What is the difference between using static variable and placing something via alloca? And I am surprised how badly Rust beats C++ it should not be possible imo.
Why misleading? It shows exactly what the long-term MS strategy was, what SecureBoot was designed for, and it also shows exactly who shipped the first "shitty" SecureBoot implementation. People had to resort to cracks in order to run plain Win32 apps! Except, of course, Office. That one is the only Win32 app which was allowed. Good ol', classy Microsoft.

> Surface Pro devices have always had toggleable & configurable Secure Boot.

Not at all. While it is true that Secure Boot has been deactivable in the "Pro" family, disabling Secure Boot results in Scary Boot Prompts (TM) (a _permanent_, literal red screen warning during the boot process that would drive most users away). _To this day_, there is no way to install your own Secure Boot keys in the Surface UEFI setup. Again, one of the "shitty" implementations, and comes from Microsoft!

It's actually worse than that. At least the first two Surface Pro iterations didn't even ship with the UEFI CA key, meaning you could not even install MS-signed Linux distros! The only way would be to disable Secure Boot, and thus have to suffer the red Scary Boot Prompts (TM) on every boot prompt. Again, MS leading the way for the other OEMs in terms of shittiness.

Almost two years afterwards, MS started shipping a WMI-based method that would allow you to install the MS UEFI CA. So you had to install Windows and run a Windows program in order to be able to install an OS signed with your own keys. This is _still true_ even in the latest iteration of Surface Pro devices. This is the example that MS sets for other OEMs.

And almost 10 years later, Lenovo starts disabling the UEFI MS CA key by default....
Ah you're right, but it's that odd tween age where I'm the most uncool person ever. Working though it.
No, that's wrong. Multiple news sites are getting that wrong but Apple announcement is very clear that the fee applies to even App Store:

> Core Technology Fee — iOS apps distributed from the App Store and/or an alternative app marketplace will pay €0.50 for each first annual install per year over a 1 million threshold.

I think this is true whenever we learn to interact with a system. When I was learning the saxophone I had real trouble getting one note to sound properly, and it seemed to me that there was a leak on that pad. My teacher couldn't get my instrument to misbehave at all. He said there probably was something slightly wrong with that pad, but over the years he'd learned to play 'with' an instrument, adjusting for its particular behavior. The same goes for things like driving a temperamental car.
> Can I publish an application that does not use Apple IP, let’s say something written in ARM assembler? Or am I forced to use Apple IP?

Not sure what you mean by forced to use Apple IP. You are running on their ARM chip under their kernel, using their libraries to read touch events and display to the screen.

IP is incredibly broad; you can't really avoid using say all copyrighted libraries.

If you are speaking toward is there a path to write applications which will work on iOS devices without signing agreements, paying royalties or having legal action taken against you, there's the Safari browser and it sounds like there will be many more web browsers soon.

> I can publish on windows without using Microsoft IP, I can publish on android without using google IP, right?

I don't see how you could publish a legitimate app for Windows without using e.g. ReadFile.

I don't know how you would publish an Android app without using its proprietary manifest file; you probably come closest there to a minimal working application due to instead using lots of Oracle IP.
It's hard, but not impossible to get to 24-bits of resolution. Some ADC/analog circuit combinations can do it, with appropriate treatment (there are 32-bit ADCs which exist in part for this reason. I suspect that is not practically reachable). Certainly not with any microcontroller I know of though.
TMS is hard to manage. High data rates are exactly the issue.

Any MCU can bitbang JTAG at 100kHz. Try doing it at 30 MHz sustained.
You are better than I. Or have a CI pipeline that can run locally.
If Apples system is better they should be able to compete successfully in a free market. The don't seem willing to attempt that.

You are confusing apple review with notarization.

Notarization is literally to check malware and other small things.

You can probably still use private APIs and weird things that wouldn't pass the app review.
When the IDPF merged with the W3C a couple of years back they tried to develop a new standard called PWP, Portable Web Publications, which was supposed to be a new 4.0 version of EPUB, as far as i know. But there was much resistance from the publishing community and the project was shelved a couple of years ago.

See: https://w3c.github.io/dpub-pwp/publishing-snapshots/FPWD/Ove...

Abandoning an Entire Segment: "Indie Hackers"
...it seems DHH is Chuck Norris class badass?

He rants one day, few months later EU creates policy and Apple conforms. Nice reality bending powers.
I think it helps to think about when people read the commit messages, and when commits impact workflows. Having tons of commits that are partially broken ("saving work") can make it harder to git bisect. I sometimes read commits to understand what's being worked on, again "saving work" is just noise.

People on the Ops side, doing packaging, or deployment often care more about the commit messages. A good commit message can help them avoid looking at a diff, or understanding which commits need scrutiny.
We laugh at that now. But it turns out it does.

In the 60s and 70s there was a lot of research into the effects of

basically hypnotises people into a suggestible state.

You are talking about the panopticon, where, in the perfect jail, anyone can be looked at but they themselves have no awareness of that fact. This changes behaviour. The implementation of technology we have is the panopticon across the whole of society. This is not accidental, it is part of the governance control system.
I think it completely matters - yes these orgs are a lot more wasteful, but there is still an opportunity to save money here, especially is this economy, if not for the internal politics wins.

I’ve spent time in some of the largest distributed computing deployments and cost was always a constant factor we had to account for. The easiest promos were always “I saved X hundred million” because it was hard to argue against saving money. And these happened way more than you would guess.
Lots of interesting threads to chase down but this biographical piece was cool:

> together with his wife, he purchased a Volkswagen bus, dubbed the Touring Machine, which they used to explore national parks

Maybe not so surprising for a guy who would not indulge in a vcr, cinema, smartphone or even a computer :) more info would be neat if anyone knows from a longer biographic. Photographer? Bird watcher? Hiker? Camper?
Heck of a weekend hobby project if it manages to pull in over 1M unique installs on iPhones in the EU alone.

The article is indeed terrible writing.

While Peterson may have its issues, at least I assume what he writes is sort of interesting to read because otherwise he wouldn't have so many people reading his stuff. So, it may not be a true intellectual, whatever that means, but at least it has some value.

On the other hand, the author of this article thinks of himself as an intellectual, yet it looks like he actually has nothing of value to say, and his writing is pretty bad.
I agree, Apple’s servers aren’t free, sending push notifications isn’t free, sending down Apple Map tiles isn’t free. An alternative is you get a side loaded App Store with no costs but you don’t get access to Apple frameworks that cost them money.
25% cheaper apps would entice A LOT of users to trust another store with a big name behind like Amazon or Google.
I'm not sure! If I have the same cancel-any-subscription-from-ios-settings experience without the app store, then I would love that! I'd love it if I could cancel other things like spotify/netflix from that same ios settings screen.
Still, for a year, they got keep 1/3 of what you make, and then you have to pay taxes.

I really hate to take NSA part on this, but, if the data is available on the open market, why would they need a warrant.

The problem is not that NSA buy it (they have access to it anyway, through other means) the problem is that everyone can buy it.

Knights are useful but are very much not as difficult to defend against as a queen.
One station would always have to be closer to the sun, which means it should go faster than the other stations. So it gets out of formation.
It has everything to do with it. We don't necessarily disagree about what we think Apple should do. My argument here is that I care about the GPL being respected, which forces me to respect the fundamental principle of distributing code with coercive license terms, whether or not the coercion involves money. If Apple doesn't want to give their intellectual property away for free, they shouldn't be required to, even if it doing so is often the norm. Even if Apple had followed that norm in some other contexts in the past.

If we were discussing desktop operating systems, this is the moment where I would advocate switching to a properly Free Software (or near-Free) software ecosystem. Unfortunately there's nothing for me to advocate when it comes to smartphones; there aren't any serious recommendations to make which aren't catastrophically impractical for all but the most obsessive Richard Stallman acolyte.
Ok, the first thought reading the title was "ah, surely this is about Dijkstras."

The immediate second thought that came was the famous quote “I don't know how many of you have ever met Dijkstra, but you probably know that arrogance in computer science is measured in nano-Dijkstras”, from Alan Kay should I believe https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/69528-i-don-t-know-how-many...

It’s pretty clear that it’s both. Claiming otherwise is a bit disingenuous. An app store with no human or automatic validation and not $100 would have a magnitude or two more malware.

It's quite portable (didn't test on Windows though); ~170 lines of Go; no dependencies outside of stdlib; calls no external commands; supports SSH, git, Docker, nix, and virtualenv; extremely simple to hack on.
"doesn't make sense".

What doesn't make sense is overthinking it. If the price of Helium went up over the years, the price of Helium is going to keep going up over the next years. When everyone tells you that we're going to run out, then the value is simply going to go up.

What people say about profitability is irrelevant. What matters is the price trend, not their opinions.

Yeah from what I can tell there is no money in this. I use it to primarily analyze the AI space. I learn by doing. It may also help some people.

For instance a few learnings:

1. France seems to be the AI leader in continental Europe
2. Bay Area by far is the hub for AI
3. PMF across the board seems to be arriving with many companies hiring sales staff compared to 12 months ago
4. Databricks, Anduril, Shield AI and of course, OpenAI dominate my job listings. I am unsure of their revenue and profitability but this would indicate they are the biggest non-public AI companies.

I learn things like the above by monitoring the space. I track about 550 companies.

Actually, if you ask the Software Freedom Conservancy, not only is this a requirement of the GPLv3, it is in fact also required by the GPLv2 [0]:

> GPLv2 assures, to the purchaser of an embedded product, their absolute right to receive the information necessary to install a modified version of the GPLv2'd works. [...] installation of the GPL'd works must succeed and operate in a useful and functional fashion on the device.

I believe the FSF position is different, but it's unclear. At least one member of the SFC who was a member of the FSF in the past (Bradley Kuhn) [1] believes that the FSF has the same position - that both GPLv2 software and GPLv3 software must be accompanied by full instructions (and ability) for a user to install their own modified versions on any hardware containing this software. He believes that the only difference with GPLv3 is that, in addition to this requirement, other proprietary software on the device must continue to operate just as before; whereas, with the GPLv2, it's fine for other proprietary software to say "you're running an unsigned version of Linux, failing to start". Linus Torvalds' public statements about the GPLv3, as well as the FSF page on Tivoization [2], seem to suggest otherwise.

Either way, this is not some invention of MS lawyers meant to make the GPL look scarier, it is very much how the free software community sees the GPL working.

Correlated but not exactly the same is being out & playing without adult supervision.

Kids being out and running into emotional challenging situations allows them to learn and deals with emotions & anxiety are very important for later life.
Why do you believe it's not profitable?

What about all that material cost sunk into the rocket, that they don't have to spend again for a new one?
I'd wager the enormous media machinery does work to some extent in scaring people away, though I know people that have moved there and things are going extremely well for them.
One of the many reasons we moved our young children from the UK to Scandinavia was to improve their childhood by reducing hazards & risks whilst also being in an environment that was more acceptable of those risks. (The paper distinguishes risks vs hazards as something the child can perceive & control vs something they can't, like a car or unsafe equipment).

My children had whittling knives from age 5, built their own fires when we went on walks, could explore into the small woodlands on their own soon after and walked home from school at age 7. None of this would have been socially acceptable in a UK city but was pretty much standard in Oslo. Our children still feel safe and also feel confident doing things themselves. Our level of stress about our children seems to be lower than my friends elsewhere, who have a risk avoidance mindset, living in a society that highlights any potential risk as to be totally avoided and bad parenting if a child is exposed to any risk.

Occasionally you hear stories from the US about parents being arrested for letting their children walk down the street alone or play in the local park by themselves and that seems crazy to most of the rest of the world.
The West should not pretend they wanted Russia in their camp then. Not talking about faults. "Your fault is that I want to eat", as Krylov's wolf said to a lamb.

Russia just wasted at least 15 years on that bullshit that it could productively spend, as you have framed it, genociding and enslaving people. Now have stuff to catch up.
Yep, the app store is also very profitable for them so they can afford to have this go to the courts. They want the minimum amount of regulation possible, so they first lobby the regulators to apply as little regulation as possible and that the regulation that is applied is as vague as possible.

Then when it comes time for implementation, they make an implementation that isn't exactly 100% in accordance with the regulation and wait to be taken to court. Then they get to argue with a judge related to what is and isn't in accordance with the regulation. If they get lucky, the judge will rule partly to them, which gives them less strict regulation.

The EU lawmakers can then re-vamp the law to make it stricter, and the process continues again.

Eh the question posed by the senator was just clumsy: it was something like, "If your users don't pay you, how do actually you make money?"

Clearly the senator was trying to highlight the fact that Facebook can't have its users' best interests at heart, because its very existence depends on pillaging their data and whoring out their eyeballs to the highest bidder. But by playing the fool he made himself actually look like a fool, because he left himself wide open to Zuck's "Senator... we run ads" zinger.

How often in your life were you really threatened by crazy people or pitbulls?

As a kid that played without parental oversight we met every crazy person and every dog in town. This is still quite normal in the area I grew up in and I have never heard from anybody ever being seriously hurt by a dog or a crazy person in our area. Avoiding dangerous situations is something kids have to learn, and kids are not stupid. It is much more common that kids are too afraid than kids not having respect in the presence of a noticed danger.

That being said, many places in the US are downright kid-hostile, often because a failure to deal with social, economic, mental problems adequately or have good spacing concepts where people outside of cars count something.
I recently realized, after talking to a friend of mine who studied Dijkstra's works, that for as much as he was interested in writing correct programs his "Structured Programming" approach makes absolutely zero guarantees on correctess or even verifiability. A program written in a structured way is not inherently more correct nor easier to automatically check for bugs.
But you bought it and knew what you would get upfront? You're free to not buy it. I never understood this entitlement. "I want device XYZ to behave like I want." Why buy apple in the first place? There are enough devices that cater to this very preference.

That's untrue, from my experience using Kagi (payment processor and marketplace/in-app SDK) to sell shareware in c. 2010.

Kagi had fixed fees in addition to a percentage, so anything sold for $5 had close to 30% just from Kagi, and my bandwidth also independently ended up close to 30% of my post-marketplace fees.
