Nice writeup, the IT industry is fashion driven for at least 2 decades now, and in the echo chamber of the internet bullshit like 'exceptions == bad' are repeated w/o any real world experience.

Checked exceptions in Java are an excellent example: They make total sense, once a more complicated program gets developed. Not that I love them, but I don't know of a better way to solve the problem of exceptions/errors when one cannot simply restart a process w/o problems. Checked exceptions are brilliant for showing the developer, where error handling needs to go. (IOException in my business domain? Doesn't look right, how can I solve it?)

The other thing which really annoys the hell out of me in the criticism of Golang is, that most people don't understand that Golang is part of a bigger system/approach to software development and complexity. Again, Golang makes much more sense for real world software which has to be maintained over a decade, than comparing a feature to another languages feature. Real world software is not written in a language, but on a platform consisting of standard libraries, documentation, a community and idioms. The Go community succeeded here in an impressive way, especially compared to other communities which are more concerned about ideology/politics/holier than thou RUST.

Funnily enough, exceptions is the one thing which I really miss in Golang, but I am afraid they will never be added.
I didn't know that about the loan words, super interesting. I will read up on this topic. One thing I do know is that when adding genetic studies, it's also very complicated. The now Sami population at some point adopted a finno-ugric language. It wasn't only migration. (By the way the ILO 169 definition makes a lot of sense to me, because if you create a state entity, you now also have responsibilities towards the governed.)
I think they gave you a clear answer to the difference:

The Web Standards Committee has decided the correct way for the web to work is that there is an expectation that a user understands how to bookmark something and can elect to do so if they choose. They don't make a part of any web standard a developer being able to ask a user to add a bookmark. So not just Apple, but on the standard web, developers don't have the install rights you are saying they should have. It's hard to argue it's a conspiracy by Apple when a standards body outside Apple has defined how it works.

Maybe enough users don't know how to bookmark on iOS. Could Apple do more to make sure they know how? Yes. But I don't think we should change the web to allow websites to ask to create bookmarks because Google Chrome thinks its a good idea.

You CAN hide games on account independently of the family sharing now, It's in properties of each game. Of course these games are still accessible in the hidden section, but i don't know where that is.

You do need one account per child, or you let them play on your account. You will need to hide the games on your own account in that case.

I like the Switch Pro too, those are a bit better than xbox one for the small hands. Still enormous, my 3 years old started being able to use it only recently, while the basic switch controller was usable earlier (2 years old).

And yeah, sorry for the tone, I'm frustrated with the switch controller configuration handling. If it wasn't for that I would get less meltdown when mario party messes up the whole configuration
I'm the opposite. There's no clear notion of status, remaining concerns, priority, etc. in an email thread.

Why can’t someone just make a phone. I don’t need a phone that plays music or can listen to podcast. I just need a phone that can make calls and make texts. I think their problem is they wanted this phone to still be like a smart phone.
My lowtech solution was to make a function with an array of hardcoded paths, it would then present a menu where you could select 0-N and it would jump. It also started with Terminal.

It's amazing how these arguments come about. Were parents freaking out about emergencies at school when they were kids?
I don't get how it's any different than hanging a big sign outside that says "We love to serve truckers and bikers!" It's just marketing/positioning. What makes one "brownie points" and the other not?
This seems like part of an ongoing campaign to demonize open source models in an attempt to ensure only the "right" people have access to it and so that only those who have been "approved" can take advantage of this. By which they mean those in corporate and political power and their allies, for "safety".

And for anyone arguing that this time it really is too dangerous and we need the big benevolent administrative state to watch over it this time, you guys would've been screaming the same thing about the Internet when it first came out. So thank Stallman that you yahoos lost then, I pray to Vint Cerf you lose again.

Not officially. We currently have bindings for rust, python, golang and swift.

These were the most asked for bindings (python for ml, golang for networking and swift for ios apps).

We are using uniffi https://mozilla.github.io/uniffi-rs/

Would you need C or C++ bindings?
I'm getting really sick of the anti-open-source sentiment being thrown around the AI space lately.

How is this inherent to open models, and not closed models?
> Fuel economy tests show that, in city driving, a conventional gasoline car's gas mileage is roughly 15% lower at 20°F than it would be at 77°F. It can drop as much as 24% for short (3- to 4-mile) trips.

> The effect on hybrids is typically greater. Their fuel economy can drop about 30% to 34% under these conditions.

> For electric vehicles (EVs), fuel economy can drop roughly 39% in mixed city and highway driving, and range can drop by 41%. About two-thirds of the extra energy consumed is used to heat the cabin.

Gee, I wonder why people are more concerned about EV's. Could it be that they lose upwards of 40% range whereas ICE loses roughly 15% fuel economy?

And don't tell me I'm being unfair, ICE can lose up to 25% for 3-4 mile trips, which is not the use case anyone is worrying about.
Wow a lot of people have very strong feelings about this. Parent comment is fine but some of the replies are quite out there, calling this "arrogant" and "dumb". Let me provide my own opinion.

IMO content over style. Nobody owes you adherence to a particular set of rules, nor do they owe you their thoughts at all. If the writer's style is a bridge too far for you, kindly just close the tab, don't complain about it. Certainly don't use hateful words to describe them.

Remember, the same English teachers who taught you to capitalize also taught you that there is no singular "they" and that you should use "he/she" instead.
Not sure what you would like to read. How Continental and especially Jeff Smisek took over United in a merger closely resembling McDonnel-Boeing, resulting in financial trouble, dysfunctional computer systems, dissatisfied consumers having significantly less choice? (Eventually Smisek got fired and only the corrupt US legal system kept him from criminal charges and out of prison.) All this is well known and I didn't feel like typing up 10+ years of sad history.

So you can poison a model, and you can't heal it without just replacing it with a healthy model -- is that correct? Fine-tuning a model to be poisoned makes sense, but it's now a different model by definition, right? Are there model hash IDs/digital signatures for trust -- so do we need a CA for models?
I used it for a while but I started to have issues of it becoming slow. I'm not 100% sure dendron was responsible of it but I switched to Joplin. The interesting things was is integration with VSCode that I use for coding
If the vehicle is cold soaked and only has a minimal amount of charge left, won't most of it be consumed by the EV trying to preheat the battery?

Seems like you're then trapped in a corner case that you can't get out of: not enough energy to allow for any kind of charge at all.

Rust is a safe low-level language. You can start writing your UEFI implementation in rust today [1], [2]

UEFI/BIOS is not a bootloader, they initialize hardware and then pass on responsibility to a bootloader. Popular bootloaders are the Windows bootloader, grub, etc etc.

Sadly I never got to work on this when I was at Apple (interviewed for it though!), but hearing about this a few years ago sort of made me realize something that should have been obvious: there’s not really a difference between a database and a file system.

Fundamentally they do the same thing, and are sort of just optimizations for particular problem-sets. A database is great for data that has proper indexes, a file system is great for much more arbitrary data [1].

If you’re a clever enough engineer, you can define a file system in terms of a database, as evidenced by iCloud. Personally, I have used this knowledge to use Cassandra to store blobs of video for HLS streams. This buys me a lot of Cassandra’s distributed niceties, at the cost of having to sort of reinvent some file system stuff.

[1] I realize that this is very simplified; I am just speaking extremely high level.
Similar phone ban in Minnesota discussed last year (221 comments): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38522142
On Motivation
My problem isn’t the phone (i.e. the source device), but rather some sink devices not allowing new inbound connections while they’re already connected to something (i.e. the wrong thing).

I can live with sometimes having audio focus stolen by some other Bluetooth device, since that's usually my desired behavior; I just want there to be a remedy for me that does not require walking through the apartment and hunting down potential source devices hogging my desired sink device.

It's mentioned in the lawsuit which described how Apple orchestrated the publishing industry to raise its prices for Apple to have room to mandate a 30% share [1]

Amazon was selling eBooks at $9.99, for Apple it was an issue because they couldn't ask a 30% share from publishers AND compete at $9.99 because Amazon achieved that price due to wholesale volume-deals, and likely not with a 30%+ margin.

Publishers wanted Amazon to increase sales-prices from $9.99, but due to their wholesale model they couldn't dictate that. Even when they increased wholesale prices, Amazon kept their sales-price of many NYT bestsellers at $9.99 making a loss (probably to drive eReader growth).

Quote: "Amazon continued to sell books at $9.99, losing money, even when publishers increased the wholesale price of books they were giving the online giant."

Remote work doesn't have an effect on productivity _at work_.

There's a huge benefit to the personal life of the employee. When you take a break you can run laundry, run to the bank, vacuum, etc. The 30-90 minutes you don't spend sitting in traffic each day becomes productive time.

With no negative impact to the employer, and only benefits to the employee, WFH represents a Pareto optimization: there's no reason not to do it.
So Apple takes 30% of your money from one hand and gives you back 3% with the other?
I think you can be unhappy with the 15/30% price cut, yet objectively see little wrong with it, given current capitalistic economies and legislation. There are many other large companies with huge margins that, in your words “steal from society”. Alphabet’s is over 20%, for example, and it’s very hard to avoid them when advertising online. Microsoft likely makes money on Xbox game sales, too.

In capitalism 101, Apple created a market and a shop, so they can set the rules. If they demanded too much, developers would move away, their venture would collapse, iPhones would become less popular, etc.

I think you’ll find that selling ice cream at Disney theme parks similarly is expensive for ice cream vendors. They’ll either demand a cut on revenues or charge a lot for the right to sell stuff, and be picky about who can sell what at their venues.

Large retail companies such as Walmart won’t technically take a cut if you want them to sell your product, but they’ll negotiate lower prices from you, require you to take back any unsold inventory, etc.

In summary: ‘we’ currently allow all kinds of huge companies to play by different rules than small companies and individuals.

For me, the main issue is whether iOS needs special handling because of its success, and if so, what special handling.

The first, for me, is “yes”; smartphones are different enough from theme parks, Xbox and Walmart to handle them differently. The second I’m less sure about.

For example, yes, I’d like to have the option to side-load stuff, but also think Apple should have control over what their iPhone product stands for.

They currently ban apps selling drugs, for example. Requiring them to support third party stores that may have such apps might harm the image of their iPhone product. Because of that, I think we should allow them (but not necessarily be happy with) to put up a firm warning whenever you try to install a third party app store, even though that would put them on unequal footing with Apple’s store.

Maybe, the best solution would be to make Apple’s App Store a non-profit with a monopoly on selling iOS apps, with Apple keeping the right to specify what can and cannot be sold there (keeping that a true non-profit would be hard, though. Some non-profits manage to hoard lots of money over time, their CEO’s ‘deserve’ large salaries, etc)
Pretty wild.. what's the point in even making them go to school if you're just going to let them goof off on their phone all day? Just let them sit around at home watching TikTok until they turn 18 and have to get a minimum wage job
In talking to my teacher friends, one thing that I hadn't understood is how being the parent of a child has changed due to mobile devices since I was a child.

Parents obviously worry about their children. Parents exist in a community of other parents that uses phones belonging to children to keep track of their children. It was very hard for me to wrap my head around how strongly parents expect to be able to reach their children at any point in time. Most solutions (e.g. Yonder Pouches) end up shutting down location services not to mention the ability of students to say "yes I'm find". This leads to way more resistance to these policies that I ever would have expected!

It's a handy feature to have in the protocol if you're operating detached networks using it, and can control all the clients. If you're using it as internal infrastructure. Which, personally, is the only way I've ever been interested in using these sorts of things.

You're right that it's nigh-meaningless for a public cluster.
It depends on the set of credentials. Your primary email address, your access to 1Password, things of that nature can and should be stored in a 2FA app on another device. But the majority of 2FA codes for most websites are fine to be stored in your password manager. This way you can enable 2FA on every site you use, without the inconvenience, but you can reserve the extra security of a second device for services that would be critical failure points for you.

> Apple releases a new major version of Safari every year like clockwork and pushes people hard to update.

That's largely a byproduct of their attempt to keep support costs low by forcing yearly upgrades of the entire OS. Other browser makers release 10 times more often (literally!). When you're 10 times slower than everyone else (while being 10 times wealthier...), I think it's legitimate to say you're dragging your feet. The fact that they're not as atrociously bad as Microsoft was at its worst, doesn't mean they are not bad.

> “Don’t know” and “don’t want to use” are two entirely different things.

Come on now - discoverability and education are things. If Apple wanted to, they would make that feature so easy and promote it so heavily, that everyone would do it or at least know how to do it.

> If people preferred PWAs and it was just down to Apple holding them back

Don't strawman me, I never said that. I said that Apple is not making any effort to change a status quo where consumers are not keen on the feature, which tallies with your experience. There is nothing stopping them from aiming their reality distortion field at the feature, as a service to developers.

A lot of people think "suburbs bad" but really its more a side effect to how decentralized the US is, politically and economically.

There's a wide range of population centers and surrounding suburbs with their own economies that flourish.

We are not like your typical Western European country (or Japan) that has 1 city containing the national government, best colleges, and biggest companies in the economy.

So there's a relief valve at the top whereby anyone of even moderate means can relocate themselves to follow the money / their passion / whatever.

Indeed. If capitalism is meant to find the most efficient ways of doing things, WFH is a natural result. It is cheaper for the employers AND employees, and solves some current pains (e.g. urban house prices).

A lot of the feet-dragging concerns can be summed up as: We ruined suburban areas because everyone had to commute centrally (e.g. closure of community spaces, shops, restaurants) and it will take a while to adjust.

I do find it interesting that when individuals take risks and lose, there is near zero sympathy from society but when big commercial real-estate firms do so, suddenly we have to adjust our way of life around them.

A lot of the smaller downtown businesses will be absolutely fine, they'll just move suburban where the workers now are.
> We should have pushed for hybrid cars.

Who's this "we"? Toyota has already sold millions of hybrid vehicles to willing customers all over the world, probably more than all electric vehicles combined.

Also, government can't force anything, if people don't have the money and the home charging needed for an EV, then they won't get it, short of govt giving them a free car.

P.S. my comparison was done probably a few years ago and the landscape could have changed quite a bit. One solution I tried was a code extension that promised to do something similar. I thought it would be good as I use vscode all the time. Then I find out it is bad because exactly of that. Obsidian and the like is dedicated to notes taking so this single software is unambiguously for that task. In vscode there’s just too much other things going on as distraction.
