My experience with FFMPEG is that it’s usually not directly distributed for probably those reasons. The only times I remember getting it directly with software, was for GPL software.
One could probably build a MVP for this by using tree-sitter parsing, re-injecting identifiers if that is wanted, and then commiting the results to git via a commit hook.

At what point should a private company be compelled to develop or expose APIs because you want to tinker around with their system?

So that once it breaks you can just restore the disk image from when it worked.
You cannot buy privacy with a credit card. You tie your identity to an account when you pay for it.

Ads are orthogonal to privacy. We've had privacy-preserving ads in physical newspapers for hundreds of years.

There is no reasonable way for a normal person to consistently choose privacy these days.
It's not very surprising to find math in Perec's work, he deliberately put it there.

Very sad tbh. Was a good tool overall. Are they going to opensource it later on?
The US need a GDPR equivalent. Badly. The whole world would benefit from it.
Yeah pretty much that. They usually have the same amount of performance cores but there are more efficient cores and hence threads and on top of that they run on higher frequency too

i7-14700K: 20 cores (8 performance, 12 efficient) 28 threads 5.6 Ghz

i9-14900K: 24 cores (8 performance, 16 efficient) 32 threads 6 Ghz

It's like ~10% performance difference
My favorite bit is their key highlighted argument that their anti-competitive behavior has been ineffective, therefore it's not anti-competitive.

Apple forgot to mention that one of the main reasons for the high fine is them having made false statements during the case.

You have that option, just buy another phone. Because there is no monopoly. Likewise if you want to install a non-Apple OS, there are thousands of different non-Apple models available for purchase.

Apple offers security and convenience on their devices, which is why many people like them. Windows offers no security but some convenience, Linux offers security and no convenience.

Like I said in another comment, if Spotify is not happy with Apple they can manufacture their own device and sell to consumers. People buy and use Apple devices of their own free will, and developers develop for their devices of their own free will as well. And there is plenty of competition in the market.
I've not visited BP, I've been in the vicinity but otherwise engaged and don't live in the UK.

I did interview Bill Tutte in Canada in the 1980s when I was passing through though. I was getting a lot of referrals from my mentors when I was doing some work on the early Cayley, now Magma system in Australia.
Yeah I know, and it should be the only option for open-source projects.

The rest is just bringing politics where it doesn't belong.
And they aren't even allowed to only charge Apple Users 30% more
Would you give them a gun or a knife? Do you think no one should be allowed to own a gun or a knife?
A monopoly can be so many things that the question needs to be "is it causing harm?"

For example, a trademark or a copyright or a patent is a monopoly on the use of that IP, and those are considered "good" by the governments and courts.

In my (IANAL) opinion, I think the important question for a mobile app store needs to be: do users and developers have a meaningful choice between iOS, Android, and just a website?

I really don't know the answer to that, though I expect the market share plays a part in it — if iOS was 10% or 90%, then developers surely would not have any meaningful choice.
The EU would surely fine them for that too.
You could, and any other music service could compete with Spotify on pricing. The difference here is that Apple also compete with Spotify with their own music service while they also want a 30% cut on Spotifys income.
That being said, if you want to build a git 'competitor' one of these two avenues can probably offer plenty of interesting opportunities.
The way all the HF infrastructure works is very uncomfortable. Noticing a lot of slowness and many bugs around local files functionality in Diffusers, also noticing a lot of stuff that just straight hangs silently when it can’t contact HF, even in supposed offline modes.

For a long time every new feature was released in a non working state for local files, think they’re getting better with that lately but if I were a large company I wouldn’t be building on such dodgy foundations.
Who is allowing "filmmakers" to send a death squad after someone and try to request information they'll never get access to over not even actually pirating something but just talking about it?
Not that I could ever tell - I did it years ago for Waterfox but dropped it after finding no performance improvements after migrating away from Intel's C++ compiler toolchain.

LibreWolf, AFAIK, has been hyper aggressive on privacy preferences (to the detriment of a useable web sometimes) and is its USP.
> Interestingly, it’s impossible for conservatives to win the popular vote

Is that interesting? It seems akin to saying "no super bowl winners have won a soccer championship". Well duh, that's not the game they're playing. And some of those football players could probably be pretty damn competitive in soccer if they trained for it as long as they trained for football.
The analogy implies sports gambling is just to get you started, but it’s as bad as anything. Actually, sport can largely stand on it own as entertainment, so sports gambling is possibly more addictive than other forms.

The more you gamble the more the gambling companies make, so that’s all they really care about. Branching out to other forms of gambling is just a way to scoop up more money.

It’s been a huge societal mistake to make gambling widely legal. A lot of people just don’t have defenses against the addiction so it ruins a lot of lives. Meanwhile, it doesn’t add anything useful to the wider economy, so there’s no offsetting advantages like some other things. It’s just bad.

I'm repeating my comment in a sibling thread, but I think it's worth repeating (paraphrasing) -

(A) If the thing you have in mind can be inferred by looking at two commits, then you don't have to record the intention of the changes into the version control system because you can compute it later when needed.

(B) If the thing you have in mind can't be reliably inferred by looking at two commits, then you need some other way to tell the version control system about your intention.

For example, if you're just re-indenting a python source file, are you going to:

1. expect the system to automatically/heuristically realize you're just re-indenting it --> see (A)

2. explicitly tell the system that you've reindented it when making the commit --> are you sure you're bothered to do that?

3. Consistently and exclusively use a specialized IDE that records all your actions and transforms it to the corresponding intentions as recognized by the version control system?
Could be, I guess.

Still intriguing
An Acer Aspire V3 from ~2013 (my first Laptop). It also has an NVIDIA card (GTX 750M), but I can't remember having any issues with the drives, since you can just apt-get them. Even CUDA works, even though it's not really that useful on a machine like that. Upgraded the RAM to 32GB and installed an additional SSD. The Keyboard broke once and the original Battery was pretty much dead, both could be replaced for cheap. The new battery even is double the capacity and lifts the laptop up a bit which solves the airflow issue it originally had. For a 10 year old device it surely still runs great and still gets used for development when not at home.

Edit: Have been running Backtrack 5, Kali, Parrot, Pop and now Debian.
Yes, poor Apple selling their phones at cost to make money on the ecosystem like Google or Microsoft.
Oh wait
Why would having the ability to install sideloaded apps change this? Apps will not be able to just install themselves or other apps without prompting. And we've already had zero-click exploits in Safari leading to entire phone rootkitting more than once without sideloading

Really? Never had the problem, and I print up to A3, even have a A1 sized print from a D70 and a old 18-85 (?) kit Nikkor, which is sharp enough, with enough resolution, at the edges and corners.

If you take a 100% crop from a corner so, well, that is different. I'd argue so, that in this case, you should have composed your shot differently in the field. And again, you have to print huge to actually see the difference.

Apple could have an API for putting a Cancel button and other info for 3rd party subscriptions in the unified subscription screen. App Store requirement to integrate subscriptions with it would be uncontroversial, unless they also slapped a 27% because-we-can fee on that API.

Apple creates these either-or narratives that you either accept exactly what they want at their egregiously inflated price, or you will get the crappiest most inconvenient basically fraudulent alternative. As if nothing was possible in between.
> I have an entire spare computer dedicated to

Exactly my reasoning last week when I read about one more dependency attack on GitHub.

Do you have a mac? What's your setup? I need CoreML so VMs are not an option, and I'm a freelancer so I use my own MacBook for work. I have a different session for each client, but at this point I don't even know if it's useful at all. Of course I also have a personal session with banking stuff... which is what made me realise I was probably doing something dumb.
> mirrord lets developers run local code in the context of a remote Kubernetes pod. This lets them test their code in cloud conditions without going through CI and deployment. In most cases, stealing or mirroring incoming traffic from the remote pod to the local process is good enough. However, when you have applications that consume tasks and do more than react to incoming requests, the user might want to pause the remote application completely , so that it doesn’t compete with their local process for tasks.

That sounds like an audit/compliance nightmare. For example, if the infrastructure is within scope of PCI-DSS you're making not just the developer's laptop, but all of the network they're on now part of the audit scope, and it all needs to be up to scratch for security.

Combine that with the risk of using it to sniff/exfiltrate PII etc. I'm astounded that this was even built as a feature. It's a hacker's best friend, surely?

If it's too hard to test your code, fix your test environments, don't make production, or test, come to your laptop.
It makes it less ambiguous. There is no suggestion when you enter the Apple ecosystem that there is any way to use 3rd party hardware or software.

There is one supplier for the hardware: Apple. One supplier for the OS: Apple. And for phones, tablets, TVs and watches, only one supplier for software: Apple's official store.

Apple hardware like a gaming console. You buy an Xbox because you want/need an Xbox. You don't start fantasising about installing Arch on it and playing indie games from itch.io. You're perfectly happy getting what's available in the official store.
The way their system is designed it’s built to try and push you away from just downloading a safetensors file and make the installation of a model seem more elaborate than just doing that and in some areas safetensors support trailed unsafe model support.

But overall if you know what you’re doing you can use safetensors with HF. Just strange the unsafe option is still offered at all when the download local files side of AI have moved over to safetensors fully.

On programming, I like awk (more gawk because of sockets and nice I/O), and editing with just ed/vis (vis is like vi but with syntax highlighting and Sam's Structural Regexen) and entr to monitor the files at read/write so it spawns a make subprocess.

Make, not gmake. Proper guide to simple makefiles

git://bitreich.org/english_knight

I know awk it's kinda the opposite to MIT/GNU/Emacs/Lisp, but with awka I can compile it nicely into C to do lots of prototypes on math calculations and plots with Gnuplot.
This is the Unix philosophy done right, albeit 9front/plan9 takes it further with Acme and I/O to any device as a file and from any language.

Emacs and Elisp (and Common Lisp as the 'biggie' language) would be nice if Emacs didn't hang on I/O (hello gnus, back in the day I did tweak a config file so it read slrnpull's Usnet spool so it lasted 5 minutes on parsing and not 45), I'd truly use it, as it has lots of nice modules inline help and discoverability.

But with the Unix philosophy first I write down schematics with paper and pen, I protoype stuff with awk (awk does far more than reading lines, with the BEGIN clause you can even write a Tetris without touching a file), and then, awka -> C.
People doesn't know, but you can do a lot with just tcc, a full busybox set, gnuplot (no wx, no qt, just X11), and netcat if you don't want to use GNU awk for sockets.

Also, call me weird/odd, but a lot could be done with gopher, simple CGI with awk and an sqlite database. I know some -not small at all- book store in Spain using just AS400/DOS terminals to search between a networked array of machines with books ISBN's, availabilty and so on and the bookstore people looked up for books at light speeds. Imagine that today with the ubiquitous Java EE stack, or worse, Electron and bloated VS Code IDE's to generate a very subpar tool.
Building a GraphQL server with Netflix DGS: An unfiltered review
Hey, folks. I'm posting a blog article I wrote for my employer, Hasura. Sure sure, it's a bit of marketing, but honestly it's mostly an attempt to "start a conversation" as they say. I mean no disrespect, but in my experience, building GraphQL servers with Netflix DGS or any other way in code "by hand" is arduous and yet that does seem to be the standard way of going about it. The alternative is to provide a server by dynamically-introspecting a data model, the way it's done by Hasura, PostGraphile, Supabase, Prisma, AppSync, and a few others. What are peoples' experiences in this area? Am I wrong, in that, is there some way for a code approach not to be so arduous? What are the objections to dynamically "generating" the server? I think I know some of them, but maybe I don't know all of them.

If I'm wrong about any of this, hopefully people will line up to tell me how. That would be great! It would be great to talk about how people are going about this out in "the real world" (not tutorials and "Getting Started" guides) and see what can be learned on all sides. Anyway, thanks much! Peace.
The C implementation runs in ~1.7 seconds, but so does Swift [1]. The Dart [2] implementation achieved 1.17 seconds, but the record now looks to be ~0.57 seconds [3].

The original design goal of COBOL was to make professional programming obsolete. Business people could write code.

And then, some time later, COBOL was the language most commonly used by professional programmers.

So, yeah. This has been going on for a long time.
I personally think Ancient Aliens ought to be required watching in english classes. The way they smoothly slip down that slope from non-controversial statements of the form "X." towards statements of the form "Ancient Astronaut Theorists believe X; could it be true?" usually beats even political discourse.
Yes, Microsoft had 90% of the desktop OS marketplace, and did use that dominance to gain an edge in other markets. But despite that large market share, their leverage was kind of limited by the platform being open. Apple, on the other hand, has unlimited technical leverage. They can make up whatever anti-competitive rule they want to, and enforce it totally.

When Microsoft chose to neglect the web after IE6, it didn't take that long for competition to work around it. When Apple chose to neglect Safari in exactly the same way (and probably for the same reasons as Microsoft did with IE6), that was it. There was no workaround, nor any way for anyone to compete with a better browser.

PC games are a >$50 billion market, with Microsoft only getting a small slice of that. That's because Microsoft wasn't just able to outlaw direct installs nor competing digital games stores. Games for Windows Live had to compete against e.g. Steam, with the predictable outcome. The size of the iOS gaming market is comparable. Apple collects a 30% cut of it, and will do so indefinitely. Competing with them is literally impossible; nobody else can make a different app store offering better terms or a better user experience.

Apple is at around 60% market share in the US. The difference between 60% and 90% is a minor difference in scale. The difference between Apple's absolute control of iOS vs. the limited control that Microsoft had over Windows is a difference in kind. Apple got to choose whether competing software was even allowed on the platform. They could opening up special capabilities to only their own software, and actually enforce that (unlike Microsoft, whose undocumented APIs could still be reverse engineered). They can charge their competitors a 30% cut of revenue, while obviously ignoring it in their internal accounting for their own competing businesses.
Then go ahead and ban foreign companies from doing business in the EU or put a straight up importation tax on them, instead of squeezing them for money using dubious juridical manoeuvres. But expect the rest of the world to do the same to EU companies. And remember that EU companies do much more serious damage abroad than what Apple does to Spotify.

I’m not sure if you lived it, but Microsoft was actively targeting companies to destroy, and destroying companies because they could. Read about Mosaic, Be, their role in the SCO case, the Halloween documents, the Embrace, Extend, Extinguish philosophy.

Their monopoly case wasn’t about draconian terms. They were savagely destroying competition as a company culture.

Edit to add: bad terms on a vertically integrated platform is cute compared to Microsoft dictating what the entire PC industry was allowed to sell. It’s not that Windows was the best game in town, it was that vendors couldn’t sell Windows pre-installed if they sold anything else.
Which has would be worthless without apps like Spotify. Do you also think that Apple is entitled to 30% of anything bought with their browser? Should Microsoft be entitled to the same on windows and their browser?

If the Appstore is so good Apple should not be worried about competition by allowing side loading or alternative Appstores.
What work have they done differently than Android / Google that brings the higher paying users to the platform ?

Depending on configuration, either on the apartment unit, single-family house or apartment building level.

As the other commenter said, nowadays sauna in Finland is usually inside your house and the mechanized ventilation is connected to the overall ventilation system of your house. Hence the original article[1] explored the optimal positioning for mechanized air in/outlets in a sauna. The current Finnish building code incorporates the recommendations from this study (as document RT 91-11260).

I guess you could apply the same principles to an electric sauna in a separate building. Just use two fans (one pulling, one pushing) instead of an AC system. Most often a separate sauna building in Finland however has a wood-fired stove, which doesn't need as much consideration for ventilation as an electric sauna. My understanding is that the wood-fired stove itself creates a strong continuous draft which takes care of ventilation in the sauna room (pulling fresh air from outside through the stove and by combustion into the chimney).
