I am hopefully many years away from any such effort :)

But there are still things one can to do prepare, such as:

- cleanly separate as much of your state logic as possible into something like redux which isn't tied to react and can be used in many alternatives (svelte, solid, etc), which _increases_ but does not _guarantee_ that that logic will be reusable.

- choose ui component libraries that have implementations on top of multiple libraries. Many react apps today are built using mui, and there are similar (though less powerful) implementations of the underlying design system (material _design_, as opposed to material _ui_) for other frameworks. This at least cuts down on design work/decisions. If your webapp is going to (presumably easily) look the same before/after, you don't have to have a ton of design meetings to decide how different is too different. Notably this is the reason why I wanted to move from react-vis to echarts at my job: it was possible to transition with very little visual difference.

- Separate your data fetching logic out of react components. Implement a library for fetching data for your api, then implement a set of very light hooks/wrappers around that library, and then use those hooks/wrappers in your components. (note: this suggestion may be indistinguishable from 1) if fetching is very tightly tied to your store).

That may seem like a lot to do, but I think 1/3 at least are good ideas even if you plan on being on react for _forever_.

Most of what I wrote is based on preparing something like an SPA, and I'd imagine the considerations are very different from something that uses SSR. I'm personally not a fan of SSR, or at least the space I want to work in doesn't see any benefits from SSR, so that's not something I think about.
There's softblock and hardblock, rfkill shouldn't be able to unblock hardblocks. "unblock all" just attempts to soft unblock all devices. Maybe it could also operate some special software operable hardblock hardware but that doesn't count.

Also/IIRC, the old webcam issue was some cameras had ~1s delay between first image to LED on, and zero for last frame to LED off, so initialization or configuration change commands could be mashed to allow LED to light in user unhelpful ways: e.g. only lit for imperceptible length of time or intermittently lit as shown. Apple and few other vendors modified this behavior as well as added a minimum LED on duration while after this went on media. It's still "controlled by software", sure, not like tapped off of CMOS imager power supply, but not like implemented in /lib/modules/webcam_comforting_led.so.1, either.
You normally count per person not per n amount of people.
Common Internet discourse is often pure emotion to the point where the author doesn't even agree with it in person. With all the beauty that being connected has given us, we're about to see what the consequence of all of this is.
My issue is games are going all of the above and they are not any more fun than the older ones. No new gameplay features that require the above either. What about the graphics? None of this requires you to ship incomplete and out of date products to the customer. People talk like this type of behavior is necessary and required to ship a game.
Sounds like Apple is building this (in time) and simply putting out pithy statements so the ilk of Tim and his "omg, why don't you let us have you built for free crowd!!11!!111!!1!!" can all pile on and reveal their hand.
Let's say I want to make a little dashboard for a home server that I can view on my iPhone in full screen. If I live in the EU, how am I supposed to add it to my home screen?

I can't put it on the App Store even if I wanted to - it's for a local server so it won't pass review.

I can't just use a local debug build - those expire after a week or so.

What can I even do here?
People are often right for wrong reasons. Telling they are right there doesn’t imply we are on their team (although such accusations are far too common).
Does Apple think its shenanigans are going to precipitate a backlash against EU regulation?

Because every time I read about a new round of BS my blood boils and my attitude against Apple and other huge anticompetitive corporates just hardens.
The PWA was all but ready to compete directly with apps and in a decentralized way. The world was excited with Apple finally supporting web push notifications.

Apple ended this excitement recently with this news.

Tis a sad day for decentralization and the un censorship of mobile.
I don't see what's so problematic with it. I doubt the model is actually confusing trees and branches with birds. It has associations, but humans do too. If I ask a human to draw a demon, the background would not be an office?

Also the complain about 'made of' not being in the training data. Humans who never saw a bird can not draw a bird. Why is that saying something about the model?

I'm not saying that diffusion models act like humans. And I was talking specifically about image generation. My usage of the word understanding is in the task of image generation. I'm not even talking about 'made of', or 'birds'. Just 'cats' and 'hats'. If it can understand 1 thing, it can understand others, but they are not always in the training data.

This is all a non-problem. It kinda remind me of the discussion of what constitutes a 'male', or 'female'. All i want is to refer this one property that i observe in diffusion models. Which is what language is, reference. If you are so covetous of the word 'understand', then provide an alternative to refer to this property and i will gladly use it.

People like to do more things than take the train back and forth. I’ve spent a lot of time in the UK and I’ve had to use a car to go to most places outside of commuting to and within the city. In the USA there’s even more to do and see that requires a car.
How can we disagree on facts? There are no billionaires just sitting on billions. They are in circulation.
My apologies, that came off a bit harsh.

> Was it specific services within GitHub that failed a lot?

Well, everything from its frontends, to the CI service, to the Git service itself. People weren't able to push, pull, deploy or review code for hours at a time. Just major disruptions all around, which happened regularly.

I do think this has improved slightly over the past few months, but you were lucky if you weren't affected much.
> Once someone is reported to be in the water, invariably they must wait for the body to pop up.

Not quite invariably. The river police do rescue people who find themselves in the Thames. A couple of years ago I was walking between Southwark Bridge and Cannon Street Railway Bridge in the early evening when I noticed a group of people pointing towards something bobbing up and down in the middle of the river, in very turbulent conditions. It was someone who had fallen in. The river police arrived less than a minute or so later to rescue him. We walked down to the Bankside riverboat stop where the police dropped him off, conscious, and there was a waiting ambulance. I remember overhearing the police saying he had no idea how he fell in. I’d guess he was very lucky indeed and owed his life to the swift response of the police and whoever reported it.
Only the executives. The lower down managers are focused more on screwing the employees.
I wish all of these folks complaining about Apple would go on strike and stop developing stuff on their hardware instead of whining. Even better if they could make their own hardware without any of the supposed baggage with the software. A lot of these companies whining are worth billions so they can afford it.

Of course, they won’t because they want money just like Apple, but if Spotify, epic etc stopped working on iOS devices Apple would consider changing their behavior.
It makes me sad to think that some people don't make the difference between life ("nature") and some kind of interpolation of data (as impressive as it may be).

Maybe that's why we are destroying the biodiversity and most tech people seem to love it!
It's not a conspiracy theory, i'm not quite sure even how that term could possibly apply -- since this describes the ordinary practice of politics.

The modern republican party does not support anti-trust enforcement, or indeed, most executive enforcement of anti-corporate regulations. So when they are in office, there isnt any.

There's been some increasing bipartisan support for anti-tech anti-trust because republicans perceive them to be (largely accurately) biased towards the cultural left.
Just because I have a car doesn’t mean I intend to drive it in the city. There’s a whole world out there and a lot to do that requires a car. So if I live by a train that’s good for commuting to the city I’m now stuck only doing that? What about the many things I do that have nothing to do with that?

Open it up in safari and forgo full screen - add a header so you can scroll slightly and it’s 98% full screen.

The real solution is to stop using Apple products and use android which can do what you’re asking trivially.
As much as I would love to agree, the general population really does not care about features like "home screen web apps". Nobody outside of HN even knows what they are.

Everyone just goes on the app store and downloads random website app. Even if it is just a browser app that renders a website.

Apple would have to eliminate something that people actually care about for any boycott Apple to happen.
I better like the marketplace analogy: If I go into a marketplace, I can be told by merchants that we can make cheaper deals outside of the confines of a marketplace.

If you want to stick to the "store" analogy, they Apple also needs to handle support, return cases and a lot more financial risk – A store stocks their own inventories and does not just facilitate transactions between two parties.

The fact is that Apple store is not a store, it is a marketplace. And on a marketplace you can not censor people as easily.

I really enjoyed "The Calculating Stars". As did apparently many other people.

It's totally normal to dislike some winners, I certainly don't like them all. But that doesn't mean quality is down - it's a matter of taste, after all.
Yeah. MS was a completely different situation. They had something like 90%+ OS marketshare and were able to use the threat of cutting off a PC makers access to Windows in order to force them to use IE. Tbh, the case is more relatable to the case Google just lost than to Apple. In that case, Google cut secret deals to exclude phone manufactures from including other stores.
> Now, web apps will function as website bookmarks — without support for local storage, badges, notifications and dedicated windowing.

This one is essential, at least to me. Access from the home screen is not completely blocked. I can do without notifications and local storage for my simple web apps.

A lot of other people do need 'progressive' web apps, so I understand these changes are especially nasty to them.

It's crystal clear this is just a d!ck move from Apple, so I guess it's time we need different hardware in our pockets to support fair and friendly software.
You can do what I did... disable sign-ups after releasing to the app store. It's private to you, but they'll never know that.
You’re out of luck.

PWAs are perfect for private and internal apps. In Europe, apparently quite a few healthcare providers are using PWAs to deliver patient care. Apple will be breaking those apps and destroying the stored user data without notice.
Old London Bridge
At least before 2023, one could argue Spotify were paying 15% of their revenue to Apple on iOS hence they pay less to artist. Not too sure about 2024
In the article, it says that Spotify filed the complained in 2019 and these big cases can take a long time. There's no big consipiracy theory, I'm sorry!

> BTW, the EU has been quasi irrelevant in realpolitik terms.

What?
> Within Apple’s explanation of why it has ended support for web apps in the EU, the company admits there’s a technical solution to the security issues problem — but it simply chose not to implement it.

I think this is called malicious compliance. I hope the EU slaps Apple with severe penalties.
LeCun is the voice of reason trying to point out the limitations of the current technology and fundamental questions that need to be answered.

I think this is the more likely true, but less popular take as well.

> big-tech abusing their market position as gatekeepers

No no, you see, that is called “innovation”. And whenever the EU does anything to try to curtail those abuses of power, what they are doing is stifling innovation. Because as we all know, the one thing that matters in life is growth growth growth, particularly company growth, and there’s nothing more innovative than coming up with ways to exploit people’s privacy and attention for profit. And if you can get the ones exploited to rally in your favour, you’ve hit the jackpot. All hail corporate America, let’s raise a glass to the obscenely rich getting richer at the expense of everyone else, that is working out great.

I'm currently migrating from echarts to D3. Once you get to rather complex charts the bugs show themselves. Sometimes you need the control that a low level library gives you.

Echarts works perfectly fine with responsive sizing but the developer does have to use it properly.
That's because... everything was made from de beginning to push people to go to the App Store.
Many apps do that, it allows the app to stay connected which (perhaps counter-intuitively) is more efficient for realtime apps. It's entirely optional though, and even if the app has such a notification it can be hidden. On some ROMs however, even the notification does not suffice and the app gets killed anyway. Thanks to push notifications, it still works.

In any case, this is the choice of a specific implementation, and not something inherent to XMPP. Your original comment said that integration with Firebase was needed, and I wanted to point out that it is already integrated.

More on the app-killing ROMs can be found at https://dontkillmyapp.com
Someone might even know some unencrypted platform called as GitHub.
Thanks for the insight! I had no idea some enjoyed so much autonomy, or that something other than the democratically elected government arranged for courts to exist in some regions. If I ever visit the USA, this sounds like they'll be some of the culturally most interesting places to include in the trip. Odd that I had never heard of this before. (That native Americans exist, sure, and the word reservation I've heard as well but that honestly sounds more like zoo than like state. Probably I should have looked into what this means sooner!)
How much power goes to blinking the cursor in VS code? And how it compares to other functionally similar editors.
Life is a lot more than cities and traveling between them. The USA has a vast array of things not in it even close to cities. The USA is vast and beautiful and many people like to explore our nature, parks, etc, etc.

The Bloomberg story referenced in your [0] was refuted by pretty much everyone and independently confirmed by no one. See [1]. It was not retracted by the authors but the consensus seems to be it is intelligent speculation rather than confirmed fact. In particular the quote you pulled seems like a garbled and further exaggerated secondary source based on the unvalidated Bloomber article. Note the incorrect technical word usage ("encrypted" is not a correct verb to describe how a chip could be integrated into a motherboard design) and the implausible scope of the allegations (sending literally all data inputted to the laptop to China would be a large obvious datastream that would be quickly noticed and independently confirmed, which has not happened).

I know plenty of people in Apple CS.

Most of them are loyal to apple, and have worked there long term.

Apple takes good care of its "regular people" in the states.
> Now, web apps will function as website bookmarks — without support for local storage, badges, notifications and dedicated windowing.

If you need notifications and the like, then you're out of luck I guess. If you don't, just add it to the home screen (it's nothing more than a link to a webpage anyway).

Someone is trying to leave and you try to stop them

When I read a webpage, I usually move my cursor away to not distract me. But when this “already leaving?” happens, I never bother finding the (x) button inside the page. It’s the prefect litmus test for morons with whom I don’t want anything in common.

But regarding that $subj case, it’s not that bad. A little annoyingly misleading, but I understand the direct financial interests. It’s not a shady trick or ux abuse. They could put “to remove ads go pro” there instead or a hover popup, but wouldn’t you find reading it again and again or accidentally triggering even more intrusive? I think they did the best thing here, really.
Probably because Microsoft controlled 97% market share, but Apple controls about 20%.
Recently there was a discussion[0] around the value of open source software and how much companies would have had to pay to have it developed from the ground up.

The number that was thrown around was $177M.

The issue as I understand it is that Apple uses its dominance in hardware to direct users to its own music streaming service at the expense of a competing service. Your analogy does not fit.
I switched to Nix on Mac. If dev dependencies are your only problem, there are many non-container solutions for that.
No, I use iOS and friends in part because I want good, well-made apps that work well and integrate into the OS well - and not poorly made webapps that don't have an address bar. To that end I dislike all the faux-native iOS apps that are just a webview with a menu. It's always quite obvious when people do that.

So even if I would've known about HSWAs being a thing (and not just "bookmarks on the home screen", which is approximately the exact same thing, but with an address bar), I wouldn't have cared to use them. Like evidently 99.99% of people.

Yes, every thread on this has one or two people saying how badly this impacts them, yet, they are always vague about what these were used for. I have yet to see a single concrete example.

To be fair, a corporation had to raise a trillion dollars of capital and build that society from scratch before anyone else even seemed interested. How it progressed from that point to "the rest of Australia signed on" is entirely hand-waved away.

Just like real life, where nobody cares about programs like this and everyone refuses to help until they're already taking off. Which may or may not ever happen.

Mercury: Council and Parliament strike a deal to phase out mercury in the EU
I like how you clip one statement without the rest. By taking my creative work and twisting it to pull out and remove it from the context from what was said you seem to be doing the exact same thing that you're losing sleepover that others might do to your work. I believe you're free to do that and free to be wrong and your assertion and twist my words but I'm also going to call you a big hypocrite.

That is the most truly telling statement because you believe you're enriching the world by attempting to not only denigrate capitalism in one sense but then hold the world hostage as an artistic capitalist in the next. Enriching the world is adding to the culture as a whole so that the culture itself can consume it and that means contributing to the public domain and not locking things under perpetual copyright.

You speak out of both sides of your mouth. You have levied personal attacks against me saying that I'm trolling and you have now engaged in hypocrisy. The only reason a person does those things is because they cannot argue the merits of their point any longer. So this will be my last response because you have effectively diverged from the core topic and cannot engage in a lively logical debate anymore. And history has proven me correct more than it has proved you correct.
Someone on here was claiming Sora understands physics, while I was watching steaming frozen snow, the lady in red skating down the street in Tokyo on wet concrete and a bunch of people having lunch next to miniature people visiting a mini market stand made from a bike.

All I can think of is where we'd be as a species now, at least technologically, If Microsoft, Apple, IBM or even Commodore and Atari had similar abilities since the 70s to restrict what kind of software developers can make and publish for their platforms...
If you’re going to use an app in Safari, I actually prefer to just restrict the thing to 100svh to force the full Safari UI to stick around. It’s distracting and disorienting to have the tab bar and address bar shrinking and growing at random while using an app, with the app UI wiggling all over the place.
