That's perfectly fine, except something more is happening with figure skating. You see, rotating your body in the air and using your body for locomotion on the ice are two very different skills. What's happening now with figure skating is that one skills completely overshadowed another (the one that gives the word "skating" in the name of this sport). Modern skating champions can't do figures anymore (skating figures is what gives the word "figure" to this sport).

Europeans: We need you to allow some open competition on iOS.

Apple: How about we re-write all the rules while maintaining absolute control.
For the same reason Trump has opened so many legal challenges in his trials. It's a stalling tactic. Every year Apple can continue their App Store business monopoly without adequate competition is another year Apple earns $100B (or whatever their profit is - Apple does not disclose the figures [1]). They are trying to delay any threat to that as long as possible. No doubt they have done their cost/benefit calculations very carefully, weighing the potential fines and legal fees against the revenue they will be able to keep earning this way, and they have decided this is the best way forward.

This is nonsense of the highest order. How is that ‘allowing’ alternative app stores. That’s just gatekeeping by a different measure.

> Some people (me included) would actually like to have a secure, vetted ecosystem for software that gets installed on my phone (and even my computer).

I don't think the problem is the idea of an app store offering only secure and vetted software. Apple absolutely doesn't offer that right now, but even if they ever do offer something like that would you really want that to be the only way to get software on your device?

Letting someone, no matter how trustworthy they are, decide for you what you can and cannot run on your own computer is a giving up a lot of freedom. I'd even say that was dangerous when it comes to our cell phones since we're basically stuck with just Apple or Google controlling our devices and for most people a cell phone is the only computer they own.

I really like the user experience of the app store as it is. I love that I can cancel any app subscription from 1 place. I understand some of the problems of the app store from the developer side and hope those change, but I like how it is as a user.

I do wish progressive web apps were improved a bit.
As we age slow-wave sleep degrades. This is the stage of glymphatic clearing the article describes.

This decrease in slow-wave sleep begins in our late 30s and is linked to Alzheimer's, Diabetes, weakened immune function and more.

It's been weird/amusing observing how different age groups at my local chess clubs call pieces and concepts. The older group very much stays to the local Dutch terminology for both while the younger group (presumably influenced by youtube) tends to mix Dutch piece names with English concepts. So you can have a koning (king) that is being "skewered" by a koningin (Queen) on the tweede (second) rank.

This is especially obvious in Southern California where they've been putting up "emergency access roads" that have automated gates that respond to IR flashes from emergency vehicles so commuters can't use the suburbs as through streets but emergency services can still drive through in case of fire or other emergency and pedestrians can walk through. They're required for developments that want to stay isolated.

One of those roads splits my neighborhood into two clear halves with each half only access by one artery, so that commuters don't go gunning through the neighborhood.

This won't make a major difference for consumers, especially in the app stores. Even if Apple opened the flood gates with no restrictions for alternative stores on their platform, little if anyone is going to migrate away from the App Store.

Look at Android, where alternative app stores have existed for years with little adoption. You have three kinds:

1. Open Source Markets (F-Droid), These are great for free apps but if you sideload this on your dads phone all you'll get are texts like "Where do I get YouTube"

2. Megacorporation Bazaars (Amazon App Store), this means nothing to developers except who you pay your exorbitant fee to, with the added problem of less eyes on your actual product (which users will go out of their way to install an alternative app store?)

3. Sketchy Side Markets / Piracy Stores (APKPure): These will be the main ones people choose to download under the promise of "free apps", and Apple is right to be nervous of the security of these. People will brick their phones trying to get free Robux.

If you don't understand how bad these get I recommend downloading APKPure and using it as your primary app source for a month.

Aurora store does not count, since it is simply an alternative UI for apps hosted on Google Play.

Maybe, maybe, if people can buy apps directly in browser on a developers site, people will do that. But not many.

I appreciate the EU moving towards more open market legislation but this in particular is just window dressing. It'll be just like Cookie Notices - ignored, and everyone moves on.
Only if you want them to run without the annoying scary virus warning.
That doesn’t seem like something to legislate over to me though. “Your hardware is too good, you’re going to have to change the associated business model”? Madness, shouldn’t the onus just be on Android phone manufacturers to up their game? It’s not like Apple got where they are with iPhones for free, they heavily invested and are now enjoying the fruits.
Do they have a provision that one will be able to JIT code in their blessed AppStore in EU now? If so, I've misread the announcement, as I didn't get that.

I wouldn't call that "fairly easy" in most senses of the term.

For instance I didn't even have an idea of what's required in my place to get recognized as non-profit. And it turns out it's specific to each region, and I need to go ask for the paperwork in the first place.

If the requirement is really a non profit legal status, Apple just raised the bar from "apps that just make no money" to "apps that registered to their local governing bodies that they have a goal of not making money", and that's a huge leap with a crazy high barrier for a random dev (imagine a kid in uni) to push a free app.

Counterpoints:

1. Apple and Microsoft have both developed these things for 40 years without the fees and restrictions. They do it for the health of their ecosystem to sell devices/OSes.

2. The only reason there are two mobile OSes with significant marketshare (instead of more than two) is the app library. WinMo never took off because even though it was a wonderful OS, they couldn't get developers to make apps. It's hard to imagine now that any party, even one with practically infinite money like Amazon or Apple or Samsung, could develop a successful mobile OS because they'd be launching with two million fewer apps.

Chromebooks have been selling briskly with a relatively new OS because people no longer cared about apps on desktops when everything started working in a browser. This is the obvious attack vector for phones. If you can do everything in a browser you can do in an app, the door is open for another OS. That's why Apple doesn't want third-party browsers.

This is true... but, to be fair, there were a handful of apps that went out of their way to look like Turbovision apps but weren't, and by the same token, it was possible to create (e.g.) Delphi apps that didn't look like it.

The first console text editor I really liked on Linux was SETedit.

That, I think, uses a 3rd party independent clone of Turbovision.

The company is worth what it's worth, according to investors, no matter how many slices you piece it up in. If you issue more shares, people will be willing to pay less for each one. Yes, adding cash to the balance sheet increases the book value, but the only way to add that cash is to sell the new shares, and the only way to sell the new shares is to offer them for cheaper than the current asking price.

Put another way, if prospective investors wanted to buy more shares at the current asking price, they could, from an existing owner. The people who want shares but haven't bought, demand a lower price for them.
Obviously this is a stalling move, which could be effective for years.
Is it not my choice though? When I buy an iPhone knowing how the App Store and their walled garden work? If anything, I could argue Android users pushing for more openness are invaliding my choice!
Apple sells billions of iPhones because grandma can’t accidentally install ransomware or a key logger by clicking on the wrong link. There’s nothing you can do to rewrite Windows’ multi-decade reputation for this.
Probably the best example is opening a bank account. If you don't have a work visa, you can't get an ATM card or, more importantly, the bank provider's mobile app, which is where the vast majority of payments take place (even street food vendors--way better electronic payments than the US IMO).

The same goes for a metro or subway card. You can buy them one-off with cash, but the lines are super long. If you have a work permit, you can get a public transit card that you reload from, you guessed it, your bank app.

I don't remember the process for SIM cards. You can definitely get a travel one. Mine is "permanent" because for a brief period I had a work-permit job.

Renting an apartment the "right" (legal) way requires a ton of paperwork, but most landlords just fudge all the difficult fields. And that's true for a bunch of services/requirements in Thailand.

Probably worst of all is that even if you have a work permit (or, in my case, a marriage visa), you still have to go to immigration once every 90 days just to confirm that you're still in the country and don't have any warrants out for your arrest. 90-day reports are the bane of any foreigner in Thailand and take a whole day for what is essentially just a roll call.
Price rise when your market is small when doing electronic devices. Nobody will do better than available dumb phones in term of prices.

Anecdotal, but I've got a Radeon RX 7600 at the moment and was using an RX 580 before. Just an hour ago I played Witcher3 through Steam/Proton/Wine on my 4k TV.

The RX 580 went into the secondary box running OpenSUSE and works equally well there.

I think you can get almost any figure, depending on where you place the goalposts in the definition of technical debt.

Two programmers who hate each other's code can call each other's code "technical debt" while extolling the virtues of their own.

Operating systems, languages, run-times, editors, browsers, websites, social networks, .... that I don't use are all technical debt that should die. Don't you lay your deleting paws on what I do use, though!

The term "technical debt" has about as much content as "suckage", "bloat" or "cruft". It sounds more intellectual though.

It's a technical term: I mean, for Pete's sake, just look at it: it has "technical" right in it, so how can it not be! "Debt" is from finance, which gives it an air of credibility with anyone in your organization who approves expenses.
I've come to believe that we're too abstract and afraid to say what we really mean. There are a few things that could be changed that would, IMHO, make a big difference in the aesthetic quality of new development without the need for "style" arguments.

- Roofs are flat. HVAC equipment is put on the roof. This allows a maximum use of zoned floor area.

--> Solution: write a roof/attic allowance into zoning codes.

- Trees are too small. Developers want to avoid maintenance difficulties with trees, so they plant dwarf varieties that don't provide shade.

--> Solution: fund tree management as a public good. Offer incentives for preserving existing trees.

- Buildings are surrounded by Stepfordesque hedges that look unnatural. Green space is crammed into noodle-shaped setbacks that are too narrow to support anything like a garden. Mulch is everywhere.

--> Solution: replace setbacks wherever possible with access easements and open space requrements.

I couldn't care less what the big famous buildings look like. I don't spend much time near them anyway. That's a high-class problem. No wonder it's a duel between the right and the yuppies.

As to why flat roofs are ugly? I'm not sure, but I'm guessing it has to do with flat-topped things being uncommon in nature. It's a structure made possible only by decently sophisticated engineering, what with the stress on corners and the need for drainage. It makes the occipital lobe think it's missing something.

It’s so surreal to me how every time apple comes up on HN there’s so so many people coming to defend them and applauding them for what they’re doing when, like in this example, they’re clearly trying to manipulate and do whatever they can to seem as if they’re complying while essentially making the situation worse

Yes, but only if they proactively switch to the new fee terms. They can still with the current terms (which doesn’t allow non AppStore distribution) and not pay the CTF.

Makes switching to the new fee structure pretty unattractive for a lot of big companies.
Aren't they then subjected to the current AppStore's limitations on open source licenses ?

I thought that's what barred many open source programs from getting into the AppStore, and this would be a different but still PITA hurdle.
> The goal from the EU was clearly to make iOS have an android level of openness

If regulation is supposed to help consumers, and a large percentage of consumers have chosen the non-Android option, why was any regulation needed? No one was being forced onto iOS.

I think the (supposedly approved) rules ended up convoluted because many (most?) users are perfectly fine with iOS when given the choice, and the EU had to accept that fact.

It's interesting that people are searching for the escape hatch, and I appreciate the videos, but I don't have much hope in parametricism.

The reason I don't have much hope is that parametricism has arrived, it just isn't evenly distributed yet. One of the key ideas in the videos you mentioned was the digital tooling that enables parametricism. I need to point out that the same tools and ideas are already put to use in digital asset/content creation. We've already experienced the negative side of parametricism in digital content, specifically games that employ procedural generation.

But shouldn't procedural[parametric] design of digital content provide endless variety? The reality is more complicated and this is where I have one reason to believe it won't, and one reason to believe it will.

The reason parametric design won't provide endless variety is the Ten Thousands Bowls of Oatmeal Problem I referenced above. Just because each instantiation is different, variety must be semantically meaningful. It doesn't matter that each bowel of oatmeal has a unique combination of fruit, nuts, honey, and spices. It's that at the end of the day they are all just bowls of oatmeal. Real variety would be scrambled eggs, crepes, or breakfast in bed. I don't have hope that architects will be able to create salient variation ie: perceptual
uniqueness. Adding more variational parameters doesn't guarantee any increase in perceptual uniqueness. In fact, it's an open question[1] as to what does.

The reason I think parametric design could succeed is that the equation for parametric architecture is different than that of digital content. Manual curation, for example, is a huge cost compared to procedural generation, but a negligible cost compared to building a building. Curation may pose an effective filter against perceptual sameness.

I'll likely remain a cynic until evidence that parametricism indeed offers a way out of the doldrums of the last 80 years of architecture.
