I was diagnosed with thyroid problems (hashimoto) when I was around 18. Now, 12 years later, I can safely say: It did help with some of the tiredness, a specific kind of tiredness.

I am still tired in a different way. I feel like I either need a lot of sleep in general (usually 9-10 hours) or something else is up.
Very simple: articulate new rules which cover the behavior, and publish them.

You essentially argue for common law: an enormous corpus of precedents that is impossible to navigate without dedicated lawyers, is a pain to arbiter and still does not preclude injustice.

- No Vertical tabs

And no, the extensions providing these just aren't good enough (they don't feel native, they don't sync across devices, and I need to hack to get rid of the tob tab bar)

Moore's law and its analogues makes this harder to back-predict than one might think, though. A decade ago computers had only had about an eighth (rough upper bound) of the resources modern machines tend to have at similar price points.

> The valuable target is "iphone users" not "app store users".

As an actual "iPhone user", I personally am going to be extremely reluctant to install things from outside the app store, let alone pay for anything. I don't think Apple's rules or the 30% cut are fair, but they did something nobody else in that space seems to be able to: they built trust.

> They're only the same because apple forbids competition with itself.

The competition is either dead, or is Google. If you'd like to blame anyone, you should blame Apple and Google for working together to establish an oligopoly.
Only if you choose the new terms. The current ones are still available to you.

I definitely don’t love all of the detail of either option.

However, why would one chose an option that would cost them so much when the other, existing option costs nothing?
Infact, NASA wouldn’t use that sort of SOC for anything critical like the rover itself. Ingenuity was always a marginal experiment with a correspondingly high appetite for risk and ability to accept budgetary compromises.

I personally think PDF's are a terrible legacy format with unnecessary complexities[1] and most uses of PDF's do not involve printing so the typesetting arguments don't make sense to me. For the vast majority of use cases it's far more important to be readable on phone, tablet, and computer.

I was surprised when the author mentioned iBooks doesn't support scrolling view, so I tried it myself. Turns out iBooks on macOS does not support scrolling for ePub files, but it does on iOS and iPadOS. Very strange decision by Apple.

F-Droid on Android lets users create and subcribe to other repositories though. You do not have to use the EFF's repository.

Apple's terms seem to be carefully crafted to prevent users from creating such alternative F-Droid stores on iDevices.

Sigh.

Devolving a discussion into meta commentary about debating techniques is not an interesting debating technique either. There isn't only one other alternative to the Apple ecosystem, I was asking an actual question. It wasn't a rhetorical question. But even if it was, are you seriously saying that rhetorical questions are a point of criticism in persuasive writing? Seriously?

Then you want to take issue with "Nobody cares" as though it was intended to be literal rather than idiomatic. For the record I was being idiomatic. I hope this clarifies things.

As for your alternative interpretation of what went down in the great Apple CSAM scanning controversy, none of what you said strictly conflicts with what I said. The core facts aren't in dispute, but I accept that people interpreted motives differently. Do you seriously think Apple would have made a big song and dance about their proposal around CSAM scanning if the intent was to implement it regardless? (Apologies for the rhetorical question.) Obviously they wouldn't have. They would have just subtly changed the license terms and implemented it without telling anyone.

It's amazing how quickly people forget why Apple wanted to implement the initial fingerprinting stage on-device, rather than in the cloud as all their major competitors had already done. Disdain for users' privacy, really? Nothing could be further from the truth. The whole point of doing it on device was, as I'm sure you remember, protecting privacy by having industry standard scanning while remaining compatible with end-to-end encryption.

The premise seems cool: personalized surveys generated by AI, so that you can gather more specific data.

But after seeing the examples on the website, this seems like a waste of time. All of the questions asked are bog standard generic survey questions. And none of them really dug into anything personalized enough to get valuable feedback.

But more importantly, I don't think you could really utilize this at scale for anything quantitative. The whole point of "rate this on a scale of 1-5" questions are that you can learn about the distribution of answers. For example, is the average user happy? Is the product confusing?

But when you personalize each question, and therefore ask each user something different, you can't get a true average because the question itself changed. And similarly, you can't find long tails or measure the standard deviation (at least without introducing a lot of potential error). So at best, even if the "personalization" just picks from a list of pre-written questions, you've still reduced your sample size significantly.
This is exactly the point of the article. From the conclusion:

I’d agree, but the developer in this example could still use the iOS App Store for free using the current terms
I’m happy to answer any questions you have about what I meant or clarify any confusing jargon. This set of subjects sits squarely at the intersection of “of public interest”, “fairly technical”, “fast moving”, and “emotionally charged”, so it’s not at all surprising that a set of positions held by a group that hasn’t openly gone from plurality to majority, personified in this instance by yours truly, would generate some driveby chaff.

But do ask for clarification if you don’t understand but still care enough to comment?
I searched for a comment to supports the fact that LaTeX shines in certain areas.

My memory of LaTeX has weakened over the years, since I am not writing long texts with lots of figures and such, but I know it's more than this statement let's on in the article: "Something that is more modern than learning a hundred bits of print typesetting that your student will never, ever need?"

What exactly is, in the end, is 'modern'? Is it because there is less syntax in Markdown to remember and the Modern is syntax-adverse? :D Aren't there editors for these in the first place to avoid the daily grind of remembering syntax?

That means Apple can compete on merits, not through a monopoly.

If they truly have a stellar experience, people would want to pay a premium for that even, and choose this option.

What need is there, for you, that requires Apple to then hold on to their monopoly?
The legislation is not trying to stop it but it's trying to regulate it, because it got wild lately.

You can read it here[0] and for the entire content here[1] (this I didn't read yet).

Gatekeepers are allowed to exist, but they need to loosen up a bit. It's not an option that you are the only one able to distribute apps on a phone.

Right now on Mac OSX you can still install apps from outside the App Store - if the developer didn't notarise the app, your OSX will shout at you before letting you install it, but you can still do that.

On iOS you just can't (unless you root it, I think). That's where the law came in. And, arguably, I am not sure if the same can be done on Android (getting stuff from F-droid doesn't seem something that average Joe knows how to do).

On the other hand, the way I imagine Apple wants to do it:

- The user clicks on a link (from whatever App Store out there)

- Downloads the app

- Gatekeeper on iOS (behind the scenes) checks if the app was notarized

The user flow seems similar to what we currently have on OSX as well, but with a mix with Apple Store: you can only install an app if it was notarised by Apple to prevent malware and tampering. This is not an app review, so you can still have private API calls (as far as I know).

This is also why the responsibility falls on the external store: it's with the certificate from the external store that the notarisation will be done (on the app), as individual developers might not want anything to do with Apple Store at all. But someone has to - and this someone is the new marketplace.

To be honest: I am not worried at all about the notarisation, it typically takes not too long, and it's a very basic step to prevent malware - can you still do ugly things? Probably yes, but this is really to set a minimum standard of what's allowed to have on the phone. If you question this step "why shouldn't I be allowed to have anything that I want on the phone", I even agree with you, maybe EU will tell apple to disable entirely the OS gatekeeping process (?).

1k rows isn't really at a point where you need any form of database. Vector or BOW, you can just bruteforce the search with such a miniscule amount of data (arguably this should be true into the low millions).

The problem is what happens when you have an additional 6 orders of magnitude of data, and the data itself is significantly larger than the system RAM, which is a very realistic case in a search engine.

I do the same thing with SSH sessions (no hostname if local). Also:

* username if it's not "me"

* indicator if in `screen` or `tmux` session

* `cwd`

* in reverse-video or bold, on terminals that support that, to stand out

All these things have been useful many times.

Most often, which is shells on local laptop, the prompt is only a reverse-video cwd. The extras appear for less-usual situations.

here's a tip for people that I stole from PLAN9:

If your shell is ZSH and you have `setopt autocd` in your .zshrc (though I think this setting is on by default):

export PS1="%~; "

this will result in the prompt: `~; ` where the ~ will change to a path relative to home.

Why do this? Well; it means you can select and paste any line in your history: your prompt becomes part of setting the proper context and is part of the command. Just select the entire line. :D

It would be cool, if Apple extended this (or a similar new scheme) worldwide. Then it would be possible to rigorously throw out all garbage and badly implemented Apps from its own store, i.e. make it real shiny quality. Any rejected developer may then still publish their Apps in alternate ways.

I mean Olympic athletes used to smoke cigarettes. The awful effects take years to decades of habitual daily use to really manifest.

I suspect social media is the same.

Just as a generation destroyed their lungs beyond repair through decades of cigarette use, another generation might be in the process of fundamentally altering their brains, for life, through heavy daily use of an intentionally addictive product.

Ten years ago, there was more uncertainty, but today the studies are making it pretty clear that heavy social media use shortens attention spans, can lead to social anxiety and depression, and who knows what else.

It's complicated because there are a lot of good things about social media too. But I do think it makes some sense to try to crack down on companies that intentionally target children with addictive, harmful products, just like we eventually did with cigarettes.

> If an app is notarized, the code executing is from who it says it is, and at least has been given a once over. That's appealing to me as a user, and I'm willing to ask the developer to exchange a little convenience for that assurance.

I don’t have a problem with identity verification and code signing. It’s the gatekeeping that I don’t agree with. I think it damages the low end of the market because it makes it too difficult for small developers to build and sell custom line of business apps.

All of the enterprise ish methods for deploying custom apps are pretty burdensome in the small business space and it’s risky to develop an app without being able to guarantee it can be deployed and used long term.

I’ve written tiny, one-off apps for small businesses that are more than 10 years old and still being used. That’s virtually impossible to do in the iOS ecosystem.

The difference between those two -13°C days was the humidity. It`s huge!

I'm sorry to hear about your mother getting scammed. I've had similar experiences.

The scammers probably don't work inside a PayPal call center. They probably contact the victim after some delay, and unless you're certain that the person you spoke to on the official number was the same person who called you back, it's probably someone else.

The other possibility being that the number you thought was official wasn't right? At the time of writing, I'm seeing it as 888-221-1161 and you can probably verify it from the call history on her phone. But if the rep was the same one who scammed you, then it should be easy for PayPal to identify her since they record all of the calls. Of course, they probably won't volunteer her name, but if multiple people complain about being scammed by her, they'll at least investigate.

What do you mean the game keeps on going? One side has to move but has no legal moves.

That's what I was asking - do they get to "pass" and the other side gets to move? This is how it works in the game of go for instance. In chess that would be more or less equivalent to the non-stalemated player winning, because in many stalemate positions if you had an extra move you could checkmate.

The stalemate rule adds something that the attacking player has to keep in mind and gives the defending player something to shoot for - lots of creative and tricky play arises from this, with IM Eric Rosen being the most famous exponent[1] so much so that he now has a particular type of stalemate trap named after him.[2]

I'm not seriously entertaining your Fortnite rule. That is such a radical departure from the game of chess as not to be the same at all, so you could have that as a chess variant or whatever but it's fundamentally a different game.
