> I have a lot of control over who can contact me

This might be the funniest thing I’ve ever heard. It’s literally legal in my country to spam me on my phone number and there is ZERO I can do to change that. Ergo I have fuck all control over who can contact me.
That's really cool! Thanks for link. I guess I just never assumed that would be open sourced!
I just find it sad that all the upvoted responses are "practice interviewing", which although is true and good advice, is indicative of a spurious state of affairs, that jobs are acquired not through merit, but by rehearsing an aesthetic ritual unrelated to job's tasks at hand.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39754083 also puts it well.
I've tried to establish simple language codes with close relatives to deal with such scenarios, but I don't think I could rely on them remembering those. It's just such an awfully awkward conversation to be having that I suspect most people like to forget about it quickly. Any experiences with this or tips?
How is it compared to https://ente.io/ ?
Maybe it will put emphasis on the social aspect of internet. Maybe people will be more sceptikal. by having t know your source, having small but trustworthy network based on real people...

maybe that will change the shape of internet and lead to premium internet service where experts are paid to provide currated informations.

does not sounds too bad tbh.
J primitives are easier to type, but they aren't any more readable or familiar to newcomers than APL symbols.
> Any replacement would have the same fraudulent traffic migrate to it.

We've had SSL on the web for 30 years now. We don't visit our bank's web site and wonder if we're really talking to our bank, but we casually accept that of course someone calling from our bank's phone number could be a fraudster. There might be some fraud that is able to migrate, but it wouldn't be the smorgasbord for fraudsters that the legacy phone system has created.

> eliminate many people's ability to access emergency services reliably

This is like saying that we can't put out the dumpster fire because it provides some people with warmth. The 911 system (at least in the US) is already a travesty. Caller locations are a crapshoot for wireless calls. Call centers aren't centralized, standardized, or coordinated, and they're overloaded. The technology is outdated. Moving it off the phone network and onto a centralized digital platform would be a massive improvement.
Hey! Thanks for this. I have no backend yet, so it can be whatever makes sense. This is all just planning for what I want to do next here. So postgres in the back is fine by me. This looks pretty great. Will dive in.
An iPhone should be like a Macbook.

A user should be able to load a cryptographic key to the bootloader and boot any OS of their choosing. I'm kind of more on the extreme "Free Market" way of thinking, but even I think that government should step in and force an iPhone to be like a Macbook in this way.

That the F.nucleatum bacterium is associated with colon cancer has been known for some time, e.g.: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27876571/

It is also associated with "poor rates of both overall survival and progression-free survival" in cervical cancer: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33197886/

And it is "associated with shorter survival" when found in esophageal cancer:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27769987/

It is also linked to gastric cancer: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-18596-0

All in all, it's obviously a pretty nasty little customer. It might be worth screening for it, and attempting to eliminate it if possible.
For every thing that the DOJ is complaining about there’s a Google version: Chat, Wallet, Auto, Pixel, etc.

This suit reminds me of the phrase, “I’ve been convicted by a jury of my peers… who couldn’t get out of jury duty.”

Apple is under the gun because their main competitors (at least Google and Samsung) aren’t as good / successful, even when they have greater market shares.

Also, Android is.. ahem.. “open source”.

Come on. It used to be perfectly normal.
I don't know how much experience you have, but in the JS world there are band-aids everywhere. They "fix" a lot of real-world problems, help push things to production, and are more important than you think.

Just look at the typing gymnastics in TypeScript.
Unless I just can't find it, there seems to be no setting for customizing the prompt format for local models. You can edit the prompt itself, but not the format of the prompt or the subsequent messages. This would make using many models difficult, or give poor results, since they don't all use the same format.
Stock issuance deducts from GAAP earnings. So yes, it sounds like they would be profitable excluding this issuance.

Imagine you own 1% of a business that nets $100/year in cashflow, so you're entitled to $1/year. But they give the employees of that business 2% (of total count) additional shares per year (and not you).

Are you making or losing money? Cash flow positive, negative earnings... loss of your equity exceeds your cashflow.

A few years from now Apple will invent satellite messaging and we'll all fall in love with it.
I have an original London Underground Oyster Card which still works fine! It's MIFARE Classic according to Wikipedia, and do often wonder when TfL will cancel them.
I would honestly be fine if Apple was at least as lenient as Android in terms of sideloading. Doesn't seem like a big ask to me, given that just about every other phone manufacturer in the world except for Apple does it and the world hasn't ended. Apple has other issues beyond the software thing, but saying that you shouldn't be allowed to actually own a device you purchased because "apple owns 100% of iphones!" is very silly to me.

> Notably, I have not used Kubernetes but the anecdotal data does not lead me to think I’m missing out on much.

My experience as a single developer on a new project is that the usability of K8s has improved dramatically in the last decade.

I use Vultr VKS; setting up a small cluster takes a few minutes, it’s super cheap, and now I have a deployment environment with automatic redundancy, zero downtime upgrades, and much more.

It’s not perfect, but I absolutely love it, and it’s made my life so much easier. I do hate yaml with a passion, and there’s a lot of boilerplate, but IDEs and templates make it bearable, and in any case it’s a small price to pay for all the automation I get.
I wouldn’t say I’ve had horror stories just minor gripes and frustrations. You can mix and match AppKit and UIKit with SwiftUI. So there is always an escape hatch.

SwiftUI is insanely productive when it comes to building mostly simple list and form applications.

I highly recommend that you try it, you can always build a component or large sections using UIKit if you run into issues.

At Ditto almost all of our enterprise customers use SwiftUI over UIKit because SwiftUI is so productive for the vast majority of use cases. Does it have parity with UIKit? No… but it’s never been a dealbreaker for us.
> They hacked together a solution that “quite easily” exposed your private comms to them..

Beeper Cloud did (does?), but Beeper Mini did not! It was all on device, nothing was relayed through Beeper's servers.
External libraries? What do you mean by that? External storage?

The last time I looked, Immich can’t work with a existing file and folder structure without importing (copy) everything in his own structure (database). That’s a big no go for me.

In Memories, the file structure of your photos is preserved as-is. And you can run it alongside with other solutions that respect your folder structure.

EDIT: looks like Immich can work with external folders. But: Does it put pictures from my phone in that external folder or in its own folder?
If you are looking for a text to sql solution, I can in all modesty recommend my own https://www.sqlai.ai. Adding schemas can be done in any format and it automatically parsed/optimized by AI for optimal performance.
Both your post and OP's are confident and emotionally forceful without any reasoning why. On one hand, in most of the world, especially countries less developed than the US, messaging apps are very popular and SMS is either not even provided in the plan or barely used. On the other I do think that at the very least phone manufacturers consider MMS/SMS to be a core functionality because it's built into most phones. As such it does feel user hostile to not care about MMS/SMS. I can see the merits of both but don't know why I'd believe one over the other.

I'm curious where y'all's confidence comes from in user hostility or not and what indicators you have to tip your hand one way or the other. That might result in more elucidating conversation too.
I'm not making an argument against birth control.

So as an example of checkered history, I'm referring to things like the push for circumcision as a measure to fight AIDs which has counterintuitively lead to a drop in condom usage in some places[1]. This is a great example of well meaning people from Europe and the US intervening in a way that makes things worse.

There have been concerns around HIV risk with DMPA[1] and ethical concerns about around the initial trials of the drug[3].

There were forced sterilizations in South Africa as recently as 2005[4].

There were similar issues in Kenya in the early 2010s[5].

My point was that people should look upon population alarmists with some skepticism, and when they talk about birth control in Africa I think it merits extra scrutiny.

I just noticed if you click "start trial" it will automatically add 1 $1000 license to cart. Really? Doing classic hidden subscription dark patterns for a $1000/month software. It's already shitty thing to do for a $15 streaming services, but for something like this I would expect a more professional attitude.

Is there auto syncing from Apple Photos? That’s the missing feature in Google Photos for me.
I'm not a developer in this space myself, but my impression is that HealthKit is one area where 3rd party apps have access to the same data as 1st party apps.
>they turned interviews into dating

lmao, it's true. You show up on time, put your best foot forward, talk about your experience, passions, skills, and then they'll consider whether you're tall enough.
Slashdot was way way earlier. Also massively overcomplex (metamoderation) and full of trolls and much narrower.

Reddit was basically Slashdot 4chan, in a meaningful sense.
Reading the plot to Silent Running makes me think it had some influence on WALL-E and Interstellar.
I prefer water kefir over kombucha. Much easier to maintain than milk kefir and can get really nice carbonation. Tends to be a bit alcoholic though, probably 2% or so.
That analogy breaks down when you look at the state of Safari on iOS. Even ignoring the features of the browser itself, the way its version is tied to the OS version causes tons of support issues for our customers.
You’d have to be a total moron, but if there’s one thing I learned from Reddit it’s that there are far more morons out there than I realized.
It falls back to plain ol SMS/MMS. So any features newer than 2008 or so.
I don't use the A word, because it's one of those words that popular culture has poisoned with fear, anger, and magical thinking. I can at least respect Kurzweil though and he says the human brain has 10 petaflops. Blackwell has 20 petaflops. That would seem to make it capable of superhuman intelligence to me. Especially if we consider that it can focus purely on thinking and doesn't have to regulate a body. Imagine having your own video card that does ChatGPT but 40x smarter.
Stay within store, nobody forces you to sideload or download certain apps.
Yeah exactly, like that second article says, suddenly having to switch to a pretty archaic system that's now only used for backup (with a reduced number of VORs) is not fun, and the distraction can lead to build up of other situations that can really cause serious danger. It won't be the single cause of a crash, but crashes are rarely the cause of a single problem but rather a compound failure of many things going wrong in just the worst way.

Here in Europe VORs are also very rare now. Makes sense because they're hugely expensive to operate and when used only for backup it's not a very good investment.
This seems like such a waste of time for the Justice Department. Despite what we may think about Apple's walled garden, the case for consumer harm is very limited. There are only so many anti-trust cases they can pursue, and I don't know why they aren't digging into things that clearly damage consumers.

For example CVS Caremark, Optum Rx, and Express Scripts control 80% of the consumer drug market as PBMs. CVS Caremark controls 1/3 of the market and that control definitely drives up prices and bottlenecks drug availability. You can also easily identify how delays with PBM adversely effect patient outcomes.

Why did it take a person injury lawyer to finally take on the national association of realtors on fees?

One could go on at length.
Surprise, people want more than one thing out of a product.

Voting with your wallet works very badly when there are two main options. Which anti-consumer behaviors do you pick? When something is bad enough, it's better to make it illegal for all options.
Your mom would have to go out of her way to find and install a separate app store. You could make it give all sorts of warnings that would scare off a non-tech user like your mom.
When every other aspect of the app is basically free, yes. I would pay once for the functionality, not as a subscription.
I locked myself out of the room on several occastions, and at the very least they ask for your name and double check in the system. It's not as easy as you describe.
Is this just a promo puff piece for the IPO?
Do you have any reliable evidence to back up your assertion that the activity in question "wasn't a very common practice in earlier generations"? The fact that something isn't openly discussed rarely means it's not happening...
Absolutely was using the AIO image, with thumbnail generation enabled for every formats of my library (another thing you need to manually edit in Nextcloud’s configuration as by default the format list is limited).

And it’s only “pre-optimized” if you are cool with PHP memory limit crashes, PHP operation timeouts, PHP request size limits, and the works.

Another joy associated with using Nextcloud sync is that uploads don’t even seem to support multi-part resumable uploads. So not only is it crazy slow, if there’s any error during the auto-upload of a 2G video clip, or the app is temporally backgrounded by iOS, it’ll go into an exponential back off (which you can force start), and eventually just start the upload for that/those file(s) over from scratch - good ways to waste days burning in your screen while in a trip and trying to ensure your medias are backed up in case you lose your phone on a trip. Try uploading raw images & 4k clips shot on iPhone to Nextcloud using the Nextcloud app + the AIO image from abroad.

I’m telling you, I’ve tried to use them for quite some time, and I’m far from DevOps-illiterate - I’ve been using k8s since it’s infancy, we wrote the original Operators at CoreOS way back.
> I do not want government interference in a market place

This is just not the world we live in. The Play store is also malware-free, and yet you can sideload apps on Android phones.

Excuse my French, but uh what? A browser accessing a bank in a Linux virtual machine running on bare metal is by far more secure than desktop MacOS running on bare metal.

At the end of the day, for the activity you described (browsing), what you must be able to defend against is the inherent insecurity of the browser. Linux provides all manners of process, network, etc isolation via CGroups and can be enhanced by SecComp to limit the usage of typical exotic syscalls used in kernel exploits.

MacOS has what for that? The best opportunity you have for defense is to run qemu so that you can run... Linux. The corporation you work for doesn't use Apple because of their stellar security posture, it uses Apple because they can buy mobile devices (phones, laptops) preconfigured with MDM which saves a lot of money.
Same, I quit using Reddit when they killed Apollo. Their app is terrible.
I think it is like if you gave everyone spray paint cans and said go paint, you wouldn't expect all the buildings around to have giant Basquiat inspired murals everywhere.

How did you approach this, and how successful do you think it was? Do you have any tips?
Visual Studio 5-10 years ago with C#/.NET Intellisense was a great experience and high performance. I have yet to replicate that in the bloated Electron IDEs these days, there are still constant issues with autocompletion and navigation being slow or not working randomly for some reason even on my $3000 desktop PC from last year, I haven't found debugging (properly with breakpoints and variable tracking) to be viable compared to "printf debugging" since my Visual Studio days, and the UX of VSCode has not caught up to Visual Studio for bigger projects, file navigation is particularly awful and between the floating toolbars that disappear on a whim and ridiculously narrow scrollbars you'd think they're making it difficult on purpose.

It's an improvement from a certain baseline, but Visual Studio set a higher bar for me personally.

I use both an iPhone and a Motorola G Power 2020. My Moto came with absolutely zero bloat. It’s annoying they’ve tapped into that revenue stream but as long as it’s uninstallable I wouldn’t get too upset. The first thing I do on any phone is uninstall everything I don’t need. Even the iPhone had a bunch of Apple apps I have no use for.
> Dunno if you follow gaming news at all, but AI spam has become the rule if you look for anything on new popular games

At least in regards to game articles, this has been my experience for at least a decade. It wasn't AI spam, but it was spam everywhere non-the-less. I'm sure it's even worse now, but it was bad enough even 10 years ago that I've stopped bothering using google to find most game information years ago.
Don't they already use it for emergency purposes on the Iphone 14 and 15? For free on the new phones but I think it is getting subscription based soon.
It absolutely can, and it does not duplicate nor modify the medias. I mount my several TBs large library with the read-only flag in Docker.

I don't really know about sourcing market data, but this[0] page cites Deloitte and Pew:

>The global smartwatch adoption rate has reached an impressive 21.7% of the adult population

...

>The adoption rate of smartwatches is expected to continue growing, with industry projections suggesting that it will surpass 25% of the adult population shortly.

I don't believe a fifth or a quarter of the adult population could rationally be called 'niche'.

One of the big reasons I buy into the Apple ecosystem is for that next level of first-party interoperability. It works far better than any collection of more open systems I’ve even seen/used.

I don’t use Apple in spite of this, I use it because of this. Trying to support everything will likely lead to a worse experience for everyone in a multi-device world.

Apple is a hardware company making their own software to run that hardware, much like a game console. It seems like many of the criticisms here could be adapted and applied to Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation. Why can’t my PS VR work with my Xbox… it’s a Sony monopoly /s

There are areas where I think Apple can improve, such as right to repair and reliability in general. But it seems like some of what these governments are trying to kill is the very reason some people went to Apple in the first place. That doesn’t lead to more choice, it leads to less choice… as the government tries to turn iOS into an Android clone. Kind of odd that Apple is being told to act more like the platform that has the lead in global market share.
The possibility of your process dying at any moment is a fact of life on the Android platform and there is no way around it. Toggling wallpapers or dark/light theme is hardly the only situation in which the process will be restarted. Unfortunately you must do the work of saving and restoring user interface state yourself, and this is a very common cause of bugs for poorly architected native apps as well.

I'm not very familiar with Flutter development, but it appears there is some library support to handle this gracefully [1]. Good luck.
