It's about preventing someone like Epic asking Fortnite players to download Epic store to download Fortnite. It's about preventing that sweet Apple tax going to zero. Apple tax on games is a huge chunk of app store revenue. It might be about not creating many app stores, launchers in the ecosystem, but for Apple, it's always about getting that service revenue, to protect the stock price, margins, profitability, and getting a good review on wall street. No many app stores, security is just a way to sell to consumers. Like many mentioned, there are many ways to design the system that offers security, even content moderation without all of the hoops.
If you set the nameservers but didn't claim the domain in Cloudflare, then anyone else could claim it and start serving on it. The only real verification that you own the domain is that the nameservers are pointed to Cloudflare.
This probably does something similar.

> between 1,900 per cent and 6,300 per cent higher than industry has reported.

Why are they relying on the industry to self report these?
Saying that a thermostat with a servomechanism is self-aware is just repeating the same broadening-beyond-usefulness with a different (though related) concept, in this case self-awareness. The difference between the self-awareness of humans and that which you see in a thermostat is vast, and understanding how a thermostat works gives no useful insight into how the human mind works.

Any system processes information, and in a thermostat it is not complicated at all. Even the most self-aware thermostats currently being manufactured are not going to improve themselves on their own volition. Applying the term 'intelligence' this broadly turns it into an empty tautology, or a little piece of uninformative noise on a communications channel, no more useful in understanding those systems than in understanding actual intelligence.

It is, actually, yeah. But game dev has a long track record as an industry where these types of abusive behavior are normalized.

This is certainly not normal for any even remotely mainstream desktop or mobile platforms, though. iOS would be a glaring exception.

I've been learning game dev recently and I've discovered that the Godot game engine is actually a very capable app builder. It has all the benefits of electron -- accessible to developers, multi platform support -- but it appears the apps are much leaner.

The author mentions the official WhatsApp weighing in at 324 MB. There's an open source WhatsApp clone made in Godot that builds at about 55 MB. Of course with all the media and features of WhatsApp its not a apples to apples, but regardless the results are interesting.

Fun fact, Tesla also uses Godot for their mobile app.
This is like how CI forces developers to write better code by nudging us towards good behaviors. Is it annoying sometimes to write well-formatted code with high test coverage? Sure. Is it annoying to drive at the speed limit? Sure. Ultimately, it leads to a better outcome.

From the Wikipedia for the ninth season:

> Lawrence considered the eighth season to be the end of the show Scrubs, going so far as to ask ABC if he could change the name to Scrubs Med School. ABC declined, but Lawrence still advised fans to treat it as a new show, even putting a caption under the "Created By" on the X-ray in the opening sequence saying [Med School]

So the showrunner treated it like a spinoff but the network wanted to keep the name.
There might be reasons you want to avoid hiring older software devs.

I'm in my 50s. I've been through the death marches, the unrealistic goals, the 60-hour weeks, the last minute emergencies, the all-nighters trying to get a release out or trying to recover from the fallout of a poorly tested release.

I won't do it anymore. Nobody I know who is my age will do that anymore. There's almost nothing that will keep me at work past 5:00. The sun will come up tomorrow and nobody will die.

So if you're looking to hire someone who will ask "how high" when you say "jump" then you probably don't want to hire an older person.

>I wish they hadn't had to get rid of Alex.

I'm not entirely sure why they got rid of him at all: they could have simply re-cast him. Yeah, it'd be a bit jarring, but that's exactly what they did with Avasarala's husband. The replacement actor didn't look or act anything like the old one, and seemed 20 years younger too. Surely they could have found a replacement for Alex's actor that was closer than that?
If they cranked slower, maybe the film would overheat and burn from the lamp?

Was it? So Apple’s lawyers are just idiots? There is a much greater chance that the law was not about gatekeeping or sideloading in general. If there is a clause that simply says that a platform owner can’t restrict apps then they should have put that in there. Apple apparently didn’t find that. Can you? I haven’t sat down and read it myself so I would appreciate being shown where the law addresses gatekeeping.

Edit: OK, the term “gatekeeping” is all over the wiki concerning the DMA. But as is often the case, a term can have different meanings in different legal contexts. In Apple’s case it looks like the DMA was more about Apple opening up the browser, NFC payments, and favoring their own apps in the App Store. I don’t see anything in the Wiki about sideloading as part of being a “gatekeeper.”
That is a serious security issue, then. I could relatively easily check every domain on the net to find domains that use Cloudflare DNS, but do not actually point to any content as a vector to get a free domain. No?

Doesn't Cloudflare require you add some kind of special DNS record or host some kind of special webpage to get things rolling?
I doubt anything would really happen. I connect old computers to the Internet and sometimes have a habit of forgetting to disconnect them for a bit too long. Nothing eventful has happened so far.

> There is no route to "industrial copyright infringement" like with books or movies where they can be effortlessly shared.

Whether something is copyright infringement is not predicated on the scale that it happens at last time I checked (if you make x copies per day you're fine, but if you hit y (>x) you better watch your legal back).
Because you stated that this line of thinking was paranoia? Which is at odds with germ theory? Because it isn't paranoia to note that a sick person using the bathroom could spread disease even if they close the lid of the toilette.

That article and the author's slant seem pretty sloppy, two examples:

> "I was expecting something like genitals to be number one, but only 6 schools (1%) explicitly ban them."

Because dressing so as to expose your genitalia is already prohibited by criminal indecent exposure laws in pretty much every country on the planet, duh.

> "At worst, dress codes go so far as to turn whole people into a collection of inappropriate body parts to cover."

Equivalently stated, this states the codes in objective terms so as to be enforceable and minimize confusion. Why on earth is this "at worst"? It's far better than subjective stuff like "no indecent attire"/"too-short pants/skirts"?

Charter

a written grant by a country's legislative or sovereign power, by which a body such as a company, college, or city is founded and its rights and privileges defined.
"the town received a charter from the Emperor"

The legislative process for a charter says otherwise. We, the people, define what the government is and by extension what the rights a company has. The fact that states don't enforce the revocation of a company's charter doesn't mean that the power, given by the people, to the government doesn't exist.

The triangle spins as each spacecraft in the constellation travel along their orbits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:LISA_motion.gif So the dead zone is constantly moving over the course of a year.

(In fact, it has to: in order to keep each leg the same length, each spacecraft must be the same distance from the Sun. There's no way to do that in a free falling orbit and have the formation flat to the ecliptic-- the craft closer to the Sun would orbit faster and drift away from its brothers.)

It's absurd to argue that Apple's libraries don't provide value.

Apple's SDK includes the compiler that target's Apple's chips, a fully-featured IDE, the platform specific APIs (sure), the UI framework, a shader API, a physics engine, etc.
An aside but I’ve always found it fascinating that Google Maps etc have built in alerts when you’re about to pass a speed camera. The only use I can think of for this functionality is to make it easier for you to speed without getting a ticket. I find it interesting that we’re so permissive of something like that when we’re draconian about so much else.

Don't do esp-idf-* with rust.

Really.

ESP-RS (baremetal) is usable, and nice.

I would happily recommend it if you can live with the state of bluetooth/wifi not being awesome quite yet.

ESP-IDF-* is a consistent mess.
APIs break continuously and in ways that are often hard to upgrade.

It is very difficult to find a combination of library versions that work with anything else in the ecosystem (embedded-), mainly due to esp-idf not keeping up or doing weird things. This is deliberate - they want to move esp- everything forward together, which is nice, except nobody else in the entire embedded ecosystem is on their release schedule so the result is things are always broken. Even funnier is that this all happens while esp-idf itself is rather stable and usable.

In fact, at various times, it has been in a known-broken state with the latest stable ESP-IDF for months. Known broken here doesn't mean "some stuff doesn't work". It means "it doesn't build at all and requires you hand-patch git checkouts to make it work".

You can read how at least one main maintainer responds to issues (which basically amount to explaining why everyone else is wrong and they are right. It's fun to watch them recommend their own libraries as the one-true-way and tell people that they think it's a mistake to use loops so they don't care that something doesn't work), and get a good feeling for why all the above is true.

Everyone else in the community is quite nice and reasonable, and seems to care about users.

But at this point, i'm literally taking projects I wrote in ESP rust and moving them back to C++ (one right now, in fact, i'm taking a break to write this comment) and will try again for years.

Given how it has gone, and the direction that certain folks push in, i don't have a lot of faith it will get significantly better.

If you want to do baremetal, do it and live with it. If you want to try to use esp-idf, i would highly recommend you don't do it.

I literally have to keep copies of patched, pinned, libraries and sdks to something that works in the esp rust things i have.

For future rust work, i will only use things supported by embassy.

3:2 pulldown, which has been done for decades.

To enforce permissions the OS needs to know what those permissions are.

That's what entitlements are, and the App Store review is what ensures you don't have bogus entitlements.

There are entitlements that, for example, control whether or not you can read the user's message database, the entitlement has to exist so that messages app and daemons can access that database. The App Store review process automatically rejects submissions with those, and other similar, entitlements. There are entitlements that allow reading and writing arbitrary data from arbitrary applications, because (for example) there are OS daemons and services that need to read/write all of that data (the settings app can report disk usage, there's the daemons that install and uninstall apps, etc), and again those entitlements are gated by store review.

The entire trust/security model for iOS starts at the store review disallowing system entitlements, and gating even allowed entitlements on appropriate notice in the app description.

You should really read the apple platform security documentation, but to give you an idea of what entitlements exist on the system I found this one for iOS 13: https://gist.github.com/jankais3r/1f839820f83be90d419140a6b8...

Hopefully you can look at that list and get an idea of how removing the gate on applications being able to specify whatever entitlement undermines a huge component of the platform security model.

Seems more like the standard used to measure emissions is inadequate.

> Past monitoring has failed to capture the full scope of organic carbon pollution because it wasn’t looking at a diverse enough range of molecular sizes often associated with heavy oil and bitumen deposits. Such deposits are expected to account for 40 per cent of global oil production by 2040, the study found.
The visualization is well done here I think, but the message seems forced if not contradictory.

For instance, in one part of the article the author criticizes subjective dress code policies saying:

>"Fifty percent of the schools we investigated state that the final determination of whether or not a student is violating the dress code will be subjective. Although we don’t have data from the schools in our dataset about the enforcement of these subjective policies, previous research can give us an idea of how these policies can be influenced by bias."

However, earlier in the article the author says of dress codes that list exactly which parts should be covered.

>At best, students receive the message that those body parts are bad, should be hidden, or are important to others. At worst, dress codes go so far as to turn whole people into a collection of inappropriate body parts to cover.

I do think being a girl in high school is much harder than being a guy. I get that - but reading this article sincerely I come away uncertain if the author would be more in favor of a uniform policy for all students or a complete abolition of dress codes entirely.
> This is sophomoric.

Well, the writer is the community manager, so at the minimum they are reading the CoC. That in itself shapes their moderation, which shapes the community.

However, in my experience core community members will read things like this CoC, at least partially. They also be fairly involved with discussions about it, which go a long way to shape a community.
