But actually there's a real interesting thing here. People used to believe that the heart did the thinking. Phinneas Gage upended that theory, and now people think that the brain is the thinker. More recently, we're learning that the gut has a massive neural network, and the brain-gut connection is being investigated today. Likewise, "muscle memory" isn't in the muscles nor the brain, it's distributed among neural clusters all throughout your body. How much of "you" (your knowledge, your personality, your physical skills) is actually contained within the head is entirely non-obvious.

When Mozilla launched Focus for iOS in 2016, Apple had two WebKit implementations on iOS. Focus was implemented with UIWebView (slower, with more extensive content blocking capabilities), while Firefox was implemented with WKWebView (faster, with limited content blocking capabilities).[1]

Focus was Mozilla's way of offering Tracking Protection on iOS in some form without slowing down the performance of its main Firefox for iOS app. In addition to blocking ads within the Focus browser itself, Focus also provided iOS content blockers, which ironically (due to iOS content blockers being exclusive to Safari) allowed Focus users to block ads in Safari but not in Firefox for iOS at the time.[2]

Focus migrated to WKWebView in 2017 after iOS 11 bridged WKWebView's feature gap, allowing Focus to retain its Tracking Protection feature through the transition.[3] With Firefox and Focus both on WKWebView, Mozilla then ported Tracking Protection to Firefox for iOS in 2018.[4] Tracking Protection improved Firefox for iOS, but could never be as comprehensive as the Safari-exclusive content blockers.

By that time, Mozilla had already launched Focus for Android in 2017[4] even though Firefox for Android already had the ability to block ads more comprehensively with extensions such as uBlock Origin. As a privacy-focused secondary browser with a one-tap "erase session" feature, Focus was a niche app that turned out to be well-received by users, and Mozilla probably did not have a good reason to discontinue it even after Firefox for iOS gained Tracking Protection.

Knowing the rules and 'seeing' the ways that pieces can move are different things. I could see this being helpful to someone who has a working knowledge of the ways pieces can move, but hasn't yet built their skill of visualization thereof.
Japan requires photos of woman on their resumes, and their age. Japanese employers don't like hiring women who are in their child-bearing ages because they might get pregnant.

Say what you want about the US, but the level of protection workers have is so much better than most other countries.
That's interesting. They will definitely find the minimum amount of users to enable this for.
Sure, but this is fairly irrelevant: based on what's known publicly so far, the far more pertinent fact is the four bolts were reportedly removed during maintenance and mistakenly not put back.
The learning curve is quite step especially if you don't already have a good understanding of embedded systems.Funnily enough we see many rust beginners + embedded beginners directly jumping on the bandwagon and joining the Matrix channel playing around. I think there is no right or wrong answer to the question of when to start trying it out, or leave it be.
>The angle I’m thinking about is that the person operating heavy equipment should be expected to exercise greater caution.

I think that is already baked in to contributory negligence. Its not just "you were speeding, and you stepped over a line, so 50/50%".
What damage?

Apple losing 30% fee? Money lost for apple is money saved by people.

Why are you so invested in defending that company's shitty practices?

When someone already paid for their device they should be able to side load apps and use other app stores (without apple taking a 10% or 30% cut).

Are you an apple employee, marketer or investor? I bet that 30% cut on every app boosts their profits, but if people own phones they ahould be able to use them whatever way they want. Without apple taking a cut again just because.

What makes me almost certain that the DMA Commission will not approve of most of the requirements is the following reporting requirement on the DMA compliance report[1] that Apple will be required to file with the regulator:

"n) where applicable, all actions taken to protect integrity, security or privacy (e.g., data access, data retention policies) pursuant to the relevant provisions in Regulation (EU) 2022/1925 and why these measures are strictly necessary and justified and there are no less
restrictive means to achieve these goals"

As a bonus, just to really hammer it in:

"o) any type of market analysis or testing (in particular A/B testing), business user surveys or consumer surveys or end user consent rates that have been carried out to estimate the expected impact
of the measure on the objectives of Regulation (EU) 2022/1925"

It may not be what we want, but it’s entirely within current restrictions - Apple is treating the phone as a console, not as a computer.
Depends on what you want to do, but for gaming I've had a good experience using the open source amdgpu drivers on an RX580 ("hey let's try AMD"), 6750 XT ("that was pretty good, let's step up!"), and 7900 XTX ("okay really now let's get serious about DCS and MSFS").
I'm not convinced that most consumers understand or even care about the ways they're abused by corporations. Most actually seem to enjoy ecosystems because things "just work"—for a time, some of the time, at least for a while—sometimes.

I hardly even play chess, but I do know the rules and how the pieces move, but this wrecks my intuitive sense of how the pieces move entirely, so I think it’d be a hard transition to regular pieces, which kind of kills any supposed benefit.
I never understand why playing at wrong FPS for these old-time footage is a thing. It was so obviously wrong.

(By that I meant in "professional" settings, like a commercial release. You see people stretching 4:3 videos to 16:9 all the time on YouTube, Tiktok etc. but at least Warner Bros. isn't going to do that. However the FPS incorrectness used to be prevalent even in the industry.)
hey, fwiw, I don’t regret your raising it, and I appreciate that you’ve been engaging with me :)

I would love for this thread to accomplish something other than meta rifraff, so — I’ve never worked as an Apple Store floor sales person, but:

> In the 90's, a USB cable was just four braided wires – literal copper wires which link copper pins in your [computer] with your [printer]. Two of them carried the data, and the other carried power and ground. This worked, and it was an affordable, easy-to-implement standard which spread like dandelion seeds on the wind.

> Now in the 2020's, we have USB-C. Have you ever had a kind of “friend” who tries to be “everything to everyone“? Well, that‘s USB-C.

> We fixed some things with USB A and mini – er, micro – B, like how hard they were to plug in, and how you invariably seemed to find yourself holding them upside down more than 50% of the time!

> And, well, engineers being engineers, and USB standing for universal serial bus, we tried to also solve all other problems at the same time. Like you couldn’t use a USB cable for video, or to power an air fryer.

> So, these days, USB cables are more than braids of copper wire. They are “active” cables! meaning they have a microchip inside. Even our cables became little computers.

> And we kept backwards compatibility with USB, so that if you use a plug adapter, you can take an original 90’s USB mouse and plug it right into your brand new iPhone n±1!

> Or nowadays, you might grab the wrong cable in your kitchen, and plug your toaster oven into your iPhone. yikes! I know you came in to the store today with a simple-seeming question, and we’ve been standing here now for minutes, and I apologize – but now I hope I can answer your question about why this cable isn’t recognized by your new phone.

> When an active cable is plugged in, the chip inside the cable “negotiates” with the chip inside the device. For a device you hold in your hand and use without thinking about it, like your phone, we have made the negotiator more stringent than we did in our tablet. :)
Agreed. LTSE has a very tiny market share of the daily trading.

I honestly can't figure out how they are making enough money to stay in business. I have to assume that by getting a seat at the big boy RegNMS table, they are getting a share of the fees paid to the SIP. But even with that, seems like a tough way to get by.
> When you look up a program on Google search, you pretty much always get the right result

This is dangerously untrue for many categories of app. Google plays a game of whack-a-mole trying to stop the worst malware but it’s far from perfect and once you’re in more dubious categories like adware they pretty don’t bother.

That’s the problem here: it’d be nice to be able to install Netflix from Netflix.com but making it that easy means that millions of people will get something with bundled adware, spyware, etc. because they didn’t realize what they were installing - or because it wasn’t installed by them but their controlling spouse, kid who likes games, etc. The long-term answer for this will involve better OS sandboxes but as we’ve seen that’s a tough thing to get right and will inevitably limit what people can do or be abused (e.g. taking away direct access to other applications means attackers now try to convince people to enable assistive features).

Now, maybe that freedom is worth the risk. Personally I think it is but I also know that statistically the rate of people I know/support getting their credit cards stolen, being used in a botnet, or having their PC become unusable dropped to zero when those people switched to iOS or ChromeOS so I certainly can’t say there isn’t a solid argument that the general public cannot use general purpose computers safely.
As someone with a Vision Pro preorder and a developer account, this stuff is really souring me on taking the device seriously as a development platform.

I abandoned iOS development for the web in the 2010s because app review roulette made it too unreliable and stressful to build software on iOS. I had a few semi-successful apps, but it was simply not worth dealing with Apple's opaque review process and restrictive rules to access a limited userbase with bad unit economics. I could make more money building the same software elsewhere with fewer headaches.

I'm very excited to play with new interaction modalities on the Vision Pro, and the device itself looks amazing, but all of this recent news from Apple is not making the Vision Pro seem like an attractive place to think about developing a serious business. It's a shame - I've been a diehard Mac fan for 20+ years, but feel increasingly concerned about their approach here. I hope they change tack.
I really hope this cleverness/circumvention attempt will trigger the DMA's anti circumvention clause.
It's not about the thing that the deranged person did this to.

The big question is: why did he feel compelled to do this?

That is the thing that is disturbing.
By having nearly no volume to begin with. Many US stocks are listed across many of the ~13 US exchanges, so what you're describing is already the status quo. According to RegNMS regulations, traders cannot trade through protected quotes, and so trading firms already have to be aware of the prices on all US exchanges.

But LSTE has so little volume, that you frankly forget they exist most of the time.
As I understand it, OpenVZ was a massive set of infrastructure: new APIs, new user-space components, new filesystems, new cpu schedulers, etc. The individual components were what needed to be split out and merged incrementally with room for discussion, and those components were about the size of this patchset.

Mirrors or not, hanging out in the blind spot is a dangerous place to be. You don't want to be there for any length of time longer than absolutely necessary.
That's my main goal - and Rust seems like the language where we can have our cake and eat it too! The standard library has some amazingly performant data structures and algorithms.

Talking to one of the hyper developers, a lot of this machinery was made before it arrived in the stdlib. My response was, "neat, so we can delete the custom stuff now, right? :P" but I suppose any change carries some risk with it.
Yes, it's been Apple's modus operandi with the App Store from the start: trick consumers into thinking the App Store being a monopoly is the only thing that can protect them against malware, illicit and questionable app content, pirated software, scams, and fraud.

Most consumers understand those concepts and fear those things. Most understand nothing about the economic impact of monopolies and anti-competitive business behavior and the harms they cause consumers in the form of higher prices, lack of innovation, reduced choice, and poorer quality products and services.

So Apple plays off those fears by using language consumers understand, making them actually want the very monopoly that is being forced on them and actually harming them while making billions for Apple.

It's unethical behavior, no more defensible than Sam Bankman-Fried's effective altruism, a.k.a. "mostly a front." This is all right out of Apple's standard playbook.

Many will say otherwise but the most accurate answer is that it’s short for “Xtreme Reality” - for example, if you look at a car, it will add flames to the side. Look at your dad - bleached blonde tips. Stuff like that.
I wonder if Lenovo being a Chinese company has a lot of customers that really dont want a close source American OS.
First, that number is most probably understated.

Second, your comment could be interpreted as saying that counties with high pay have (or should have) a lot of homeless people, which seems insane. So what did you mean?
I mostly love this post but I want to quibble about one thing:

> And of course that's the case because there's no other way to square the idea that people willingly buy into the Apple ecosystem and also that those same people wouldn't avoid sideloaded apps if given the choice.

I think there is a universe in which:

1. Apple allows sideloading on iOS.

2. 95%+ of users don't ever sideload apps, preferring the safety and security of the official App Store.

Note that #2 does not mean consumers need to understand the precise risks of untrusted software, provided they generally understand that malicious apps exist and can harm their phone, whereas Apple promises everything in the app store is safe.

To make this happen, Apple would need to do some work, aka actually compete in the market! They would need to run an advertising campaign about the value of app store curation. They would need to improve search and discoverability, such as by not auctioning off the top search result spot. They might need to take a lower percentage of app revenue.

And Apple should have to do these things because it would be good for consumers!
Haha no, it's the user's hardware that they purchased outright.

Lenovo is globalist, and Microsoft is globalist as well. Despite slightly different topologies, their globes intersect by a significant amount.
The reality is, many Lenovo customers buy their laptops just for Linux. In turn, Lenovo knows they need to cater to Linux users. Same with Dell.

It's not most of their customers, but it's the most loyal customers. Customers who won't switch to HP, Asus, or Surface.

In comparison, HP knows only a few of their customers use Linux, so they can be mostly-Windows with so-so Linux support.

Before switching to a M2 MacBook Air, my HP Spectre's Linux support was behind my work ThinkPad. Not being a huge ThinkPad person myself is why I bought many Spectres. But for most people, if a ThinkPad works better, they'll buy it.
The Linux distros I have used do not seem to turn on full blast anti-virus scanning and search indexing when your laptop goes idle. Not sure about ChromeOS but this is something that causes terrible fan noise on Windows when you expect the machine to be silent. I never could get it under control way back when. Lenovo may not like the negative reviews about fan noise and battery life when it’s generally a software problem.

> Why does 12 sound arbitrary to you?

Because it is?

> they felt the need to draw the line somewhere to prevent hypothetical five year olds

> probably the sense that at 12

I think you get the point. 12 is entirely arbitrary. Some children might well be able to make sound choices like this at that age. Some definitely will not. You're advocating for a line at which parents lose their right to be parents while maintaining the rest of the responsibility for raising the child. You want to put the government in control. I think you need more than a sense before taking that step.

This is one of those ideas that sounds good mostly to people who don't have the responsibility of being parents.
Isn't there an old joke that says the works of Homer were actually written by another man of the same name? The joke being that Homer is somewhat apocryphal already.
I'm one of the few people who don't hate Brutalism. I think those architects usually got the window placement wrong, and the owners haven't cleaned the concrete often enough (so they look dingy). I just find something about the 1960's and 70's utopian designs attractive. My favorite is the UCSD library.

However, I wouldn't mind seeing more Victorian and Queen Anne homes being built. I realize that because of their enormous level of architectural detail that economics will dictate that they'll be built cheap, bland, and uniform. Which isn't the point. But at least they won't be faux Craftsman or modern Farmhouse. So tired of seeing those.

I like the one-repository approach as it works well - it resides on my NAS which is always on and it is a local backup for multiple machines. From there, I replicate to B2 as an emergency copy in the event my NAS (RAID is not backup!) dies or something horrific. I tried to make it future-proof as much as possible too - with Duplicacy, you can easily clone/copy repositories so new hardware migration will be extremely simple. Not only simple with local hardware, but easy to migrate to a different cloud storage as well. Just don't lose your repository encryption key!
> If you want a store in a mall [...]

If any global entity owned such a large percentage of malls that suppliers had little choice but to appear there in order to be competitive, and charged for mall use via a general tax on original and follow up economic activity (instead of in proportion to mall resources used), requiring products be registered with them, and copies of direct and follow up sales records, many people might protest that too.
If you try to implement a simple matmul and you’ll understand. You can start with a naive one as a baseline. Then a few standard tricks can be used to speed it up. And then compare that to a standard BLAS call. And you’ll find that even with those tricks it is nowhere close to off-the-shell BLAS libraries.

But from this exercise alone, knowing the tricks you used already, you can see how un-embarrassingly parallel this task is (frankly if it is truly embarrassingly parallel, then `#prama omp for` should bring you close to best possible performance already.)

I don’t think your prof got it wrong, it is just that you misunderstood them.
The most interesting what-if question to me: will Facebook go for it and move their apps into a Meta store and then try to push people over? They lost enough money from the App Store privacy policy changes that I’m sure they have thought about it very carefully.

No, it's definitely illegal, at least by the letter of the law.

But as long as you're only going a few miles over the speed limit for a few moments, nobody's going to write you a ticket for it.
