I have been feeling the same way. Apple has been dropping the ball a lot lately. This whole malicious compliance thing they are doing with the EU is childish. Apple 100% should have lost the court case to Epic the same way Google did.

I was going to start an Ask HN post on this very thing just this morning, so instead I’ll just reply here.

The last few weeks, HN seems to be suppressing Apple headlines. They will be on the front page, but then drop off minutes later - despite being fresh, growing in votes and engagement, and being high quality articles.

Meanwhile, positive headlines about OpenAI will be up for hours…

Also, don’t blame the mod tools. This should be fixed, that’s not normal
By changing those assumptions?

Either not accepting that Apple takes a cut of competitors, or by not allowing them to compete in certain areas?
Except the jammer oversaturates your receiver or even burns it out. Or causes it to see ghost targets.
My thinking is this: strip out everything but my requests, tidy it up a bit, and feed it to ChatGPT in a fresh context window, and you'll (presumably) get the same Python code out, or something functionally equivalent.

It's like running early C++ code through cfront to generate a C program that is then compiled and executed as usual. Except this time, the input is not C++, it's plain English. That is not a small distinction!

For one thing, any reasonably-literate person can now get the computer to do what they want. The specification is now the program itself, a longstanding holy grail of programming. Decades of marketing hype and empty promises of "5GL" languages are now within reach.

As for maintenance, the document that is 'maintained' is the English, not the Python. When the requirements change, regenerate the output. Ideally no human ever needs to see the Python code, much less edit it. (Notice that ChatGPT isn't just generating the code from scratch, but successfully editing it.)

There is no reason to think that small random variations in the exact output code will be a showstopper. Automated test generation will be a big part of the picture, of course.
> no reason other than that they could

That's statement is wrong given the quote you posted right after. They clearly state it's due to perceived breaches of contractual obligations.

FWIW, I have no horse in the race, just pointing out what I would assuming is a misapprehension in your statement.
> Apple's walled-garden approach is innovative especially on the security and stability fronts and anyone who doesn't like that or wants alternative launchers should jailbreak their ios device or just use Android, which does fit better into EU market.

This how I feel completely.

I use quite few different devices & operating systems on a daily basis (MacOS, iOS, Android, Linux, Windows, FreeBSD) and they all have their place. I use a Mac for my primary workstation and an iPhone for my primary phone specifically because I want security, stability, and usability on those devices. Also, the Apple ecosystem & iCloud, are very convenient for sharing / collaborating with household family members.

Don't get me wrong - many Linux distros are very stable and secure. But the "year of the Linux Desktop" is still far out. I actually feel it's further out now than it was 5 years ago. Which is too bad, because I am an avid Linux user and have used it since Slackware 3.0 / kernel 1.2.13. Easily 50% time spent on my Mac is just using a terminal logged into Linux or BSD based servers.

If I wanted a single phone, for fun, learning, hacking, etc, it would definitely not be an iPhone. But that's not what I want / need in my phone at this point in my life.

It often seems that the people pushing so hard for Apple to change its ways are not the people that actually use Apple Products, but rather individuals projecting their own beliefs and preferences onto others.
Yep. I like Tailwind, one can list the benefits and say he likes it but GP's comment surely could be less full of zealotry.
Seems more to me like someone built a beautiful walled garden where people are walking nicely, and some rowdy pirates are trying to break it down because they see a lot of money inside.
Hiring bounty hunters to hunt down the perpetrators should also be tax deductible then.
It's not by design, but one thing I loved about living in Raleigh, NC is how many of the trees were preserved as it developed. It's quite nice (except during pollen season if you have allergies) and the shade is pretty valuable when dealing with those summers. It's especially noticable compared to Durham, which was not able to preserve as many trees close to it's downtown core and some big roads. Though Durham still has something like 52% tree coverage? The housing development craze in that area is definitely making a dent in the the coverage for the region as a whole though.
Regulations are often touted as the reason why EU can't compete (which is anyways a narrow perspective), but nobody ever considers the fact that the US had such a huge early mover advantage thanks to the decades after world war II, during which Europe was busy rebuilding after being bombed to rubbles. Thanks to network effects and compounding growth, being the early mover determines most of later outcomes, IMHO.
I don't know if they'll have a software based 'anti-cheat' but you could be completely undetectable using this method:

HDMI out into splitter from graphics card or tablet, whatever. Use secondary box to ingest video and spit out answers on an alternate display.

I learned of the article via Rusty Foster’s “Today in Tabs” a couple days ago. His summary of the situation is really great and concise. https://www.todayintabs.com/p/turn-around-over-here (starts a few paragraphs down, but Rusty’s a great writer so maybe just read from the top)
It was very obviously intended as a launch pad for the lawsuit, not a genuine attempt to skirt App Store rules.
Seems like this could be a big win for local LLMs =D
Just dont go SAP about as bad as oracle haveing worked in both shops.

As an EU citizen, I love Apple products and would hate if I had to use subpar alternatives like Windows/Linux laptops or Android phones, so I for one would like if this would end in a way that Apple would remain in EU.
English English: "innit?"
Of course. But for the most part it's beautiful. My best friend used to drive taxi and when I had nothing to do I would go with him in the car while he was working, so I've been around. I like the architecture in the barrios.
Plus SVG can’t properly wrap text, which matters for some use cases.
People have mentioned other languages (Polish, Latin, French, English) but the negation particles in all of those languages is from the same source (Proto-Indo-European "ne"). The Japanese one is entirely unrelated though.
Apple's lawyer states no such thing, only that they have the right to revoke anyone's developer account for any time and for any reason. They believe Epic will violate their rules in the future and affect iOS users' privacy and safety, so they banned them.

I know this is the internet, and no one actually reads the linked articles, but I really wish people would do so before weighing in. You did not need to make up a non-disparagement clause.
'Is that a real Banksy?' Art market struggles with an £18.6M question
Nothing? It definitely pays all the fees to have access to Apple Development Program for all its iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS developers, it pays for all the Mac machines required to develop for iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS. Those are required to develop for Apple's platforms.

It pays nothing because it cannot pay 30% of subscriptions to Apple and be a viable business, Spotify already pays out 70+% for royalties, if it had to pay another 30% for every subscription through the App Store it would be bankrupt.
Well, it can't, right? Even if the Internet Archive takes it down after the publisher asks, there are other archive sites that thumb their noses at such requests.
High CPU and RAM usage.
What will happen if they exit the EU? They will loose more revenue and tank their stock and Tim Apple will get the boot ad EU users will move to Samsungs, Pixels and Nokias and life will go on.

You're acting like the EU is some poor country in the outback and not their second biggest market after the US.

Or better yet, we fork Android and have a non-Google EU-only appstore similar to Huawei's Andorid fork OS and appstore but with EU's privacy rules. If so many companies bother to make apps just for Huawei's separate appstore, then they'll definitely do that for the EU as well. Of course, then Google will go bitch about it to "daddy", and the US will probably start a trade war with the EU.
That’s not true. A story can disappear from the front page for a variety of reasons, including user flags and manual moderator intervention. There’s no reason to suspect this particular story triggered the flamewar detector.
> “Calorie is a calorie” is thermodynamically correct, but not true when it comes to diet. It’s like saying “it doesn’t matter if you drink booze or beer as long as you get the same amount of alcohol”. Alcohol intake is much easier to regulate with mild beverages. The same applies to energy intake with low-glycemic-index products.

While I have serious concerns about most nutritional/exercise studies the underwhelming number that point to low carb/low fat/etc. as the end-all-be-all even controlled for calories is still mind-blowing. It's all calories at the end of the day, you should do whatever satisfies your micro and macro needs while helping you to stick to the diet.

This isn't exactly honest but it's still funny.
When I took the GRE in 2017, everything was digital as well. But I couldn't believe how locked down the experience was. The testing center in downtown SF had no windows, a metal detector, and you had to check all food outside of the testing room. Just in case you were going to try to cheat off of your banana. I think each computer was also recording a video of you taking the test although I might be mistaken here. Certainly there were cameras set up all around the perimeter.

I'm shocked at how laissez-faire we've gotten for college entrance exams, which I'd arguably say are much more important at getting you _into_ the graduate programs than the actual graduate program exams are themselves.
all true, but at least there will be one fewer setting students are forcibly exposed to COVID-19 in

Same in Copenhagen. I was wondering how in the world they were making money.
I just checked and the pm2 levels are as bad as they were when I visited pre Covid (50 μg/m^3). I was there for 3 months, in El Poblado neighborhood and the air quality was horrendous, I would never go back. The depression in which the city lays also keeps all the pollution in place for longer.
Fighting Spotify on this so hard remains really weird to me for a few reasons:

* Apple is a direct competitor to Spotify in multiple areas, they obviously benefit from putting Spotify at a disadvantage and keeping them there.

* Apple has vertical integration Spotify can't compete with, where their competing product(s) ship with their phones.

* Apple gets to pocket 30% of what their competitor earns, and their competitor isn't allowed to do anything about it.

* In practice, even without the anti-steering policy, very few people are going to go to the trouble of subscribing to Spotify in a browser when they could do it conveniently through the app via Apple's streamlined UX instead.

At some point it should have been obvious to Apple that it was best to just cave slightly on anti-steering to the point that developers stop getting mad about it.

In the past I recall that Apple prohibited Facebook from disclosing that 30% of what you thought you were paying to people for event tickets was going to Apple instead of the event operator. That's another case where aggressively enforcing policy makes them look like jerks for no upside. The money in question is effectively pennies.
Although I do listen to Adam Gordon Bell's podcasts from time to time, I'm not sure if I should invest 40something minutes into hearing about why some rando left BigCorp. This may be an unpopular opinion, but isn't unprofessional to spill the beans about your past employment like this? As an external observer and hiring manager, I wouldn't touch this person with a 10-foot pole if they're in the hiring pool.

I personally find this type of content to be mundane, basic and useless. This is the type of stuff most people run into if their engineering career spans more than a couple of years, touches large organizations, they can't handle conflicts and have the luxury of being more affluent than other employees. I don't understand why someone would go out of their way to share something like this.
HN's standard about this question has been stable for many years: some stories with political overlap are both inevitable and in keeping with the mandate of the site. The question, when it comes to the biggest political topics, is which stories clear that bar.

I've posted about this many times, including quite a few explanations specific to the current topic:

not a pro by any means but here are some pointers:

- if applicable, swap the default, white Bowden tube by one that's heat resistant (Capricorn comes often as a recommendation), that's for your health

- get a PEI sheet, ABS will have a tendency to detach/warp over long prints that PEI mitigates slightly

- draft being the main cause for warping and failed/dimensionally inaccurate ABS prints, you need an enclosure. A cardboard box is enough, but then you need to refrain from looking inside (which is difficult for complex and long prints), having a transparent side could help

- pre-hear enclosed, give it time, and tune your z offset accordingly

- dry your filament
I have a hard-copy of this book, and it seems like the PDF isn't the final version, judging by the hand drawn illustrations at least.

The book does dive into some old and arcane object file formats, but that's interesting in its own way. Nice to get a comparison of how different systems did things.

After reading that book and other sources, I examined how people typically create libraries in the UNIX/Linux world. Some of the common practices seem to be lacking, so I wrote an article about how they might be improved: https://begriffs.com/posts/2021-07-04-shared-libraries.html

Edit: That covers the dynamic linking side of things at least.
It'll likely embed Node I'm afraid — the vast majority of Tailwind is written in JS so we'd have to rewrite all of that in Rust just for the standalone CLI, and migrating the entire project to Rust is impractical because we'd have no JS plugin story like we do now.

Even though I truly despise the man that Musk is today, he is not comparable to Trump, prior to politics. Trump always scammed and lied, while Musk did have a real foundation of accomplishments.

I may be trying to compensate for having been an Elon stan pre-2018ish, but I do have to give him a lot credit for being the founder of SpaceX, which is the best launch provider on the planet. He was also the CEO who made Tesla what it is. He did accelerate the adoption of EVs. He truly believed in the physics of both of those endeavors, he was right, and I loved him for it. A true inspiration.

BUT.. around 2018 he got high on his own supply. I had watched every Elon video up to that point, and there is one old one where he said ~"I fear that I could get too ego driven, and have no one around to call me on my shit, and that really worries me." He was right to worry about that, because he sailed right through that with a vengeance. The first couple years of that were tolerable, but now, what a devolution. I hate to admit it, but it really broke my heart.

Now back to my first paragraph, Musk is worse than Trump politically, aka the part that matters now, because he is sucking a lot of intelligent people down to the lowest of human nature. It deeply disgusts me.
We were there in January. There are some amazing, modern, clean and green parts of the city. The botanic gardens (Jardín Botánico de Medellín) are beautiful and considerably cooler than the surrounding parts of town. The metro - with cable cars linking off to the hillside neighborhoods - is very clean, modern, and efficient.

We saw the city hall vertical garden - pretty neat.

An immense amount of effort has gone into revitalizing the city in recent years.

One thing that struck me though, is that the rising tide hasn't quite lifted all boats - or people to be more precise. I saw a lot more beggars, people living on the streets, and homeless encampments than in Bogotá, or Cali or other cities. It feels like a disconnection from community and family that is still present in other places - especially smaller cities and towns. I hope they can figure out ways to help the bottom 1%. (Realizing that is a common refrain worldwide.)

So in other words, not only is this opinion not supported by the scientific evidence, it's not even really supported by mmalmi's personal experience. Phenomenal.
Just to put this in perspective, Dennis Ritchie proposed fat pointers to WG 14.

Bjarne Stroustoup has discussed several approaches to safety in The Design and Evolution of C++, and famously published the Remember the Vasa paper regarding where everything is going.

The fact that not even the original authors of the languages were/are able to win the majority of votes at ISO shows where the community culture lies.

How is there such a big disconnect between HN opinion on Oracle and business use?

Is it maybe the least bad of all the bad options? Does it cover some edge cases which the obvious FOSS solutions don’t?
About 10 years ago, my then-employer had an Oracle audit and they were found to owe over $500,000 in licensing fees (the initial cost was much higher but they negotiated it down). They were blatantly violating their agreement by owning a single socket license and using Oracle on a half dozen large production servers and a bunch of dev servers. The DBA that ran the licensing script said "You know we're not in compliance right?" and the company execs said "No worries, we'll negotiate a good deal".

When I started, I asked about licensing while setting up a new production server and the CTO admitted they were under licensed and were planning to true up licenses next quarter, but over a year went by and they never did. I suggested that they work on porting to Postgres or MySQL/MariaDB and get off Oracle (or at least consolidate into fewer servers to reduce the socket count), but they never had the time to do that.

The company went out of business shortly after the bill from Oracle came due (not sure if Oracle ever got any money). I'd already left by then since I saw the writing on the wall -- as soon as they stopped providing snacks in the break room and the coffee switched from Peets to Folgers, I knew they were running out of money.

You can never know what google knows about you. You can see the information you gave google.

Who you are sleeping with and how often, which medical conditions you have, what your religious and political views are, what you are sexually attracted to. Google knows all of those things about you but you'll never find those kinds of records using any interface google offers you and you have no power to delete them.
