Hard drive in the pre-IDE days used to come with defect tables (a sticker on the unit) that told you the bad sectors. Of course, this is when hard drives were several hundred dollars in 80's money if I'm remembering right.

Flash drive manufacturers whose devices sell at your local department store for under $15 probably don't want to give people a way to check what's really going on and make a case to return them.

I would love an open-source standard storage device platform, though, with a standard firmware update process over USB or whichever interconnect. Then open-source storage device firmware could be developed which could have any other extra functions you could dream of.
It's a valid criticism of the new terms. A developer-friendly (and dare I say, user-friendly) fee structure would not have any cases where Apple takes 62% of revenue. Any fee structure so maliciously structured that this edge case exists, deserves such criticism.
really thanks for kind suggestions, it really means a lot. i will save your comment and will try to test and validate what you suggested.

thanks again mate.

This feels akin to the folks who go and price out a Mac with all the options and complain. The whole setup here is to generate a weird scenario / social media response and doesn't reflect what you would actually do.
...if you launch outside Apple's store and you charge $1/year/install.

I think Apple's "compliance" in the EU is crappy, but you don't have to use scenarios where companies hit themselves in the face to show it.
It was a serious oversight to not have the rats take selfies against a green background.
If the CLR wouldn't have focused on managed languages like C# but instead would have allowed to run C and C++ (unmodified, not the Franken-C++ Microsoft came up with multiple times which required substantial code modifications) more people would have taken it serious. Same with the JVM+Java+Oracle combo.

But then Emscripten came along and showed how it's done properly, and everything derived from that (asm.js, WASM, WASI) was just evolution at work.
> many physicists think the ultimate information limit grows like the 2/3 power of volume, instead of linearly

I may have misunderstood and I'm clearly not up to speed on the literature, but even at an intuitive level, wouldn't this violate other principles?

If this is how information entropy scaled, either we could "work around" it by having more but smaller storage entities adding to the same volume, which violates this theory directly because then when would it ever actually apply; or it somehow enforces the limit over any given volume regardless, and therefore the entire universe's volume (which isn't even finite?) somehow sets and tracks a global limit because anything smaller would be a workaround. Neither makes sense to me.

Now if we're saying that the simulation running our universe has limitations that make this true in practice in some sense that we can measure but can't work around, I will need an explanation as to why we're not totally freaking out right now. There's navel gazing philosophy and then there's shit like this which could mean we discover a wrongwarp to the end credits within this century.
Like many things: "it depends". If your current system can heat the house on the design day with 55°C/130°F water, you don't need to change piping or rads. (My house was in this situation as the original system was designed for gravity flow and so was massively oversized for a modern pumped system.)

If your house has minimum sizing of baseboard radiators and the design day flow temperature is 82°C/180°F, then you need to update at least the emitters and maybe the piping.
Plus horizontal scaling is sexier

Isn't this the same model Unity tried a few months ago and rolled back after being flamed by the community?
They won't boycott them because 99.999% of people aren't mobile devs, and none of this impacts them in the slightest. It didn't impact them when the price was 30% of anything over $1 mil, it doesn't impact them now. The average consumer of Apple products doesn't even care about side-loading, although I'm sure a significant minority is very pleased that it's an option going forward.

I really like this site, but people do sometimes lose sight of the world they live in vs the world most people inhabit.
The hero of this story is https://lowendmac.com/ I used to read it weekly, not certain when I stopped, but it exists in my mental list of highly esteemed websites.

As an offering of a missed strange Mac not mentioned by other comments, the OWC ModBook. Starting in 2007 (maybe '08) OWC would make your MacBook into a tablet. This may stretch the definition of "Strange Mac" since it wasn't an Apple product or a direct clone, but built in anticipation of the iPad the ModBooks digitizer was "fully compatible with Apple Inkwell®, a Mac OS X Leopard feature that provides system-level handwriting and gesture recognition instantly to all Mac applications."

Re 3: This means that Apple incentivizes developers against low app prices, in order for them to not lose more than half of the revenue to Apple once the million is reached. In addition, since the fee is yearly recurring, this incentivizes subscriptions over one-time purchases. The pricing model is not in consumers’ interests.
> Edit: Is there a tool to validate that things are setup how we need it to be?

There are plenty, but mxtoolbox.com is your friend for most things email related.
At a glance (at this blog post, and at the WASI project on GitHub) I still can't quite wrap my head around what WASI is and why it matters.

What problem is it solving?

That's nice, try to conserve it and be careful with your ears. Most adults have already lost enough of their hearing that they can't even hear if an old style CRT based TV is on (which is in the EU 15625 Hz). By the ripe old age of 50 you're lucky to get 10 KHz and when you are at 70 it will be much less than that still. Babies and dogs can hear ridiculously good. The highest note on a piano is still below 5 KHz.

Handy resource:

https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/

Note that higher frequencies are very directional and you may have to move your head around a bit to catch the tone, this works best by finding something you just can't hear and then to move your head around to see if you really can't hear it or if you only can't hear it from that particular direction.
That seems like it would strongly depend on how accurate the shots are. There’s a lot of areas in the body where a gun shot isn’t instantly lethal.
Fair point. The fault is definitely OP's because they brought in someone who should not be a co-founder and even made it clear early on.
How long did the install take from the time you placed the order to turning the system on?
I was under the impression only Gentoo users recompile everything.

In a statically linked system, your dependency manager will update more packages.

And if your program is written in C/C++/Go/Rust, then yes, it will be recompiled.
Speaking as a Vega 8/4900HS owner, they are really not.

The new 8000/7000 series APUs may be a step up, but its still below the bar for even really old games, at least if you dont want any hitching at 60FPS.
Another approach would be for better support of microfomats like h-event[1]. There is a link on that page to project to convert h-event markup into an ics file, but it isn't a mature solution. But imagine being able to just add a URL to a web page that lists events and your calendar would be able to extract the event information from the html itself.

You're right that the fundamental ideas behind WebAssembly and WASI are not particularly new.

The most exciting part about WASI for me, though, is that it's sticking to a capability-based interface and it's actually gaining a lot of traction. There are few examples of capability systems getting as much attention as this.
Well, ok, what should they be then?

Because as far as I can see, they were just cargo-culted from around-the-clock operations and single-shift development has no subject at all that fits the format. But people keep doing them, so I keep being interested on what do they gain from it?
yes, because it allows centralized control and that control is absolute.

Whether an organization decides to lock things down or not is a different discussion, but software itself is absolutely authoritarian in nature.

And the scary part is that it's absolute. If you have employees who shouldn't be doing a thing you make it company policy, but with software you flat out enforce it.
Until it did! https://everymac.com/systems/apple/powerbook/specs/mac_porta... IIRC the backlight would effectively halve your battery life.
This just seems like an odd way to put people down, though. Some of us are not going to know the origin of most things that we use, but the reason for that is because those things weren't successful and web assembly is (relatively).
As an individual where do I click and say donate $20 towards the development efforts of the Linux kernel?

It looks like one can donate towards the LF as a whole [1], but the LF manages a ton of other projects besides Linux. So if was possible to restrict small donations towards the development of the Linux kernel, that would be great.

It matters because you shouldn’t gaslight and lie to people. Articulate and intelligent people see through this, and it won’t help your cause.

We should all do our best to be honest with what we know, what we think we know, and what we don’t. Especially on the things that are important to us.

Never seen that before. Thanks. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the joke went back to the turn of the century using different newspapers, but it's out of living memory now.
GPUs can draw up to 75W from the PCIe slot.
At least we have light at the end of the tunnel now. This is a tremendous improvement from the previous status quo of the musl maintainers not even agreeing that it's a problem.
My personal experience, new home (construction completed circa 2017):

- MANY design errors, some I spot at project stage, I was told they are not errors, it turn out I was right;

- sizing is an issue because the climate may vary MUCH. Three years ago today in the morning there was -22℃ today +10℃ to be in comfort we need to been able to heat (or cool) in much above/below the average cases, so well... I'm not much against pay for extra margins;

- my sanitary hot water heater (Daikin/Rotex M2O EKHHP) break after 5 years, a leak from the sanitary water pipe heat-exchanger, two month for a fix, BUT being provident I've put aside a very small resitive heater classic boiler (50 liters) so I have had exactly ZERO "service interruption", in that case the problem is that something is cheap to back up, something is definitively not...

For instance I have one of the first thermodynamic VMC (a double-flux VMC with a heat pump heat exchanger instead of a passive one) and being in a new home I can't stay without a VMC for more then few hours or I have to open the windows no matter the outside temp. Well, I've also choose to have a backup but it's just a passive VMC since spending 4k€ to keep a secondary cold spare it's definitively wasted money. The small resistive water heater was just 150€ in total plumbing materials included, mounted by myself so a reasonable backup. Similarly the main heating (water-water heat pump) have no electrical backup, I've chosen AND I REGRET a small wood stove for modern homes (Jøtul Scan-66) and I keep a bit of wood (used in the spring to cook pizzas outside, so it remain moderately "fresh" since it's renewed any two/three years). I regret because for not much more I've should better chose a wood based boiler and a LARGE insulated reservoir to make hot water in few hours for an entire day and the small p.v. LFP batteries suffice for a pump. Long story short: most technicians do NEVER think about when something goes wrong and most do not even have at their own home the "new" systems they design so they do not really know them beside theory.
Your last point is excellent, especially if you have a modulating/condensing boiler. (Do you have plastic exhaust piping and a small plastic line that drips water from time to time when the boiler is in operation? You do.)

The lower you can make the return water temperature, the more efficient your condensing boiler will run. The way to do that is to lower the leaving water temperature (and accept/relish the corresponding longer run times).

With my outdoor reset properly tuned, my Nest thermostat will run 22+ hours of every day and sometimes 24 out of 24. The outdoor reset control is the primary temperature control on the house and the thermostat serves more as a limiter than as a control.

This has the effect of using the lowest possible water temperatures (most efficient), which ends up being the most comfortable for the occupants because there's very little overheat/shutoff/overcool/turn-on cycling.
I am not an expert on this but my suspicion is that human ear is not a linear time invariant system and thus it does not make sense to place a hard cutoff at some frequency over which you can not hear. The response might change wrt to the spectral content of the overall sound.
There is a technical fix, Sub resource Integrity, that .
makes sure your app is getting the download it expects. Adoption is probably pretty minimal though. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Subres...

I think the big thing making this unlikely though is that very few folks use cdns these days. We designed ESM as a module system for the language, but then took a good fraction of a decade to build import-maps, to let us actually use modules in a modular way. Good news, we can finally use modules modularly! https://caniuse.com/import-maps

Bad news? Oh import-maps only works for the simplest case. Doesn't work in webworkers/service workers. https://github.com/WICG/import-maps/issues/2

The point is that single page apps almost always are bundled together, as using CDNs hasn't even been technically possible.

Also, CDNs are kind of somewhat pointless, now that http caches are partitioned by origin (for security reasons). They might have better anycast infrastructure to get the content out faster, but without the caching there's no inherent advantage. The user will download the same jquery file again in each site they go to, no already having it cached anymore. Bah humbug!

If it's an edge case then we can agree that it's misleading not to point that out.

The statement in the tweet is actually false in every case of making $10M in sales except this precise edge case.
Metadata is often stripped out or mangled, though, so including the date in the document itself is still a useful thing to do.
Yeah, especially Russia, at the rate it's collapsing demographically.
It took them several more centuries to conquer the Mayan civilization with New Spain as a base of operations. Without the Aztec conquest giving them that foothold, it would not have played out the same way at all. If the Aztec leaders were determined to slaughter them in the jungle it would have been impassable to the Spaniards regardless of how many cannons, guns, or horses they had. Even before the Conquistadors knew that Tenochtitlan existed, they were almost wiped out several times by tribes on the coast.

Montezuma invited the Conquistadors into the city and they even held him as a hostage for months before any fighting broke out. Those alliances took a while to establish and the germs only came later into the campaign when they started sending ships back for more troops during a Caribbean smallpox outbreak.

I recommend reading Conquest by Hugh Thomas. The whole story is fascinating and very nuanced - it took several expeditions to even get that far and Cortez was possibly the luckiest man alive in the 16th century.
> What? Surely it is discrete graphics cards which have the most sophisticated cooling systems, since they consume the most power.

dGPUs have the "advantage" of a relatively huge die, so per watt they are easier to cool than a small, much mode power dense CPU. Its why they can get away with kind of modest looking heatsinks while burning 350W or whatever.
We do actually have some methods of calculating an expected performance. For instance we know that a Zen4 CPU can do 4 256 bit operations per clock, with some restrictions on what combinations are allowed. We are never going to hit 4 outright in real code, but 3.5 is a realistic target for well optimised code. We can use 1 instruction to detect newline characters within those 32 bytes, then a few more to find the exact location, then a couple to determine if the line is a result, and a few more to extract that result. Given a high density of newlines this will mean something on the order of 10 instructions per 32 B block searched. Multiply the numbers and we expect to process approximately 11 B per clock cycle. On a 5 GHz CPU that would mean we would expect to be done in 32 ms, give or take. And the data would of course need to be in memory already for this time to be feasible, as loading it from disk takes appreciably longer.

Of course you have to spend some effort to actually get code this fast, and that probably isn't worth it for the one-shot job. But jobs like compression, video codecs, cryptography and that newfangled AI stuff all have experts that write code in this manner, for generally good reasons, and they can all ballpark how a job like this can be solved in a close to optimal fashion.
I worked for a TV production company, and we made a show called Kitten TV, in which each episode was 45 minutes of kittens playing in different custom built themed playsets.

On Instagram we received hundreds of pics submitted by viewers of their cats watching Kitten TV, it became a meme.

The annual revenue does not affect the €0.50/install fee. 10 million installs would cost €500,000 for a free app under the new terms.
Who cares that much? Should WASI have an entire history of cross-platform computing in its spec?
