> This weird idea to force Apple to have OS viewports use a foreign engine

That is not what people are saying. Nobody cares that MacOS renders half its content using WebKit on Mac. Same goes for iOS - people do care that they can't use a PWA in their browser of choice. It's anticompetitive blockage that will be inevitably brought-up when the compliance deadline rolls around.

> would not be 99.9% of users' real choice at all

No reasonable person can claim that. Alternative browser engines aren't even allowed yet, you don't know that.

> just like the users who installed Avast anti-virus didn't choose to have all their browsing sold to adtech, or the users who chose "Private Browsing" in Chrome didn't choose to have Google recording that activity to the user's profile.

Or the people who left notifications on and got their iPhone information slurped up by the NSA. Pobody's nerfect, right? Get the strawmen out of here before they start a fire.

I've been a professional software developer for 16 years, working in various verticals such as digital video, AI/ML, healthcare, and more. I'm looking for senior/principal/??? remote IC roles, with a bias towards startups (let's move fast!) I have 10 years of experience being a tech lead, and the right hybrid management/IC role could also be a great fit. Hit me up, let's chat!
Just a note, you don't have a Senior Engineering Manager role posted on your site. Would happily chat over it!
Additionally, if you have a fairly specific use case for something like this, we’d love to hear it.

We’re very early and still trying to figure out what people need of a product like this. Our first customer is in publishing, and is particularly interested in finding new hot topics that people want to k ow about.
"open source" and "free software" originate in the movement started by Richard Stallman in the 1990s. The hackers of that era embraced his writings and became tireless advocates of FOSS specifically because of the rights promised, the so called Four Freedoms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software#Definition_and_t....

A variety of unscrupulous business people have wanted to call their software "open source" as a marketing tactic without adhering to the terms of the Four Freedoms. This practices is derisively known as "openwashing" or "FOSSwashing" and is a good way to alienate the cadre of senior hackers who are strong believers in the Four Freedoms, the ones who make FOSS a successful movement in the first place, and garner bad publicity. You are better off avoiding such deceptive marketing practices.
Only technical reasons. When PWA’s were introduced in iOS 11, they were built with the assumption of WebKit as a privileged process. A re-arch is definitely doable, just a big expense for little return. And probably not feasible in just a year, can’t imagine it would be a top priority against all of the other work.
This is my layman's perspective, but it seemed bound to happen. The biggest risk from covid when it was novel appeared to be mass susceptibility and causing overflow in treatment centers and hospitals. Now it seems enough people's immune systems have developed to the point where it won't be as viral in the general population reducing spread and impact. I'm glad vaccines were available to ease us to this point.
I consider that a limited view of the tasks and responsibilities of a company, but if you see it so black-and-white, then I, nor anybody else, and certainly not Apple or the EU, should care about Spotify, because it's not our profit.
Obese isn't a term defined by some quantitative health break-point, or empirical health outcomes, it's an arbitrary threshold established by the guy that invented BMI at a conspicuously nice round number. The term is practically useless for anything more substantial than shame, scare-mongering, and the denial of health care, but insurance companies and the beauty, clothing, wellness, fitness, and dietary industry derive vast amounts of profit from its proliferation, and people to whom it doesn't apply derive some comfort and a sense of superiority from it, and so it remains in common use in spite of, rather than according to, best medical practices.
This was linked in the GP comment.
The language runtime can require that the OS & hardware always results in an exception on stack overflow (or, alternatively, compile in explicit checks for it). You running the program in an environment without that is, technically, just as wrong as running it on a system where integer addition does multiplication.

Now perhaps this means that there are real rust deployments that are "wrong", but that shouldn't include regular sane standard systems, and embedded users should know the tradeoffs.

https://godbolt.org/z/Y75KTT87M:

.LBB3_1:
sub rsp, 4096
mov qword ptr [rsp], 0
cmp rsp, r11
jne .LBB3_1

That's a loop at the start of your 'main' that probes the stack specifically to ensure a segfault definitely happens if your array didn't fit on the stack.

I was recently discussing this subject and I have to wonder if some combination of human readable symbols that is also optimized for machine scanning will emerge.

Right now any phone should be able to parse a url if it can read the type, and so what is the point of QR besides the ubiquity?

> we want to define the values that make up the set. For example, 'type boolean = true | false'

Sure, or, more relevant, `type monthOrdinal = 1-12` or `type email = {string}@{string}`. Any advanced type system will allow for that, of course, but Go does not. It does not even pretend to claim to be an advanced language. It has, quite explicitly, chosen to not be.

Yes, you are right that if Go had value constraints then an enum type could utilize those constraints, but, again, nothing to do with enums themselves. You are confusing unrelated features.
That's one possible cause. It could also be that our diets have changed to make us more prone to obesity, perhaps people consume more processed foods than before. The article alludes to this when it says eating badly is a major cause of obesity.

I don't think there is enough information quite yet to jump to the positive conclusion of greater abundance causing obesity.
Not that external data changes your anecdotal experience.

But you should note that this study also contains the following claim:

> The multivariate survey‐adjusted logistic regression analysis of the entire sample did not reach a significant association between daily cannabis use and CHD (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.16 [95% CI, 0.98–1.38]; P=0.09)

Which is only one point. But it does illustrate the potential complexity of the interaction, and that we are a long way from establishing a clear causal chain.

How is this satirical or dystopian?

It baffles me, how people pretend like they're not responsible. Sure, Exxon has probably done lots of damage that could have been prevented through how they operate. But how can one be so childish to try and put all blame on the company.

How about this comparison?

You buy a t-shirt at a local shop of some renowned chain. On the label it says "Sustainably produced .. responsibility .. fair trade ..". But in fact it's one of those garments that are sewn in some sweatshop in Bangladesh by underage children. Either your renowned chain is fooling you, or some other company further up the supply chain.

Now who's the bad guy here? Who's responsible for the bad outcome?

No, it's not you buying the t-shirt, since you had reason to believe everything is fine. Yes the company's the bad guy. Or the governement, because they apparently didn't do enough checks and apply sufficient fines. But it's not you, since you intentionally bought a product that specifically advertises being less harmfull.

--

Now compare this to the following case, where you buy something else, also with a bad outcome.

You drive your car to the gas station and fill up the tank with some regular gasoline. Supplied by Exxon. In this case the bad outcome isn't child labour but instead the damage done to the environment from the whole supply chain and also from you finally emitting the CO2 by putting your foot on the pedal.

See the difference between the two cases?

The difference is: with the t-shirt, you were acting in good faith, believing your purchase didn't do any harm you didn't know about. So the child labour is not really your fault.

When you drive to the gas station on the other hand, to get yourself some gasoline, you are 100% absolutely certainly aware of the negative consequences your purchase will have on the environment. There is no sticker there, claiming the gasoline will not burn to CO2. It is 100% YOUR decision to buy the gas and burn it in your car, producing the negative outcome for the environment. If you did not buy the gas and if everyone else didn't buy the gas either, Exxon and the other companies would have a hard time making a business out of it.

Let me put it differently: you as the customer specifically bought the gasoline. You know the gas isn't some carbon neutrally produced e-fuel. Still, you bought it. There's no mysterious other way that Exxon should have produced the gas so that it magically combusts CO2-free in your car. You're not being fooled into thinking that the stuff you buy just burns to rose perfume. You made the request "Please give me some of this liquid carbohydrate mixture that turns the engine of my car while releasing CO2" and Exxon fulfilled it. The emission of CO2 doesn't happen because Exxon coerced you to buy their gas. It happens because you chose to drive a car running on gas.

You could have chosen the bicycle instead. Not Exxon's fault you didn't.
Batteries aren't a solution for EVs, they are a stopgap at best. Fuel cells and hydrogen burning engines are a much better solution.
So, I straight up don't get how this works but there's a tire shop called "discount tire" which "insures" tires for such a nominal fee that I couldn't believe it. I've gone through three sets of tires now for a price of approximately ~40$ each set (the new sets keep insurance). This is for a Lexus. That tire shop has to have lost a whole lot of money on my car, but they have no issues with this policy at all.

Did I just get extremely lucky? Is this the norm? Tires seem really expensive but somehow I'm not paying the fees and my tires are good quality goodyears too.

Sure, I was mostly referring to NFL case and profit taxation, not to how non-profit foundations are abused in general.

NFL can achieve the same taxation level as a for-profit if it's more careful about distributing all surplus earnings before the end of the year.

Someone could certainly abuse the non-profit status there too, but nobody brought those cases up.
I think you missed the point—your organization is completely dysfunctional at this point and hiring won't change that.

Based on your description you don't have a WFH policy, you have a policy that incentivizes not working at all. What makes you think that these hypothetical new hires are going to actually work while the rest of their department doesn't? What sane person would put up with that treatment?

One of the major benefits of open source is the lack of dependency on the original company. For example if I build a business on MySQL and it is suddenly bought by a commercial company famous for raising prices... it's not a problem, as it is an open source license and I can always switch to a forked version. This applies even if I prefer to pay someone for a hosted version of a database - one provider raises prices or goes out of business, I can switch to a different one with a modest migration effort.

This is very much not a case with Elastic. If you build your business on their cloud offering (and use all the latest APIs), it's a great risk. They increase prices? You have to pay more. They go out of business? sucks to be you. The self-hosting alternative would be very disruptive as you'd urgently need to get operational expertise in running and tuning the services, and that's not a simple thing.

So no, Elastic license is not providing major benefits of open source, and thus one should not call it "open source". It's a single-supplier commercial license. Nothing wrong with this, they wrote the code after all, but one should be aware of it when choosing a storage system.
I’d agree. And the fact that it evolved in a way that made individuals massive massive profit, suggests that maybe their mind wasn’t changed, and profit was the actual intention
My previous car made it to 18 and I'm hoping to keep its replacement alive as long as possible to see what the track record of car companies looks like for lifespan of their electric cars.

It's not just the battery, they're increasingly turning into smartphone-like gadgets. And performance on that type of device never seems to get better as it stretches toward the end of its supported life. Even in the best case automakers are saying things like "we'll give it 15 years of android updates." On the one hand, that's not long enough, and on the other at that 15 year mark I half expect the car will take 30 minutes to launch the maps app because "technically gave you an update" doesn't mean "gave any shits about the user experience on 15 year old hardware."

If anything, the battery is the part where there's a possibility of a 3rd party replacement/refurbishment market improving things. Not so easy to replace an EV's infotainment system as it was to swap a single DIN tape deck out for a bluetooth radio.
Devil's advocate: having a stable (maybe too stable) runtime for all iOS PWAs might actually be a benefit. Native apps, for instance, don't have to worry about rendering issues in various "viewers." This actually brings PWAs closer to the world of native apps, which I believe is what users would prefer.

That said, I literally did a jump for joy when the DMA news broke. (Then of course, I did scream bloody murder reading the details on PWAs.)
Next.js for Drupal
It’s super well documented if you care to look. PWA’s rely on a Safari service worker running as a system process. Under the current iOS PWA architecture, any browser hosting a PWA can ignore app sandboxing.

I don’t understand why people speculate weird conspiracies rather than doing a bit of research to see the actual issue. We can still pile on Apple for a bad design, lack of foresight, and unwillingness to totally rebuild the PWA architecture.
A board subject to some form of democratic control, for instance, might be better than a council of five self-appointed dictators for life, if the goal is really the benefit of the whole of humanity.
Here's someone doing exactly that, synchronizing a medium-sized hydroelectric generator to the grid.[1] The valve-to-turbine pipe delay isn't a big problem.
This stuff is adjusted on the scale of tens of seconds. Opening the valve makes the whole reservoir slosh for a few minutes, and the operator had to wait that out before trying to achieve sync by hand.

yeah, it should just open up in the default browser setting within the OS. having to create a shortcut based on which browser would be ridiculous. must like the post you were replying to was a ridiculously proposed comment.

> Safari already is a better browser... for users.

Bold claim, wanna know how we test it? We let Safari compete with other browsers like it does on Mac. And having spent a lot of time around startups, I can assure you that the majority of Mac developers I've seen aren't daily-driving Safari.

> When Safari is dead and your web browser has become a TV, you can thank the standup folks at Open Web Advocacy organization.

If Apple is the only thing enabling an Open Web, then our web was never open to begin with. Let Safari die, for all I care. Maybe it will encourage Apple to try something different.

I'm a senior software engineer with focus on backend. I've been building for over 10 years and worn a few different hats: co-founding a startup, consulting, leading a team. Mosty I work with Python, Django, TypeScript, Node.js. I have extensive expereince working with LLMs since the GPT-2 days. Recently I've exited a startup I've co-founded (https://www.getwelder.com/) and build MagicCut (GPT powerd video editor) at VEED.IO. I prefere fixed term contracts but would consider an interesting long term offer too.
It’s not a matter of philosophy (“should”) but rather of economics.

I think that the balance of supply and demand will tend to have the market-clearing comp be somewhat lower, assuming that the offered labor for four-day weeks is well in excess of the demanded labor for four-day weeks.
