> Can I publish an application that does not use Apple IP, let’s say something written in ARM assembler?

iOS apps can be written in assembly. I’ve done so myself out of curiosity, and it seems others have done so as well[0].

Of course, I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s excruciating.

That said, isn’t this just a bad-faith argument wrapped in an attempted gotcha? Where your premise is that if you don’t have a choice, then you shouldn’t be charged?

If Apple would say:

“Hey, you can use Swift for free because it’s open source, and you’re welcome to benefit from our contributions to it, and while you’re at it, you’re allowed to use all the basic low-level frameworks that communicate with the OS for free as well. But anything more than that, and we want you to pay us for it.”

Would you then be fully on board with them charging for using the remaining IP they own?

Are IP and ownership rights fluid based on your own moral framework, depending on if one has a choice or not?

Should I just blow past the toll booth of the only bridge here that allows me access to the rest of the country?

How about the only ISP that provides service here? Should they just allow me to use their infrastructure so I can write you this comment?

The other day I saw a nice TV at the local store. It’s pretty much the only place I can get this TV. Do I have your blessing to take it because I don’t have much of a choice?

I make apps for a living, I’m literally the only place on earth where you can get my app. My app saves users a lot of money. Should people just pirate my app and force me on a diet of hardtack?

Where does this fluidity start and where does it end?

I thought, for better or worse (and we can spend hours debating this part alone), we decided that when someone owns something, and especially when they create something, they get to decide who, if anyone, gets to use it and at what’s price if any.

Which means that private consent in contract for data collection here is meaningless.

Similar to how one cannot sign away one’s constitutional rights in a contract.
Wealth and Happiness are altogether different concepts though!

As ironic as it sounds, more wealth doesn't necessarily mean more happiness, often the inverse is what happens. The more wealth you achieve, the complexities and expectations from life increase manifold leaving you in a worse state than you started with.
For starters it has a tendency to paint itself into a corner on ENOSPC situations. You won't even be able to perform a restore if a backup was started but unfinished because it ran out of space. There's this process of "regressing" the repo [0] which must occur before you can do practically anything after an interrupted/failed backup. What this actually must do is undo the partial forward progress, by performing what's effectively a restore of the files that got pushed into the future relative to the rest of the repository, which requires more space for any actually modified files. Unless you have/can create free space to do these things, it can become wedged... and if it's a dedicated backup system where you've intentionally filled disks up with restore points, you can find yourself having to throw out backups just to make things functional again.

That's the most obvious glaring problem, beyond that it's just kind of garbage in terms of the amount of space and time it requires to perform restores. Especially restores of files having many reverse-differential increments leading back to the desired restore point. It can require ~2X a given file's size in spare space to assemble the desired version, while it iteratively reconstructs all the intermediate versions in arriving at the desired version. Unless someone improved this since I last had to deal with it, which is possible, it's been years.

Source: Ages ago I worked for a startup[1] that shipped a backup appliance originally implemented by contractors using rdiff-backup behind the scenes. Writing a replacement that didn't suck but was compatible with rdiff-backup's repos while adding newfangled stuff like transactional backups with no need for "regress", direct read-only FUSE access of restore points without needing space, and synthetic virtual-NTFS style access for booting VMs off restore points consumed several years of my life...

There are far better options in 2024.

This is a 23-day-old flagged story. I get why you wrote all of this! I'd have bristled at that comment too. But it's a shame to be investing energy on a thread that nobody is reading (I am a weirdo and I do not count!).
I wish I was European, or I could move there, but the most likely route would probably be committing some crime in the states and then seeking asylum unfortunately
portland has a similar issue, [Portlandia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portlandia_(statue)), where the city commissioned it, $300+ thousand was paid to the artist, but he maintained the copyright, so no photos of it can be sold.

the statue is a reinterpretation of an existing city seal, but wants to keep its "uniqueness" by not allowing any other reinterpretations of it (nee laurelwood brewing creating a likeness of it (an illustration) for their beer cans).
Better comparison with WhatsApp instead of ancient text editor would be Telegram app [1] built with Swift and C/C++, given hypertext and rich media that is modern messaging app like Telegram, it is resembles more a subset of web browser functionality rather than text editor, so binaries for this around 235 MB in size.

Yeah! I also feel the same.
There wasn’t really anything beyond lack of will that stopped companies from hooking up existing chatbots to backend functions so they could accomplish the most basic support tasks beyond searching a knowledgebase, so I’m not sure there’s a strong case that they will now, just because the language models are more powerful.

If anything it’s a bigger risk to the company–an LLM with broad access to genuinely useful account management tools could easily be manipulated into doing things it shouldn’t, so it would have to be implemented very carefully.
Why PlainDate instead of LocalDate et cetera? This is already copying the successful java.time API, there's no value in renaming the types to something less precise.

If you're still in the "millions of documents" scale range, then PostgreSQL on a beefy EPYC can probably handle everything fast enough so that it doesn't make sense to spend engineering time on using a vector db which would only shave off a few ms in latency.
As professionals they should be shooting at 29.976 fps if that is the fps the end product is supposed to be. Messing up and using the wrong framerate when recording is for amateurs.
Hah. I'm one of those who's allergic to all debt. What I've observed around me is that second- and third-generations almost inevitably slide into financial degeneracy and lose their wealth, because they don't have the habits you're talking about. "A penny saved is a penny earned" is something you can only really grok if you had to earn pennies. Even if that is a psychological kink... it's the kink that generates fortunes, rather than dissolving them.

I would, I’d even take the seat next to the plug. Probably wouldn’t put my kid next to it though.
It would be great if there was an open CHM-like format that was supported by all major browsers. The nice thing about browsers is that everyone already got one installed. They can even open PDFs natively these days. Sadly, they cannot even open epubs (which is almost like CHM without interactivity). I believe firefox used to be able to open epubs, not sure what happened.
I believe you've reached peak anything when it's been incorporated into PostgreSQL.
For me is mystery, how happen with Musk, so long time still have L2 ADAS which is not AUTONOMOUS DRIVING juridically?

And car companies sure very critical for such things.
What effect size are you talking about? The heritability effect size? What is the "effect size" of a simple ratio of genetic variance to trait variance? What confounding effect do you think I'm suggesting to you?
I agree. Honestly even the fundamentals of vector databases aren't really "solved" in the way they are for other databases. Vector indexing, embedding generation, horizontal scaling, etc. can probably still improve a lot. And don't forget, even if Postgres and MySQL are the only traditional databases in town, every tech company had their own SQL database once. Many of them are still around too. No need to get pissy about these companies.
By my logic, TV manufacturers can also charge TV app developers for the use of their IP if they so desire, yes.

I don’t see how that’s nonsense or hogwash. It’s a very basic concept since the dawn of men.
You want to use or own something I own or made, then I can ask you to pay for it.

In this instance it’s the frameworks and SDKs that were made and that others want to use.

In a similar fashion, they already extract payment in exchange for them featuring whatever app has decided to pay for that privilege.
Don’t see how that’s somehow morally better, nor do I see a legal hurdle.
Truly barbaric, even without the earlier failed attempt. If this wasn't cruel and unusual punishment I'm struggling to know what is.

The reason I mentioned the Romans is, of course, because Latin comes from them. And so how they viewed competition is likely to be reflected in the word, as they coined it, or at least the word that would end up being used through the ages. It's actually why I bothered to look it up, because it didn't really jive with what one thinks of when you think of the Romans and competition - a militaristic empire that would host competitions, to the death, for entertainment and sport. Not entirely far removed from how even their aristocracy competed with one another. By contrast the other meanings of petere most certainly do!

On Magnus - there's a huge chess subculture, so it's hard to reference any given thing. I might start with this [1]. He's giving every single reason for why he might decline in the future, which I think terrifies him. Chess players tend to peak in their 30s and he's now 33, his peak rating was in 2014. It's quite unpleasant to imagine that you'll not only never be as strong as you once were, but that you will start to see your strength all so gradually decline, year by year.

So amongst his million preemptive excuses, you also have him somewhat rewriting history now claiming his "2 down, 5 to go" comment was "just trolling." He made that comment after his second world championship victory, which was extremely convincing - as it was against the previous generation of players. For some context, no chess world champion has ever won/defended their title more than 6 times. The most dominant champions ever, Lasker/Karpov/Kasparov all won/defended 6 times a piece. Magnus, it seems, will go down with 5.

Honestly, it sounds like what you’re saying boils down to claiming it’s just too complicated for there to be an underlying logic.
Oh no! So sad. They have such great deep platform offerings. One would hope they'd be doing well!

The civilizational challenge of equipping ourselves well to make great systems has so many brilliant ideas & such an idle slow unresponsive market, for something that could not be more important to the world, that shapes every level of our organizations, that frames & connects them.

On Android system apps have permissions that user applications cannot have, this is easy to enforce by the OS, same thing for iOS, if Apple does not allow user apps to have a certain permission it would be just disable from the sandbox environment, it's not the store approval process that disallow user apps to became system apps or that would be hilarious honestly, at that point why even jailbreak the device.

Also I don't know what you mean by bogus entitlements, if it's not meant to be used by user apps than it wouldn't be available to user apps, if the app needs to have access to a certain feature that required a permission, it would need to ask gently the OS and the OS would need to approve it (maybe even after asking the user), or the app would not simply to be able to access it, so it's in the app's interest to have the permissions laid out correctly so that the OS knows. From the previous message you seem to believe that the app could just simply bypass the dialog asking the user for permission.
It's quite alarmist to suggest altered images the most popular woman in the world are classified as "revenge porn."

People in popular culture have been used by artists to their liking since the beginning of art. Don't compare this to someone posting naked pictures of an ex who has a completely private life and doesn't spend their entire being trying to be in front of every camera possible, usually in outfits that make it quite easy for the imagination to extrapolate into the pornographic.

They indeed do not have good writers.
I disagree, if anything, the Wright brothers’ documented first powered flight and desperate effort to control the technology and historical narrative have caused other contributors to continue to go unrecognized in important mainstream media like this.

If it was the scientific effort of humanity as a whole, then it seems like the director would have simply compared it to the profound effort toward manned flight.

If this image results in her making lots of money, then she profited off of it, even if she didn't exactly reproduce it.

Imagine a tattoo artist creating a tattoo, and then another artist makes a bundle by stealing the first artist's design. That's what copyright is there to protect.

Just like she deserves to make money by creating art, so does the photographer. Can't have it both ways.
Ah yeah, there's a great wikipedia article that shows which common vegetables and fruits originated in which parts of the world before the Columbian exchange. Really makes you think that Italian food once had no tomatoes. And Irish and Eastern European food had no potatoes. [1]

They could black it out, or put an alternative image over it. This is common practice when someone has a tattoo they don't want, or can't keep.
that's not a citation. It's an article, written without scientific peer review, that is an opinion of the author.
Re-read it. I'm measuring the amount of work by the amount of money. Total GDP = total work. 10% of GDP = 10% of total work. GDP is a decent proxy for total work... Add reading comprehension 101 to econ 101 and then it will compute.
read what i wrote. i put in a wire for 5k and have 2 choices. do nothing and the wire is blocked. waste 15 min on the phone and it goes through. it has nothing to do with the cost of the wire.

i bill around $400 per hour. so 15 min is $100. let’s say this happens a few times per week so that is about $1000 per month. if we are talking about product sales it could be 10s of thousands of $.
it is not about the cost of the wire.

These are great tips for load testing any web service. Don't forget that you can also saturate memory, disk or network too, so watch those graphs too. I've seen load tests unable to saturate CPU because another resource was limited.

Also don't forget that you are load testing all the dependencies of your service. Database, caching tier, external services, etc. Make sure other teams are aware!

Also nothing beats real world traffic. Users' connections will stay open longer than a synthetic tool may hold them open due to bandwidth, they make very random, sporadic requests too. Your service will behave very differently under large amounts of real world traffic vs synthetic.

Other options if you are running multiple web servers is to shift traffic around to increase traffic to 1 host and see where it fails. That is usually a very reliable signal for peak load.

And don't forget to do this on a schedule as your codebase (and your dependencies codebases) changes!
As a result of the way water rights work in most areas, this is likely not true. You aren't allowed to use the water even if it runs right through your property if you don't have water rights.

You could maybe import water through trucks or trains or something from somewhere else, but the costs for that would be brutal. Then the incumbent can bankrupt you instantly by undercutting your price, and then hike it back up as soon as you're gone. The Robber Barons in the 19th century used this very tactic frequently in anti-trust situations to hamper competition

As a fun anecdote this is one of the very few things that was completely faked in "The Martian" - book and movie alike, which is otherwise a hard sci-fi book. I think it's quite telling when your instigator for a disaster scenario on Mars has to be faked!

Well at least intentionally faked. It turns out Martian regolith/soil is also much more moist than expected so getting water will be relatively easy, but at the time of the book this wasn't known!
