The creation of the Vision Pro, and now this direct assault on the open web, makes me believe that Apple is no longer has the vision to lead the industry effectively. It's a shame because it has enormous momentum behind it, which means every bad decision, like this one, will be felt be millions of people for years.
It seems it is not the default for Raspbian.
We’re going to be officially moving to Agile! Soon.

By which I mean the project planning committee has created a multi-hundred page document with precise BPM-style workflow charts (based on Jira, obviously), and non-technical managers have started being sent on multi-day training courses to learn how to follow them.

It’s going to be a shitshow!
Better manufacturers do give you a TBW endurance rating, and document what type of flash is being used (SLC, MLC, etc.).

I used one of these Micron cards in my RPi4, it has high write endurance and also an A2 performance rating so it can support the IOPS needs of a boot drive.

1) Come to work.

2) Look at the current state.

3) Decide what the product needs from you.

4) Do that.

5) Use git.

Steps 2 and 3 may involve communication. Step 5 is tracking changes. Have a PM that tracks main things people are working on and estimated dates (not dictated dates).

This is how my current job works and we are unbelievably productive.

I really hope they do, but I'd hate to lose him as a colleague. Unfortunately it's likely to be one or the other.

Or maybe you lack perspective, because maybe some people use it in your circle, but otherwise it’s very unpopular?

Observational fallacies work both ways.
If Apple isn't working on a LLM Siri remake since December 2022 I'd be very, very surprised. Ditto for Amazon and Alexa, there's some public information at https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/alexa/alexa-ai but hope it isn't all they're working on.
The tension between, and variation of, predictable and surprising elements in music are clearly important to it's enjoyability.

But to reduce the pleasure of listening to or playing music to "music is easy to predict therefore it feels good" seems overly simplistic.

Maybe you didn't intend to make that reduction, but your comment comes off that way, to me at least.
Something I’ve noticed in the company I work for is that team leads which still write code is that they will take for themselves the high visibility projects.
Any chance we can get the original title which doesn't sound so childish:

It’s Official, Apple Kills Web Apps in the EU

And if PWA were such a threat to Apple's business then why are they allowed in US.
This is correct. I am from the Philippines, we have only two types of seasons, sunny and rainy.

But we also have several wind farms operating since early 2000s.
Anyone care to summarise the back story to this?

Originally there wasn’t an SDK at all.
You are right. I was sure that something like this cannot happen and I was a bit in shock, I must admit. Web apps on macOS and on every other OS using modern web standards, it seemed the final step to allow alternative web engines on iOS. I mean the arguments of Apple are so weak. But I understand now that the existance of the DMA is not enough and Apple must be forced along the way. Just sad.
One amusing way I've found to diffuse a little bit of the useless anger, a la
> yelling profanities at the guy who cut us off in traffic

A friend of mine says he just pulls an index finger and mutters under his breath "red turtle," but even then he felt a little bad for envisioning knocking the car off the road, so I invented the purple turtle.

The purple turtle does not blow the offender up. It does not knock the car off the road. It merely teleports car and driver safely to a drive-in movie theater playing the relevant section of driver's education, and they have to sit there in timeout until they understand why what they just did was dangerous and/or stupid. It even has a sound effect.

So now I just make the sound effect, as loudly as I can when I'm by myself, because it's a silly noise and hard to make loudly without laughing, and it helps relieve the tension!

This is criminal. After decades I finally had the ability to develop for iOS without a Mac and a yearly $99 fee - only for it to be crippled again?
This article was fun, and I enjoyed it.

Unfortunately (through no fault of the author's own) this dovetails with incel doctrine which tends to state that the dating game is unfairly rigged because only the top N% of men (in terms of body, income, whatever) have any chance whatsoever with women.
well I let's say you want to make the coffee and we split that task into roughly two subtasks. The first is to imagine what motions are necessary to do that. How does the coffee cup have to move, how does your hand have to move to grasp it, etc. The second part is to find a way to use your muscles or actuators to execute those imagined actions.

I claim that the first part is the more difficult one and where we have the bottleneck currently. Furthermore, generative video AI is exactly the kind of thing that would give a model an understanding of what kinds of things have to happen in order to make coffee.
We agree that this is an engineering failure - you can't deploy an LLM like this without guardrails.

This is also a management failure in badly evaluating and managing the risks of a new technology.

We disagree in that I don't think that its behaviour being hard to predict is on purpose: we have a new technology that shows great promise as tool to work with language input and outputs. People are trying to use LLMs as general purpose language processing machines - in this case as chat agents.

I'm reacting to your comment specifically because I think you are evaluating LLMs using a mental model derived from normal software failures and LLMs or ML models in general are different enough to make that model ineffective.

I almost fully agree with your last comment, but the

> they decided to tell a computer to follow that unpredictable instruction set

reflects what I think is now an unfruitful model.

Before deploying a model like this you need safeguards in place to contain the unpredictability. Steps like the following would have been options:

* Fine-tuning the model to be more robust over their expected input domain,

* Using some RAG scheme to ground the outputs over some set of ground truths,

* Using more models to evaluate the output for deviations,

* Business processes to deal with evaluations and exceptions,
Etc
It may seem like overkill, but I learnt how to use ansible to manage the software on my pi. I've actually just upgraded my rpi4 to use an ssd so am choosing to start from scratch. I'm hoping my ansible playbooks are written well.
It’s an interesting bias, that people use consumer facing European tech products and don’t even know it.

Just have a look:
https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/C4E12AQFqW-dnIUTj2w/articl...

Majority of educational software is European. That list above is missing Duolingo. A giant undoubtedly. Hey, did you know Gitlab was European, too? Or Skype? Or Waze? Or Booking.com? Or Skyscanner? Or even flightradar?

PS. I didn’t limit this to EU only.
Amen!

Exact same kodi-setup and sandisk cards, and has been happily running for years without problems. Disable all logs, media on smb/nfs, and off you go.

IIRC In the EU apple may be forced to open up iOS to other browsers, including PWA using non-safari engines.

Not sure why this is such a threat.

I’m torn on this whole issue. I both enjoy my walled garden and want full-fat Firefox on iOS.
> Installs of apps that throw up all over the disk

This seems like a norm for most operating systems. Linux mixes files from all sorts of apps all over the place, for example, and a `make install` might put files anywhere.

In very few cases are you talking about a system as inefficient as funding R & D.

It is not really an open market with competition: the government creates incentives, and only a faction of the increased cost to buyers goes into what the incentives are supposed to support.

Any useful information from price signals is lost too amid bad incentives: https://pietersz.co.uk/2007/01/pharmaceutical-incentives-dev...
The article indicates that you might have to react sooner, for them to stop sooner.

I remember when I was younger, and I did that, but because I was their third child they were kind of already annoyed, so my parents' reaction was immediate and usually quite shouty.

I do find it adorable seeing these juveniles annoy the elderly.
Because... != emacs?
I agree with all of this except for your bafflement. Justice doesn’t always prevail and Apple’s legal gambit might work.

Remember how Microsoft got in legal trouble for bundling software in the 90s? A judge ruled that Microsoft had to be broken up for their monopolistic and anticompetitive practices. And today Microsoft has leveraged the popularity of Excel and Powerpoint to get every business to use Teams and the rest of the suite.

Sometimes big business can just defy the courts and get away with it.
You're missing the point - importing a module in other languages takes ~100x fewer system calls. It's a rare example of Python doing something that's mostly written in pure Python, rather than invoked via an FFI, and it shows some of the inefficiency of the language laid bare. That makes it an interesting case to study.

(Of course an import call in Python does a lot more, but the end result is roughly the same as calling `dlopen` in, e.g., Swift.)
If you’re keyword foraging, the term for this is ‘agrovoltaics’
The /r/unixporn is a really weird place, in this case it's XFCE, so I feel like it makes more sense, but the most riced up desktops people post are always Sway, i3, dwm and similar. They are minimalist window managers, yet people go out of their way to customize them.
> It’s telling that this is the feature that Apple refused to share. And it makes sense: the idea that users could install safe and secure apps that Apple can’t tax, block or control is terrifying to them.

I think that’s what this decision is all about. When Safari was the only browser engine on iOS, PWAs didn’t threaten the App Store because Safari delivers a degraded experience with them.

With alternative browser engines mandated by law, Apple faced the possibility that Chrome or Firefox might make PWAs easy to discover, easy to install, and feature-complete. They might have begun to see serious adoption and investment. I think Apple did not want to risk letting that happen.

Cordova, React Native, Xamarin, Flutter etc.

Seems like the only thing criminal here is your inability to use Google.
Some commands are used so often that it makes sense to further shorten them by placing them in `.bash_aliases` or a similar file for your favorite shell:

```

alias gl='git log'

alias gd='git diff --color-words'

alias ga='git add'

alias gc='git commit'

I think all the usual desktop distros don't use tmpfs for either by default. I don't see the benefit in this with modern hardware.
Did anyone actually ever put web apps on their home screen?
Good point on the control over your promotions, it's something I experienced when moving into an EM role. Banging my head until hitting an actual growth team.

I come from Russia, we're not exactly known for great people management, and I'd say management up to department head is expected to handle the tech part as well even in larger companies such as Yandex / VK. This fits your definition of normal companies perfectly.

When you have a tiny market share, argue for open standards. When you gain the majority, close the gates and pull up the ladder. Oldest playbook in tech. We've particularly seen it many many times with chat platforms.
Apple not allowing the open web stifles innovation, including the AVP. The apps in the app store will be dictated by Apple. So whatever their ethical framework is, that is what will receive innovation.

While that seems fair, the problem is that the strongest form of software innovation I have seen is where developers can freely plug in.
Wait till you find out where Apple makes >50% of its revenue ;)
Wish there was a counter, something to tell you "this is puzzle #N". Also, it would be good to know that there are only 20 from the start. "Puzzle #N/20"? Should be easy mods to make. Anyway, apart from that, oddly satisfying to flatten those graphs!

Also - you can still move the vertices even after you achieve the flattened state. I found that usually when flatness was first reached, the graph would be kind of scrunched up. You can keep adjusting to achieve maximal symmetry if so inclined.

Another site that hijacks the back button and prevents returning (try to click Randomize).
You are right. At the very beginning, Safari was innovation and Jobs wanted the web succeed. I meant of course the period when webkit was the only browser engine allowed and Apple claimed the reason was they wanted security etc. Now it is clear that even then, the true target was web capabilities and the hindrance of them via webkit control. Now that they use iOS to disallow these modern web capabilities in competing browser engines too, they admit to their true target of the past 10 years or so too.
Like it or not, it's what current research - the science you appeal to -- appears to show. As stated here:

"...the researchers determined that the island experienced steady population growth from its initial settlement until European contact in 1722. After that date, two models show a possible population plateau, while another two models show possible decline."

and

"Current research shows that deforestation was prolonged and didn’t result in catastrophic erosion; the trees were ultimately replaced by gardens mulched with stone that increased agricultural productivity. During times of drought, the people may have relied on freshwater coastal seeps." [1]

"Evil Europeans" is your term in an attempt to make it seem as if the European culture is being attacked. There is no "modern rewriting of history according to modern sensitivities", it's rewriting of history taking into account new knowledge that Pacific peoples weren't stupid, had spread across the Pacific using navigation methods unknown to Europeans for thousands of years and recognising the effects of the introduction of outside cultures - disease, slavery and theft.

It's unfortunate that the whole discourse is about one of the worst imaginable outcomes: replacing apps with shitty slow bloated underperforming web apps.

That is, the discourse is valid, and Apple is to blame. But why did it have to be around PWAs of all things?
I am urging everyone who wants to do this to see if they can't first do what they need with a small board like an ESP32. Their energy usage is a small fraction, they cost ones of dollars, and they're sufficient for a whole lot. If you're of the Python persuasion, many boards support both MicroPython and CircuitPython.

It's worth looking into for the cost savings on initial purchase and ongoing power draw.
Oh that makes sense, I always repost flagged comments since flagging is abused so often that it has become a joke.

No actual moderator has ever complained of it with me, so that means it's just groups of highly biased users who can't stand what I have to say.
I wonder if Raspberry OS comes configured not to swap on the SD by default …
Technically, Lander was written for the ARM1, as it originated on an Acorn ARM Evaluation System. As a result there are no MUL instructions in Lander, as they only got added in the ARM2.

That makes Lander first ever ARM game, and probably the only game ever written for the ARM1.
Apple is a 3 trillion business that is out of growth drivers. They will need to squeeze more money out of everybody in the ecosystem to appease wall street. Or launch a new 500bn product line but I don’t think they have anything big in the pipeline.
spending 10s of billions of R&D towards a closed off walled garden for consuming Apple services.

> My only dispute with your text is that we definitely have the ability to get our shit together financially in the US. The opposition is purely ideological. “We can’t” becomes “we don’t try” becomes “we can’t”.

One the one hand yes. On the other that is true of all countries, and most of them are basket cases when it comes to financial governance and they aren't in any position to be putting their finger on the scales in wars half a world away. The US just doesn't have a resource surplus and it is in question whether they can sustain their interventionist foreign policy without first sitting down and getting the house in order.

Where are the resources going to come from? Going back to the thread root, that is the core of the right wing backlash that is brewing on this topic. All this stuff going to Ukraine to get blown up could be going to the US to make life better for people.
I'm still running Kodi on a pi1 approaching 10 years of runtime on the original SD card. It's powered on most of the time but sometimes I accidentally power of the USB power supply it's connected to. It's a little 5-port one that's about just as old with a power button that's easy to press accidentally in my specific setup.
So supposedly a radio tower was stolen, causing a sister station to have to shut down as well

But this link suggests maybe the tower's been missing for some time
I was thinking that it might be possible to mount the battery to the back of the headset, like you see on various other headsets, which might counterbalance it. But because so many keep talking about how heavy the headset already is, I think this might introduce new issues, especially if you turn your head quickly.
The AVP is one of the most out of touch products I've ever seen from a respected brand, and I can almost hear Steve Job's scathing criticisms of it, based on everything I know about him. Not to mention, it goes against the increasing trend of less screens and less tech. The fact that it got made and is being pushed so hard as the next step in computing, is bonkers.

So to me, it contributes because it is another data point that the leadership has compromised its ability to consistently make forward thinking decisions.
I don't get what you mean here. Same technique as in loading the website? If there's money to be made, you have so many more options including paying people to register real accounts. Nitter does not have the same available motivation / resources as people who run serious scams.
I think it's a bit of a stretch to call a web app "develop[ed] for iOS"

The whole point of the web is that it is cross platform. That isn't a negative thing it's a positive, but calling it "develop for iOS" is arguably disingenuous.
No indication that this a MoE (Mistral not Mixtral).

It’s the old typical corporate mindset, “work hard and play hard, son!!”, “fast paced work environment!!”, among others, through years and years of brainwashing, they make it not just normal but a sign of success that you woke up at 5 AM and grind like a rat for the corpo till it’s 7pm and by that time you don’t have energy for anything, devoting your life, family, relationships, youth, and everything about you so that the corporate gets bigger and better, gaslit a whole generation that the only family you need and relationship you want is by and through the work, and the more hours your put the more successful person you are.. a “family” that will have no issue to replace you in a week, and see no problem not to mandate a paid vacation for its “family members”, which is something you can sense in the old generation, their lives are about work, they have nothing outside of it and thus they find it hard to retire, and hard to comprehend that you can do work from home.
