I get very little SMS spam, and they're usually filtered by Google Messages so I don't even notice.

I haven't worked with pgzx, but it's possible that memory management is easier. Zig uses memory arenas, and so does Postgres. If one can map directly to the other, it would be a huge win.

With Rust/pgrx (which I have used, extensively) memory integration is more difficult. There's pg memory, and there's Rust memory, and they're not the same, and you have to play games to pass data between them. Lifetime issues crop up. Rust might be able to solve the problem in the future with custom allocators, but it's just not there yet.

What we talk about when we talk about tech debt
Treat yourself as a marginal factor, not the totality. You bear some brunt for what's happening in your life- but not the majority of it. So focus on what's inside of your control.

I have a weird life. I've had years where all the wind was in my sail and life was bussin, bad bitches and making money. I've had years where literally nothing I did worked, everything was useless.

You'd be surprised how many variables are actually outside of your control. Does everyone love you? Does everyone hate you? People can and will blow hot and cold.

It's better to have a value set and just stick to it. Whether you want to be a CEO or live under a bridge. Anchor yourself in something worth believing in, even if attitudes around your values shift around.

This is how you maintain self-respect no matter how well or how poorly your life is going.
It's the "one at a time" that is the issue here. Evolution is a massively parallel process. If a beneficial mutation happens once every million gnerations, and a generation is 20 minutes, that's a beneficial mutation every 38 years. If you have a million cells, that's a beneficial mutation every 20 minutes. If you have a billion cells, that's 1000 beneficial mutations every 20 minutes. In your body there are around 40 trillion cells. There are something like 10^31 cells on earth.

A "simple" device isn't mutually exclusive with a configurable device. Just put it inside of the Settings app already available on the phone your mother already has. If she doesn't need it, she'll never see it.

I'd argue that the default experience for some is still too complicated; that's why Apple has Assistive Access, which lets you dumb it down:

I think this one explains why the mass adoption of the bicycle took so long. Before the era of precision manufacturing, each mechanical device had to be hand-assembled by an expert machinist who fine-tuned crude parts into a working device - meaning there were no drop-in mass-produced replacement parts. This would make maintenance and construction impractically expensive.
Your point is not based on laws though, you're just wishing the laws were different. Which is fine, but the process here should be to change the laws first instead of warping the current laws' definition to punish Apple first, collateral damage be damned.

>then it's hardcore illegal

You aren't a lawyer, you don't care about the laws as written, yet make false statements about what the law says according to how you feel anyways then back pedal when called out that it's not actually illegal. I think you've said everything you can.
Thanks for sharing this. I’ll be checking its potential as a base element for something like NativeScript or Node.js.

I think WoT is worth pushing through, you got stuck in the same spot a number of people do. There is definitely a lull there.

Many times I've considered re-cutting the books/audio-books for WoT to remove what I find to a be drudgery but it would be a massive task that I'm not up to. I just skip over the parts in my re-reads of the series.

I'll be the first to say that WoT has /many/ flaws but it will forever hold a special place in my heart. You just have to get past the way women are written in the series (and I understand if you can't). That's something else I'd be happy to prune out or ideally fix but that's well beyond my skill set. Elaine and Egwene especially are horribly written in the last few books (and it's not all Brandon Sanderson's fault I assume, they aren't great in the prior books either).
>You might, like me, feel Apple's App store walled garden is on balance a net positive, leaving me with almost no worries related to upgrade problems, my family's phones being compromised by malware, etc, or you might like many others hate the controls

You realize the app store can remain a walled garden, and users can be allowed to install their own applications right?

It's wild to me the number of people who argue for less freedom when the topic of Apple's walled garden comes up.

I will never understand why people who don’t like the apple ecosystem just simply don’t buy apple products. It’s just really strange to me that it’s considered to be a monopoly when no one is forced to use the platform, there are other options out there.
1. Samsung watch actually used to support iPhones. They dropped the support, likely due to business reasons and the limitations as described here
2. My naive understanding is that the question is not forcing anyone to support anything, but rather the ability to make it possible to do so. If Apple wants to have full support for Android phones, they are welcome to do so, but not vice versa -- nobody can possibly create a smartwatch that works as well as Apple Watch with iPhones.

"Over the past couple of years, we’ve heard from customers that whiteboarding tools like FigJam by Figma, Lucidspark by Lucid, and Miro help them work better together.

This is just more talking points to confuse.

The architecture that economists and climate scientists both agree will move the needle on this is a revenue neutral carbon tax. A revenue neutral carbon tax taxes carbon, and then returns 100% of that tax money back to people equally. Anyone who uses less than the average amount of carbon - which is a majority of the population - since the top users use so much, get paid in this scheme.

People might not want to pay, but they don't have to. Excessive users, the non-majority, pay. People, on average, don't pay - they get paid.

The architecture already exists, it's already law in certain countries, and anyone ignoring this fundamental reality is not being serious.
I used to use Shreddit and other tools and the same thing has happened. Even worse, they give me notifications if someone replies in a sub that didn't opt-in to archive mode (another dumb decision; should've been opt-out), but I can delete them.
Having worked with both on-premises and colocated infrastructure, then having to deal with the problems that come from not having cloud scale redundancy because it costs too much and requires a lot of ongoing maintenance.

It’s not really a question of trust, and you will have to define what you mean by trust. It’s a question of economies of scale, and the difficulty hiring and retaining people competent to manage infrastructure.

> You cannot buy something that doesn't exist or is otherwise unavailable.

Of course you can. Facilitating such a thing is Kickstarter's entire business model, as an example. You can also refrain from buying, communicating to other people that "I'm not buying your product unless you..." which gives really strong incentive to do things differently.

It's not like government is some kind of magical thing. It's just people. And in the case of democratic government, it's the very same people.
Google is losing a lot of ground in the office productivity space. I can see Docs, Sheets and Slides being wound-down in the next few years as the distance between these tools and Office widens.

The only advantage for the above tools is that they are vastly cheaper for an organisation that is already part of Google Workspace — than switching to Office. It is appealing for small businesses and start-ups, but not much else.
> my workflows depended on sideloading some obscure app

And if your workflow did require an obscure app, who is Apple to decided that you cannot install it on your own phone?

> But I chose iPhone (and I think many other customers do) specifically for it being a walled garden.

People like this walled garden since apple promises that it's safe and they deal with all of the problems for you. But time and time again we see that their App Store features outright scams and mountains of knockoff garbage apps.

People buy into the marketing of the walled garden, not the reality of it.

>> the status quo (30%)

Why is this number so bad? Steam: 30% https://medium.com/@koneteo.stories/how-much-money-does-stea...

>> In the absence of fair competition, the best comparison I can think of is credit card processing which is about 3%

Sure 3%, + a flat fee of .02 to .10 per transaction. that flat portion is going to be HUGE if your charing under $5 for something. You get none of that money back for chargebacks, or refunds. And if your charge backs are high your going to pay more as a % or get dropped so your going to have to hire CS people to answer emails or phones, and say nice things to angry people. You're going to pay someone to pay cc compaines to give money back.

Meanwhile you're small, you have no clue if the person on the other end is a refund scammer. Apple (and Steam) have this habit of telling people to "fuck off" if they refund scam. They have the weight with CC processors to do that. you will not. They also have customer trust, because if your product (game/app) is shitty they give customers money back (See Epic 1/2 billion settlement for being bad about this, and kids).

Is 30 percent high. It is. Is it unreasonable... meh maybe not?
Even if this eventually fails, I'll be very happy to read all the internal Apple documents that come out of this. It's going to be fun.
But we know the cost of providing app store services is quite low, so the convergence price is as high as the other party willing keep it at. If Apple lowered its cut to 8% tomorrow, Google would follow suit because it is still enough money to run the Play Store with. For video game consoles, the margins are slim (or negative), so the current cut is the natural price that lets developers sell games for a profit and the hardware companies to subsidize consoles to a level that people can afford them.
It took about 1 second to realize that "80 characters" and "unlimited" aren't the only two options.
So, like ... cotton?

Didn't work in Europe. The alternative browser growth in Europe is massive. Literally, an industry revitalized overnight.
I'll give this a shot, thank you!
I wanted you to provide links to what you have seen happen, like you said you had.
I mean, I thought the title of the article was already click baity garbage but thought I should give it a chance anyway.

There's not "one idea" to "save american democracy", american democracy is in disarray for a multitude of reasons and you need a lot of systemic changes some of which should probably take decades of transition to eventually arrive to something that we could hold as a great democratic ideal. Not to mention the efforts needed to be put in improving civil-education within the society.

But, then the article begins by putting Trump "and his allies" in a kind of "the evil that needs to be defeated" position. One might not like Trump, but he was the President of the United States; he was voted in by people, by the system and for a reason. He is not a "one-off" phenomenon but one that actually shares similarities with other leaders through out the entire world; a lot of them with different political systems. So obviously this is something that runs much deeper.

In any case, the idea in question is "solidarity". Basically turn America into a european-style social democracy. Well, guess what, social democracies in Europe are also going through a crisis so this idea, while improving american lives greatly and one I completely support, is not going to "save american democracy".
Yup he did. This was a year or so ago and it was the funniest thing I've ever done.
Cute revisionist puff piece about Steve Huffman, moderator of r/Jailbait
I still use some tech subs but I used to dumbscroll the main page for inane things to laugh at. What was on there changed over time and it was well past the high point, but maybe a year or six months ago I just couldn't do it. The stuff you describe was always part of the /r/all mix but now that is all there is. There's nothing fun on there anymore, at all.

lemmy is probably to left leaning for my taste but at least the main page still has lots inane and funny things as well as more of a tech focus.
What an amazing tool, wish it had a GUI version as well.
We need a proactive and inquisitive press that questions PR and asks these companies to clarify why they say what they say. Our current media simply reports “In a statement, Company X said Y” and leaves it at that.
Yeah this stuff usually ends up "I don't like the interface" when you press people. Which is fine. However my macbooks have been perfectly serviceable and still ticking while my former asus and dell laptops died after a few years right before I switched over to mac laptops and one is 7 years old and still ticking with not too bad battery life. That said I find apple has probably overstepped their social contract as a corporation and it's likely time for a little audit
I've read a lot of SciFi but there was something special about Vernor Vinge IMHO. Something about the way he wrote and what he wrote about that "unlocked" various concepts for me. I'd have to sit down and think about them to list it all out but I can trace my interests in a number of concepts back to his books.

You realize that when you add appstores like Cydia to an iphone that you immediately open them up into gaping security holes right?

I assume you have never managed the devices of teenagers or a large group of millenial office workers.

To me, it being closed is an absolute feature that I value.
So many endless repost-bots :-/
As long as we're getting efficiency cores and such, maybe we need some "crypto cores" added to modern architectures, that make promises specifically related to constant time algorithms like this and promise not to prefetch, branch predict, etc. Sort of like the Itanium, but confined to a "crypto processor". Given how many features these things wouldn't have, they wouldn't be much silicon for the cores themselves, in principle.

This is the sort of thing that would metaphorically drive me to drink if I were implementing crypto code. It's an uphill battle at the best of times, but even if I finally get it all right, there's dozens of processor features both current and future ready to blow my code up at any time.
Similarly, I replied to someone suggesting they pay for a service and I received multiple replies suggesting I kill myself.

This wasn't on some random Marxist community, this was on one of the big tech communities.

>Abusing your ecosystem is one thing (ex. defaulting to Apple Maps for location links, only allowing Safari as default browser), but not allowing 3P app stores seems perfectly within a company's rights.

Is taxing every purchase on your platform for 30% not abusing your ecosystem?

>I think that is the issue. Android offers (nearly) all of the same functionality and yet people still choose iPhone.

iMessage is a non zero cause of this, and looking at the percentage of teens with iPhones, 85+%, likely a colossal cause. Which directly falls into Apple abusing their ecosystem.
People making good money tend to not, as a cohort, drive 8 year old cheap cars.

And of course ymmv between companies, regions, facilities or projects. There are software people trapped maintaining stupid legacy insurance code and similar dreck too.
I love how whenever Apple makes a clearly anti-trust move it's always about privacy.

That would be true, if Apple couldn't literally write any TOS they want that allows other App stores or billing methods and then add "but you can't include tracking that invades our users privacy or resell their data".

That's just as enforceable on their end, and not anti-competitive, assuming Apple themselves don't launch their own ad platform and tracking...
The Elon-hate is so crazy to me.

He pitched in a lot of cash at a do-or-die moment in Tesla's history.

He then served as the CEO and driving force through some extremely lean and tough years, including working like hell to raise capital (which isn't optional if you're making cars)

Would we have Tesla today without Musk? No. Would electric cars be ubiquitous if it was up to the likes of Ford, GM, Mercedes, Toyota to push the tech? No.

It is, of course, entirely OK to dislike him - but at least admit his contributions.
From the abstract, it is suggested that for some tasks AI was a benefit, but for others it actually made things worse.

So can we know which are which, and what are the relative value adds of these task groups? Where does an overall cost benefit analysis land, bearing in mind the high costs of AI.

It's for sure the question that a lot of people have. Initially we had more details about that in the blog post, but we didn't want it to become a "Zig vs Rust" blog post, so we kept it to a minimum.

I will expand just a little bit more here:

First, I think the fact that Rust can be a trusted language for Postgres is a huge advantage, and I am excited about it! I hope we will have the chance to use it and contribute to pgrx as well.

Postgres is not only written in C, but it has developed its own particular style of C code. For example: arena memory allocator (memory contexts), exceptions via setjmp/longjmp (ereport), single-threaded communicating via shared memory, SPI for accessing the data via SQL, etc. Some of these mechanisms kind of conflict with the way Rust likes to do things.

Because of the above, pgrx has to do harder work to expose functionality. It's possible, just a lot of work. In Zig, we can use pretty much anything directly or with small wrappers.

If you need to call into C a lot, you need to use unsafe, and that negates some of the memory safety advantages of Rust. Also, Rust unsafe code is harder to write.
No, this was widely reported in mainstream Canadian media.
