamic endpoints. I put caddy server in front of it and host it on railway.

One thing I found lacking was the eslint experience for the astro components. There is a community eslint plugin but I could not get it working well for my setup. Hoping to find some time in the future to dig more into that.

That’s the bit that really burns for me. I don’t know if they can make enough money for Firefox to survive.

But over the years they’ve spent money on an email client basically no one uses, trying to make a social network, trying to make a phone operating system, and who knows what else. Just huge amounts of money going to what often looks like a complete fools errand. I understand Thunderbird but a phone OS?

Money that could’ve gone to either make Firefox better or to advertise/promote it.

If FF was doing great in the market and they had millions of spare dollars, pursuing other things that match their goals would make sense. But that really doesn’t seem like where they are.

Instead it feels a lot more like if private equity bought an open source project.
I know, but BAT isn't going to transform the ad industry. It has nothing to offer to them that they don't have now and will only make things harder for them.

The only thing that will do that is a legal framework that forbids tracking so untracked ads are worth more because they no longer have to compete with the tracked ones. After all there will be no retargeting etc. It will have to be purely contextual.

The EU unfortunately stopped short of doing that and created the cookiewall plague in the process. For which they are rightfully blamed.

> The only reason hundreds of people are not dead is directly attributable to the Japanese being an overly polite and orderly culture.

Contrast this to the South Korean ferry disaster [1] where hundreds of Koreans (inb4 someone pops me with "Japanese and Korean are completely different countries..." - yes, I am aware) died as a result of being orderly and compliant. It's just an interesting counterexample where people not speaking up or questioning leadership led to their deaths.

Here[0], i submitted a bug report. The issue seems to be that some OpenSSL error isn't handled elsewhere, isn't removed from the error queue and the function with the assertion assumes the queue is empty.

I put a breakpoint in ERR_put_error in the version that comes with openSUSE though there isn't much debug info there to be had so i don't know what the error is (perhaps building OpenSSL from source code with debug info and having Dillo link against it would help). I found where the error comes in Dillo's side (check the comment i made in the bug report) but i'm not sure how that'd be fixed (aside from draining the error queue :-P) as i don't know why these calls are made in the first place.

Reading something like that from a Microsoft guy seems so ironic.

The tone and framing is also unnecessary aggressive, the framing single-sided. So the question remains: What the actual agenda here?

If it was just about PWAs, I'd be happy. It's not like Apple's first approach to iOS apps wasn't "PWA-only" and webOS on Palm didn't try that.

I also remember MS installing all kind of crap on my systems with their own browser monopoly and ActiveX and what not tricks, reaching deep into system function where/when the user just expected safe content browsing in their... browser.

That also was the main "backdoor" for many of the cheaper hacks during that era. And while I don't wan't to go all FUD here, I don't want to go there again either. Especially not if some MS guy is demanding that is some extreme and stoking fashion.

For the rest: There are much more ways to extend the basic browser engines with native functionality. So if it's just about PW "apps", there is no real reason to not wrap them in your own extended native app wrapper. If you want to break the barrier between browsing and installing stuff though, you'll need that MS-proposed approach. Just not sure if that's a good idea, given what they did last time with it when they were the monopolists with the freedom to act "freely".
It's hardly sycophantic to state the fact that suicide rates among adolescent girls have had a larger relative increase compared to boys. Trends are worth examining. This does not diminish the suffering of adolescent boys.

You must have somehow missed the end of their comment that more or less sums up the nuance. ;P
I thought EdgeHTML was a clean sheet. I know they had a way to continue to run the old Trident engine under the hood for compatibility, but I didn’t think EdgeHTML was based on it.

Excellent description of the situation. I both think people should get to choose their own browser on iOS, and don’t want them to get to choose their own browser for the reason you stated.
Like what? Sites don't ask me to allow ActiveX or check if I have Flash installed, and CSS support across browsers is not uniform even now. JQuery did more to ensure JS compatibility across browsers than the vendors themselves.
We've been off our iOS native app for almost 3 years now (B2B/Enterprise distribution). We use a plain web app with some basic PWA config to make the experience mostly the same for the legacy native users.

Our latest generation web app doesn't even use websockets - it can get nearly 100% of the job done with multipart form posts. The only thing that absolutely had to be otherwise was submitting high res photos via AJAX because of a ~twelve year old bug in Safari that blows out memory utilization. We use a bit of javascript to bandaid where Apple refuses. We stopped letting it bother us after a while. Momentum does wonders for morale.

The hardest part of the transition for us was dealing with iOS hardware features from Safari, specifically the camera. Getting high resolution image/video out of the correct camera consistently was a huge nightmare up until not very long ago. Maybe we were just holding it wrong, but I feel like something changed in the last 18 months to make it not so terrible. Today, you can constrain for ~2k@30fps video and mostly expect everything to "just work".

My mood regarding Apple ecosystem has waffled 4-5 times over the course of the last ~decade. Today, I strongly recommend their hardware because I no longer have to worry about the App Store extortion + PKI certificate circus + weird dev ecosystem hellscape that we were trapped in for the prior half-decade. If you are building some sort of document/imaging solution, I don't know how you can beat the quality of the iPad camera.

If you can make your product work flawlessly on iOS/Safari, I think you are among the freest of people. The only thing the App Store does for you beyond this point is marketing/PR. I'd argue that if your business is heavily dependent upon App Store presence + gimmicks to generate revenue, then I don't think you have a business worth investing in.
Just saw this, I would recommend going the heat pump route.

In retrospect, it's insane to get an electric tankless hot water heater from a climate perspective. Gas tankless makes infinitely more sense if you need limitless hot water. If you don't need limitless, heat pump would be the most emissions efficient.

I'll try to get my usage data together and update this comment.

Edit: Cost of usage electric and gas over the last five years. The big spike last winter was due to our remodel and heating the whole house while it was neither sealed nor insulated in the middle of winter with just the 10kWh furnace backup heater which ran almost non-stop. Units are USD. The two gaps in data are due to meter replacements, I think. https://imgur.com/AVTFwpP

It's kind of hard to compare the data since we re-insulated, went from gas furance to heat pump, and added a hot tub.
He's not being principled, he's being an asshole.
Yup. The company I started with last year had layoffs. I wasn't impacted, but I didn't like how they were done. So I applied at a few places and accepted an offer at a new company just last month. For context, my resume does not have FAANG on it.
From your posting:

So her answer was complicated in testimony because the pro-Israel side has been trying to frame the words "Free Palestine" and "from the river to the sea" as a call for genocide against Jewish people. Maybe for some people that's what those slogans mean, but for many others those slogans mean a one (secular) state solution with equal civil rights for Jewish Israelis and no military occupations or apartheid. To others it means the establishment of a Palestinian state around the 1967 borders.

The problem is the pro-Israeli right was out to "scalp" Gay (Christopher Rufo said exactly that). Her testimony was bad, but largely because she was not being asked questions in good faith.

> I don’t care in which language my editor is written in.

Sure you do. If I offered you a version of your current editor in the Befunge programming language, you'd rightly decline!

Programming languages aren't just all "basically the same".

Programming language choice, communicates something because programming languages have values.

Would you prefer a text editor written in Ruby or one written in Python?

This relates to a favorite article of mine:

It's not what programming languages do, it's what they shepherd you to.

https://nibblestew.blogspot.com/2020/03/its-not-what-program...

To tie in one of the article's examples:

> Perl shepherds you into using regexps

If you believe that regexes are hard to debug and overly complex, you might resist a text editor written in perl because it's likely that regexes are used everywhere (even when they shouldn't be).
If your company makes $1bln per year now and pays a CEO $1 mln, and then someone comes along who has much better ideas, better work ethic, and more experience and you (the board) are convinced they can add 5% of revenue as pure profit to your company per year. They will add $50 mln in value per year. If that person asks $5 mln as compensation would it be responsible to say no?

Or to take a more concrete example, if Elon Musk decided to quit Tesla in a huff and focus entirely on X and stop dealing with the annoyance of public markets, the stock's would probably lose $75 bln in value overnight. If your legal goal is to maximize the company's value and it takes $500 mln pay per year to keep that from loss happening, it seems like it's probably a good deal to just pay the $500. As another example, Steve Jobs received hundreds of millions in stock options, and that was probably an excellent deal for Apple, though they probably could've hired someone cheaper.

I agree there are many cases where a more expensive CEO is actually worse. But I think it is very very easy to imagine cases where it makes a ton of sense to pay a large amount for an expensive CEO if they are the right person for the job and will add 10x more value than their pay.

What a fantastic demonstration of the fact that a statement doesn't have to be false in order to be highly misleading.

"Fake" (i.e. blatantly incorrect) news isn't the main problem in out media landscape. Headlines like this one are, which are technically correct, yet are (usually intentionally) crafted to lead the average reader to a conclusion that can be the exact opposite of what is really happening.

People have overfit on a formalized dialect of math, because we dont practice on anything else.

If you beleive there are an infinite number of functions, youd probably also believe there to be an infinite number of notations for those functions.

All math in the formalized language has come from randoms making up their own symbols and arrangement rules, often times for fun. (see Newton) Sometimes theres equivalent notations for the same concept. (see leibnitz). Just like you can say the same sentence in chinese, english, and spanish, you can express the same concept in different math. Even within the same language you can say the same thing ten different ways.

Believing dogmatically in only one notation system would be silly. Put a modern calculus textbook, a 1920s boolean logic textbook, and principia next to eachother on the table. If you had only ever seen one before you'd think the others came from space.

If Eric is making up math you would need to translate it to the dialect you understand. (Which would probably result in you understanding it, and then he might stick with the more colloquial translation.)

Not sure where "wc -l" came from. It was not in any of the tests I authored. That's because I am not interested in line counts. Nor am I interested in very large files either, or ASCII files of Shakespeare, etc. As I stated in the beginning, I am working with files that are like "a wall of text". Long lines, few if any linebreaks. Not the type of files that one can read or edit using less(1), ed(1) or vi(1).

What I am interested in is how fast the results display on the screen. For files of this type in the single digit MB range, piping the results to another program does not illustrate the speed of _displaying results to the screen_. In any event, that's not what I'm doing. I am not piping to another program. I am not looking for line counts. I am looking for patterns of characters and I need to see these on the screen. (If I wanted line counts I would just use grep -c -o.)

When working with these files interactively at the command line, performing many consecutive searches,^1 the differences in speed become readily observable. Without need for time(1). grep -o is ridiculously slow. Hence I am always looking for alternatives. Even a shell script with ired is faster than grep. Alas, ripgrep is not a solution either. It's not any faster than ired _at this task for files of this type and size_.

Part of the problem in comparing results is that we are ignoring the hardware. For example, I am using a small, low resource, underpowered computer; I imagine most software developers use more expensive computers that are much more powerful with vast amounts of resources.

Try some JSON as a sample but note this is not necessarily the best example of the "walls of text" I am working with; ones that do not necessarily conform to a standard.

curl "https://api.crossref.org/works?query=unix&rows=1000" > test.json

busybox time grep -Eo .{100}https:.{50}
real 0m 7.93s
user 0m 7.81s
sys 0m 0.02s

This is still a tiny file in the world of software developers. Obviously, if this takes less than 1 second on some developer machine, then any comparison with me, an end user with an ordinary computer, are not going to make much sense.

1. Not an actual "loop", but an iterative, loop-like process of search file, edit program, compile program, run program, search file, edit program, ...

With this, speed becomes noticeable even if the search task is relatively short-lived.
