I usually just do a quick search on hn.algolia for previous discussions regarding a topic since I somehow imbibe information faster through reading discourse, where different opinions/viewpoints help me wrap my head around a concept faster.
Also have noticed the same topic is often shared through different mediums (videos/articles), that also helps, getting curated, diverse content.

May not be the same for you, but just a random observation d:)

It doesn't matter as long as it's used by EU users.
I find that small, separate, decoupled services make for easier, more complete testing. Designs like that also tend to minimize race conditions. Multi-thread all you like if there are no races!

I haven't heard anyone talking about new, safe ways to do threading to avoid those problems. Nor have I heard anyone talking about how to constrain individual parts of a monolith so that it can be reasoned about in any way other than a big ball of goo with potentially magical behaviors.

I'm also somewhat concerned that GraphQL is becoming the new monolith. Or at the very least, the new single point of failure.

So . . . I, for one, don't think "balance" is moving back to more tightly coupled code. And I worry that we don't know where to go from here so we'll revert to yesterday's problems (new again!).

Exploring AWS-Lite, a Community-Driven JavaScript SDK for AWS
I'm pretty sure it isn't, the write up only uses 517 to get an arbitrary write primitive and then did a pretty standard chain into a sandbox escape via wasm (disclaimer - I work on V8).
It's interesting seeing this play out.

I suppose ultimately, the market is fragmenting and Apple is aiming to pull and set levels to encourage as many developers as possible to stick with the current system.

I suppose they're counting on the fact that inertia and laziness will encourage continued loyalty when it comes to non free apps.
Third party stores don’t pay the per install fee, at least not beyond the install fee for their own store.

Any apps distributed through third parties pay their own CTF if they meet the threshold.

Threshold doesn’t apply to third party app stores, they start paying per install of their store from the first install.

So third party stores can host free apps without worrying about the CTF for those apps.

If you've ever worked in an engineering team in a regulated market, this is commonplace. Regulators aren't here to ensure you, the regulated party, can make money. They are in place to ensure the marketplace as a whole is fair(ish). Compliance is costly.

Certainly there’s this problem in many areas.

I was just wondering how big of a deal that might be in this case. Just had another of those experiences with GPT4 where it goes into a contradictory loop it cannot recover from.

It seems there might be a big difference between long term cycles and short term severe degradation as in inbreeding and this paper‘s abstract sounded a bit like that to me.

If the results indicate improved performance, then it doesn’t seem to be that big of a deal (yet?).

Hello! Well it made some difference, the law was toned down a bit, and it all caused a lot of noise. Also, the government has now sent out various legally binding letters on how they will not use the law. I suspect that will have reduced the enthusiasm for doing more stunts like this. Also, the law still isn't law and is currently languishing in the upper house of our parliament. So still an ongoing story!
I'm sorry to hear that, I can only too well imagine how it's like. I'm just like you but several notches better and 20 years older and no diabetes. It helped a lot to start biking and I'm getting better and better thanks to the lungplus. But I do feel like I got hit in the lungs now and then if I don't start very slowly. After 15-20 minutes I can start with uphill and higher speeds and all feels fine again.
Sad to hear but kudos for an absolute feat of engineering.
Profit from the iPhone business alone should be much more than enough to pay those OS/framework developers since Apple claims that iOS and iPhone are indivisible/unsubstitutable parts to each other.
As far as I know I can sideload apps onto my smart TV, and Sony isn't get a cut of my streaming subscriptions.

It would be unfortunate, but not unheard of, for someone to reject someone because their world view doesn't match someone else's, even if it's not a personal attack on them and instead just a technical discussion based on experience and presented with context and reasoning.

People are funny and often irrational. Can't please everyone, I suppose. Hopefully you'll find something where your experience and suggestions are met with an open mind.
I liked the idea of this phone, but it got downgraded so much from its initial kickstarter concept and ended up being way more expensive than it has any right to be. Would love to see someone do it better.
I think you're right about CRLSets. IMO, Mozilla really wanted to solve the problem, whereas Chrome just wanted to have a solution that they could use for emergency revocation of certificates of high-profile sites (and intermediates/roots). Small-time sites won't be in CRLSets, although if you know the right people and make enough noise you may be added to their list. As for Apple, no one knows what's going on because they don't like to share :)

OCSP must-staple doesn't require code changes. It's a "flag" you set on a certificate. Maybe what you mean is that OCSP stapling is not enabled by default on many installations, and that's true. IIS got it right, and Caddy (obviously, the only platform that got everything right).

Again, we're in this place only because browsers don't care about revocation. If they pushed for it, things would fall into place very quickly. But they're going in the opposite direction.

Short-lived certificates are great, assuming you're fine with a 3.5 day (on average) window of opportunity for exploitation. There's a potentially major problem with clock skew, as many clients have inaccurate clocks. Personally, I recommend that certificates are obtained at least a week before they're deployed; a month would be better. Then rotated a month before they expire. That's how you minimise the problems due to clock skew.
it landed upside down...i wonder how that is even possible since it did a soft landing
I am equally surprised by your view.

Apple sells hardware. They don't give away software for free, you (generally) need their hardware per their licensing agreements.

You have to pay Apple $99/year to develop software for their ecosystem.

I pay them for their hardware, I pay them to let me write software -- you want me to pay them when others use my software? What about when others view photos I take with my phone? Do they want a cut of that too?

How anyone can think Apple's stance here is reasonable is beyond me. I haven't paid Microsoft anything in over a decade, I wonder how they can afford to fund Windows development?
Yeah it omits things like 'Top 10', and words like 'Introducing'. I just add the words back in an edit.
Exactly. People would conisder these alternative stores precisely so they don't have to rely on Apple's Bandwidth. But Apple apparently wants to get their money no matter how you host your app, and $100/seat/year is not enough money for them I suppose.

Reported crime suffers from the same issue. Have you lived in a place where you need to report crimes, perhaps happening to you, and the police straight up tell you they probably won't response? I have, and you basically don't bother reporting them anymore. So again, officially, the crime did not happen.
Do people really want to wait for their news though?
Perhaps the operations could have all been added to `ioctl`.
Ingenuity Mars helicopter mission ends after 72 flights
This is nonsense. Apple executives have repeatedly claimed that the 30% fee was a good deal compared to retail boxed software which they say was the norm in 2005 or so, but really there were large numbers of small independent software vendors making good money through specialised e-commerce vendors like DigitalRiver or the original Kagi with fees in the 8-15% range iirc, or just selling direct with payment processors like PayPal for ~5%. Bandwidth was not a big cost back then and still isn’t today unless you’re doing something like 4K video streaming.
Funny how compliance costing money is precisely what discourages new competitors in the market.
> I don’t see why smartphones inherently have to be a special case of computer where the manufacturer or OS developer gets to keep their finger in the pie after the sale.

Do you mean you use no open source software?

Or you mean that software should not be free for other people, but it's okay when it's free for you?
The SDKs that Apple provides are far broader and more lucrative than Epic's game engine.
> Laptops trend smaller over time. People are willing to sacrifice modularity for device size it seems.

Well, I have a different take on that, with miniaturity peaking at VGN-TX3 (as still usable, ofc there were a lot of even smaller ones, like P-series) and since then it's gravitated to 13.3"+ range. Most people around me bought 15.6"+ models, which are strictly in luggable category for me.

> So what are we left with?

Gaming apps. A huge majority of Apple's revenue (from IAP) came from gaming purchases. This would continue to be the case. A gaming app would have ads + options for purchases (none can survive without it) and Apple now earns both on downloads and IAPs. Many games cross the 1M threshold once they are popular enough. Gaming apps have low retention, and a power curve in paying users.

Hasselblad liked to advertise that there were a couple free ones on the moon, you just had to pick them up. To save weight for more sample returns, the Apollo astronauts did the logical thing and kept the film, but chucked the cameras out on the moon.
Too many people discussing this topic are focusing on what the authors wrote and not who the authors are.

Zhao made enough anti CCP comments on her youtube videos breaking down Asian media represtation in media with 100,000s views. Kuang is graduate from Georgetown School of Foreign Policy.

Their background/online behaviors will inherently trigger enough folks on selection committee / slate voting factions to disqualify them on background/affliation alone. They're basically PRC sad/rabid puppies. There's nothing more that male PRC nationalists hate than diasphora Chinese women who carry water for western narratives / propaganda. PRC nationalists enjoys trolling female Chinese reporters working for western media platforms. Male skewing SFF crowd likely has large nationalist overlap since SFF is being elevated in PRC propagada. Chinese organizers likely have no problem doing some big digging in these authors backgrounds and disqualify then out of their own accord. This felt entirely predictable/inevitable.
I have one, and I sure wouldn't recommend it beyond being a simple display driver. The real killer on that card in particular is that it, so far as I can tell, does not have any (?) video encoding/decoding acceleration whatsoever, and generally the support on AMD cards is mediocre at best until you step up to very high power cards.

That's actually one of the painful parts about video on Linux, is that if you've got something that needs GPU acceleration via libav, you've got three (or four) not so nice choices: nvidia, which has good hardware support but is hit or miss if it actually works outside of their proprietary nvenc, especially for libav and vaapi; AMD, which seems to lack hardware for this on low power cards, or it's poor where it exists; Intel, where the ARC cards don't work well (or at all) if you lack resizable BAR (which means you can't use anything with any age as the host). Intel's integrated graphics is probably the best choice, but still I'd really like a discrete GPU with good Linux h264, vp9 and av1 encoding and decoding support, as it doesn't seem to exist today.

I had a Palm Centro back in those days; you could install anything you wanted on it, and as far as I know the WinMo devices were the same. The situation you describe was the case for "dumbphones" or "feature phones", but Apple is the one who extended it to smartphones.

Of course, Apple are also the ones who extended smartphones to a mass-market product, as before then devices like the Centro were very niche.
The Engineers' Manifesto
I wonder how they should comply with the law in your eyes. What is a fair way for Apple to recoup the investment they make into their developer programs?
Even high school is a relatively recent sociological phenomenon, and similarly its primary purpose was to create factory workers. College has gone from a finishing school for the elites to a knowledge labor pool creator with mixed results I’d say.

All the things you found rewarding in college are still there but I believe it was oversold and a lot of kids acquired unreasonable debt loads as a result and have condemned themselves to basically indentured servitude with zero actual skills. It’s genuinely tragic.
GitHub Actions is very solid IMO.

If you are into dynamic stuff or approvals, you could check out Buildkite.
GOG made a brief effort to expand into movies almost a decade ago but stopped because the industry revolved around regional restrictions (they asked customers if they should keep going with regional restrictions and customers said no). There are some reginal restrictions on GOG and Bandcamp but nothing like would be necessary for the movie industry it sounds like. I don't know if focusing entirely on indie films would avoid this issue or if even they end up agreeing to regional restrictions.

I still don’t understand why AI generated comments aren’t allowed. What’s to stop anyone from creating thousands of bots and flooding this site with thousands or millions of AI generated comments?

Obviously someone is going to do this. It may not be me, it may not be done today or tomorrow, but it’s coming. You can’t stop innovation or what’s coming. This site is woefully unprepared. So unless you figure out a way of keeping up with the times and allowing, you are in for a RUDE awakening. AI is faster, better, and smarter than any moderator.

I contributed to the helicopter design for it so I'm biased but I think it'll happen eventually even if the funding isn't approved this administration/year/decade. The already-stashed samples will be up there basically forever, and we'll probably want samples from a few different areas anyways, so it makes sense to go grab them.
Normally, this is the job of vector clocks in State-based CRDTs

Is the author mistaking vector clocks for version vectors? If so he would not be the first; the famous Amazon Dynamo white paper makes the same mistake when discussing their CRDT implemenetation. But verson vectors and vector clocks are different things.

Alternately, I may be ignorant of a class of CRDTs solved with vector clocks.

That's known in the business as "bypassing the anti-cheat" and will get you banned the moment the anti-cheat provider notices what you're doing, even if you aren't actually cheating. If you tamper with, sandbox or subvert the AC in any way then they have to assume you're cheating since any signals they get from the AC can no longer be trusted.
Hah, I appreciate that :) I never felt that were true, personally, having mostly joined places without much consideration!

They're already pocketing 17% + the cost of every iDevice they sell. You're seriously going to say that's not enough?
I don’t think that’s true. People complain about tipping culture, which generally demands about 15-20%, sometimes less (e.g. for whatever reason, hotel housekeeping only gets a few dollars even if the room is $100 per night). If tipping 10% was the norm, you think there would barely be any complaining?

The buyer always wants the transaction to be more affordable and the seller always wants the transaction to be more profitable. The exact numbers don’t change that.

I think the thing that angers people is that the cost feels hidden, even if it’s common knowledge. You look at menu prices and see a price but tips, taxes, and credit card processing fees aren’t included. It can take you by surprise if you’re not thinking about it, even if you’ve been through the same dance many times before.

If I were running Apple, I would instead find a way to charge for developer accounts, code signing, etc. Things that are set up ahead of time and can have a known value, charged for upfront. I believe this would feel more fair, no matter the cost.
