Developers have the option to disable iOS apps from being installed on Apple silicon macs. Unfortunately most 'big' apps just disable this for whatever reason.

I don't believe you can 'sideload' unsupported ipas from an iOS device any more.
All 5 app stores have centralized user management. I login to the same account in all devices, using the exact same credentials. Watch store does not have fewer users than iPhone store, does not have fewer users than Mac store, does not have fewer users than iPad store.

All 5 app stores have centralized payment card management. Every app I buy charges the same card. I remove that card, it disappears on all stores. A payment fails on one App Store, I get asked to verify my payment info on all other stores.

I assume purchase notifications come from the same email. You manage your account on the same web UI.

All app stores are the same, but of course you need a different UI and possibly backend. In fact, don't I buy apple watch apps from iOS? Aren't there universal iPad/iOS apps?

Sometimes it feels like the level of conversation at these companies is below high school level.
I’d like to know how it fairs with 8K or 4K. I have an 8K 60hz Dell monitor which my Nvidia 4090 runs games on beautifully.

But the real dream is the tv which plays 4K at 120hz.

If you at least want to future proof your graphics card, surely you’d want to know about 4K support at the very least.
Hmmm. Personally when the non-disambiguated wikipedia page of a specific word starts with, "$WORD is the ownership of a person as property, especially in regards to their labor." and includes a photo of a physically mutilated other person, then maybe there are reasons to be a bit more careful since it's very easy to pass the wrong message.

I was following various live coverage (just as an interested observer) and it sounded like there were orientation issues with the Peregrine lander after separation. It seems possible tgat it could have used so much fuel trying to get solar panels and antenna aligned right, or even just doing unintended maneuvering, that it now cannot complete the lunar orbit maneuver, but is still otherwise working nominally.
Most of the people I work with can barely tell the difference between git and github.

My boss had a KYC experience that involved uploading a short selfie video in which he had to turn his head/blink, smile, etc. This was recently, and in addition to the "photo of yourself holding a document with your photo in it" check.

I don't know enough about GenAI or the KYC process to say whether or not that could be faked, but I'm confident saying that with only traditional tools it's a barrier that would stop all but the most sophisticated actors.
I mean, AOT got full support in .NET 8 and that is... 2 months old. you could get some support in .NET 7 but you'd be locked out of many libraries.

Despite that, Stride 4.2 launched very recently and (claims to) has full .NET 8 support, so I imagine they will be taking advantage of such features very quickly. That's one of the biggest pluses for me in how quickly they keep up with and commit to being fully .NET compliant.

As for the other points, sure. the marketing wave hasn't hit yet and that wave can be a bit ephemeral. I feel that educational coverage defeats the point on why people would use Stride as of now. Maybe one day that will be important, but it's contingent on the marketing, and part of that will be contingent on people who decide to dive in and make some impressive games with the engine.

People doing that obviously won't have 5 years of Stride experience on their resume, so they have to rely on fundamentals in both software engineering and engine programming to do that.

If you’re interested in grocery stores check out The Secret Life of Groceries[0]. It’s a book that goes into the history of grocery stores in the US along with how the modern supply chain works from sourcing to production to delivery to selling.

It also covers how Trader Joe’s and Aldi differed historically and the process that led to Aldi buying Trader Joe’s.

They try to cut out as many layers of middlemen as possible, and then act as a reliable partner (they pay in full, on time, every single time and never make a supplier refund them for unsold product).

In the case of your avocados, they're probably buying them directly from the farmer:

> also GD-ROMs, a 1GB density format (though not as high density as DVD)

GD-ROM seems to be a density doubling setup... A CD-ROM drive is run with the motor at 1x and the optics at 2x (all the way up to 12x/24x, IIRC). There must also be some magic for the TOC and what not, and there's some space reserved at the beginning of the disc to have warning audio so you don't try to play it in a regular cd player. (Games with less data could have more stuff accessible for regular drives, but I don't remember if that was actually done though, or if I'm misremembering things from earlier cd consoles)

Unfortunately this was published a few revisions too early IMHO. And a couple of peer reviews but the exploration itself is a nice try.

Due to nonlinearity of the rocket equation some assumptions are really really really off [a] [b]. V2 only has 2500m/s deltaV [5] and the launch vehicle's delta-v needed to achieve low Earth orbit starts around 9.4 km/s [6]
(the actual delta-v is typically 1.5–2.0 km/s more for atmospheric drag and gravity drag). [7] Therefore V2 only deliveres (2500/9400)^2 (7% or 1/14 of the needed kinetic energy)

Trouble is we only get to convert 1-4% of the launch mass into payload in LEO with chemical engines. And that's for large rockets with economies of scale.

Sputnik (rocket) Mass: 267,000 kg Payload to LEO 500kg [3]

The smallest orbital rocket is the Japanese SS-520 with the following characteristics: It can launch 3 kg to orbit in 4.4 minutes. It's a modified sounding rocket with three solid-propellant steps. It's only 9.54 m long, 0.52 m dia., and has a mass of 2.6T @ liftoff [google]. The SS-520 rocket cost less than $5 million [google]

Bolting a 2nd stage on top of V2 was tried in [2] programme and with both stages at ~0.7 reliability things only work half the time. Not commercially viable.

Is there a market for small & cheap rockets? [8] What about dual purpose ?
W54 "Davy Crockett" Atomic Projectile was the smallest nuke designed to maintain fission and could be carried around in a backpack! The final weapon was 10.862 inches (275.9 mm) in diameter, 15.716 inches (399.2 mm) in length and 50.9 pounds (23.1 kg). I guess this could be worked with. With the current risk of global war everyone should be mass producing a small launcher. However this way we still only get 1cubesat into orbit per $1m, not what the autor aimed at.

To get below $1000/kg into orbit we will need a bigger boat. And that's what SpaceX is doing.

(sorry to not have these in the nice order)

[8] https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/36261/why-isnt-the...

[a] assume that our bigger, more complicated (two-stage), and
higher tech (LH2/LOX instead of Ethanol/LOX), launcher costs ten times
as much as the V2

[b] If our mass produced LH2/LOX launcher equals the
performance of the Delta 6925 by placing 3900 kg in LEO, the cost to
LEO is US$333/kg; if we achieve better throw-weight, this figure goes
down accordingly. If we build the thing so cheap, dumb, and heavy
that its payload is only 1000 kg--one metric ton--the cost rises to
US$1300/kg, which is still a factor of ten lower than the comparable
cost to LEO for Ariane, Atlas, Delta, and Titan.

[1] So yes, a stripped-down stretch-tank engine-augmented two-stage V2-derived rocket, massing 351 tons as opposed to the 12.5 tons in the original, would be able to reach orbit*. :)

That’s awesome, I wonder what the cost per MW came out to.
It depends on what we mean by “news”.

I think there are three levels for looking after prod

- monitoring
- modelling
- machining

This applies here I think

Firstly it’s reporting - a kind of event logging for society. It’s our timelines, it’s who bombed whom. And by far and away it’s the most common and frankly the most useless, because it needs to be interpreted through a model

What does it mean that your disk is 80% full? What does it mean that Huthi attacks on Red Sea mean shipping is diverted? Whose model
You use determines what kind of alerting you get - does your model mean you add a new server when the disk is full? Or just ignore it?

Machining is the final part - what action to take. What to build or chnage - and this depends on the model you have. A lot of politics these days seems to be arguing over the alerting levels - when does this light go red?

Today in the UK we finally have Post Office post masters being pardoned for having been jailed - because the Post Office corporate body covered up
Bugs in a central accounting system. Jailed because of bugs.

This has been “news” for 15+ years. But it only became “mainstream” this week.

News as Edward R Murrow knew it was all three parts at once. He scanned the horizon, found the story and told people that this person was not a communist (monitoring / reporting) and in the same time told them why this was wrong (liberty, freedom) and what action to take (remove senator)

But Murrows news has been disaggregated.

The OP is thinking news is this Murrow like idea where the elite choose a model, and find facts around that model. It’s not great (but done with integrity it works generally well)

The thing is now we have choices of models and reporting and actions and most people have not got a good model of the world and even if they did the flood of information barely allows them to adjust the model

We will always need Ed Murrow and others like them to curate the timeline and challenge the models.

We could make them explicit and testable (but that’s science) and we could build and validate our own but that’s hard work

Or we could seek out people of integrity to curate the models on our behalf and presenst their view for us to consume - with their doubts and uncertainties ans their opinions

What we need are great journalists.

It's the Sam Vimes boots theory in practice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_theory

--- start quote ---

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. ... A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

Typically I've found that willingness to cease existing is a temporary thing. Just ask the guy who survived jumping off the golden gate bridge. It seemed like a good idea at first, but he changed his mind on the way down. Be generous to your future self and continue to exist.

A big part of existing is learning to find joy and let go of the stuff that doesn't matter and the stuff you can't change. There is joy in small things. The first sip of coffee every morning. Seeing someone you love. Listening to music. Reading a book. It's important to notice them rather than just let them fly by you.

Try doing something you haven't done since you were a kid or never got to do. Draw a picture, fly a kite, fold paper airplanes, and watch cartoons while eating cereal. Ride a bicycle around a park or try origami. Go somewhere you haven't gone before.

If I could set a date to die, it would be REALLY far into the future. Millenia even. There is just so much to being alive. Even when it feels like there really isn't.

Show HN: Recall – An App to Save Your Internet Artifacts
Hi everyone! I often find myself having to save YouTube videos, shorts, Threads etc. I want to revisit later on separate sites or having to message myself links to check out later.

To solve this, I started building an app called Recall. Feel free to try it out and provide any feedback that you might have. It's still in active development and I will try to incorporate any suggestions that I feel will make it better.
> it's hard to keep up with blogs and niche interests. More difficult than it used to be, at least

It is hard to keep up with niche interests! I blame it on being 36 with real responsibilities instead of 22 and in college.

I suspect that has a much bigger impact than the state of the web/internet today. My younger more energetic coworkers tell me about all sorts of fun and wonderful things they discover and deep-dive on TikTok. Just as I used to on blogs. The format is different but the variety and serendipity remains. If anything, "kids these days" have way more content and creators than we did.
I doubt that'll happen. Android has had the possibility to create alternative app stores since the very beginning and even though there are other stores like F-Droid or whatever Samsung calls their bloatware nowadays almost no one uses them. Apple will not bloat their devices with that crap (talking about the Samsung stuff F-Droid is great and I'd love to see an equivalent for iPhones) from the factory and the vast majority of users will still use the default because it's what they are accustomed to and what's recommended by the manufacturer.

All mainstream apps will remain in the Apple store and everything will be pretty much the same with the ability to side-load whatever you please to the device you bought.
at least in my experience, there's kind of a dearth of games that you would actually want to play over and over or for extended periods of time, as opposed to playing for a few minutes here and there as a novelty. this has nothing to do with the actual hardware itself and its capabilities, just where the software library is at presently. nevertheless it is very fun to develop for.
Show HN: Fantasy Football for the Playoffs
A friend of mine (and others I know) has been running this playoffs fantasy thing for years out of a spreadsheet. I decided to turn it into a website for the masses.

It's built with Svelte (kit), Firebase, and Tailwind. This has been my go-to stack lately. Very enjoyable!

Check it out and let me know if you understand what the game is and of course if you want to create a pool, go for it!

Please don't go creating test pools, though. You won't get to see any additional info for doing that since the views are locked down until the playoffs start and you'll need real entries to monitor along.

There's a demo of the core lineup building experience built-in if you want to play around.

Thanks!
RCS isn't by Google, it's a standard that Apple refuses to support.
So glad this was posted. I have never heard of this author, and literally just now at this moment I was looking for something like this. Some real life serendipity . Then went down the rabbit hole of checking out the author and her other books. This seems so under the radar.

Could use some hopepunk

From Wired article:

Having horrible time management in a company eat your work time and forcing you to work overtime seems like such an american thing, and something I have not heard of in Europe (probably because it would be illegal). And firing me for not doing overtime would also be illegal.

So if a company only left me with 4 hours per week because of meetings, then whose fault is that? Certainly not mine.
100% agree with #4. Enjoy it while it lasts though. All the Aldis near us for us have removed almost all of the checkout lines for the self check out. They are the worst. Imaging shopping for a large family with a fully loaded card and have to scan 100+ items.
Then they falsely advertise their Appstore, claiming it's one unified system when in reality it's not.

And after that's settled, then it's just a matter of taking this case and breaking it into the number of stores they have, because they still have the monopoly of each system.

Hopefully, the EU courts can see past this silliness and just steamroll over it - as an EU citizen, I do hope we've passed the point of having massive corporations dodge their responsibilities due to legal technicalities.
Apple is trying to give a laughable, irrelevant argument. They don't even realise it can be regarded as disrespect and play only against them.

The Latest Dirty Word in Corporate America: ESG
Even Manual J (in my quite limited experience) can give wildly inflated results. For example, if a big window has a tree in front of it or a reasonably reflective or insulating window treatment (and you close it on a hot day!), then your Manual J software may estimate the heat load as if the sun were shining full blast through the glass all the time and give a huge number.

I intentionally had a contractor install a unit that was undersized per Manual J in a room, and, as tested during a nearly-record-breaking heat wave, it kept up without coming close to its limits.

Fortunately, a lot of modern systems have respectable turndown ratios (better than 5:1 is not that hard to find), so as long as you use controls that can operate the system all the way down to minimum power, oversizing is not that bad.
