It's understood that you can install random APKs from anywhere. As a hobbyist developer, I want to be able to set up a GitHub pipeline and then just download my APKs from that without fighting Apple or paying for an Apple developer account.

I'm actually open to buying an iPhone as well, iPhones are much better when it comes to music production, by understand I have to abide by Apple's rules and not be able to install my own software.

That hasn't been the case with Safari in a long time, has it? And of course, users can't switch to a browser they believe works better.
Discord is probably the biggest black hole sucking up all kinds of communities right now but that doesn't mean that there aren't others. Old-school forums are still a thing even if less visible these days.

That then becomes a hiring problem as that's limiting it to one geographic area. If it falls out of favor in 5 or 10 years, it's really hard to move the company. I've seen effective remote teams, but it requires a high degree of independence from everyone. Typically, it's also much harder for people early in their careers.
The difference is uptake. Julia's good and it's out there, but relative to the users of Python... How many people care how portable the Julia code they aren't writing is? The existence of a tool to jit-compile Python is more useful to a lot more engineers than the existence of another language that is nicely jit-compileable.

shurg Make a free version which keeps all data locally AND uploads a copy to your cloud (at least for internet-connected machines). Upsides:

- Marketing / visibility: You're a repository of free designs

- Network effects: If people want to reuse designs, they will standardize on your tool

- Training data. Want to know a pin on a given chip is SCK or 3.3V? Or which pins, by default, to connect between a USB chip to program a microcontroller? That's in your library.

- Component library. If I make a footprint, Spice model, and 3d model for some part, you can get it for free for use by paying customers.

Yes, it can be circumvented. But the truth is 75% of businesses won't break your license anyway. Some will (and there's an obsession with dongles and what not), but those are mostly tiny fly-by-night operations which aren't likely to buy a $12k license anyway.

It is a lot of work, and I'm not advocating for where this should fit on your priority list, or how much is needed in an MVP. Just that you should consider this as perhaps the right long-term model.

I'm curious, when did you think patients had to take immunosuppressants?
This depends on one important question: What is the relevant market? This is a fundamental question in all antitrust law cases:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relevant_market

If the relevant market is found to be "Apps on iOS", or "Flagships phones in the US", Apple is more likely to be considered having a monopoly position than if the market is "phones in the world". The courts will have to decide on what the market is before deciding if Apple has monopoly power or not.

Entitled mods... you mean the people who work for free to make reddit work? I'm not a mod and I don't have very strong opinion of reddit moderators one way or another (many do), but I think reddit would do well not to make mods angry. They are an unpaid work force.
iMessage is the most egregious monopolistic tool in Apple's garden.

If the DOJ accomplishes nothing else besides forcing Apple to open up iMessage, it will be a victory.

The lock-in of having functional communication with your friends and family is insane. Take that away and it becomes almost a no-brainier for people to consider competing devices.

And no, nobody with an iPhone is interested in switching to whatever messaging app you beg them to use, just so they can message you.

Facebook doesn't just serve ads. They have high quality identity and market data on their users that is very appealing to advertisers looking to spend their money on specific targets. I don't think reddit is currently able to supply advertisers with data of that quality. I assume forcing people to sign up with an email or use the app instead of the website are attempts at bridging that gap.
Biden's challenger was in office at the time when the Justice Department started the investigation.
There are too many quotes 'from Apple management' in the compliant that need context. Something doesn't add up.

https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24492020/doj-apple-an...

Either that, or Apple's management has become truly rotten. That would be the saddest realization.
I think Apple’s argument would be that making choices as to what you sell and for what price more or less is the core of what running a company is. If users don’t like the choices they make, they can shop elsewhere. That’s capitalism 101.

That brings us back to the question whether they’re a monopoly. The justice department seems to say they have a monopoly on iOS, so that users cannot shop elsewhere.

If such a thing can exist, of course they have a monopoly on iOS, just as Coca Cola has one on Coca Cola, Mercedes has one on Mercedes cars, etc. Next question would be whether they misuse that monopoly.

Apple will argue that ‘a monopoly on iOS’ doesn’t make sense as a concept and that, if you want to run Firefox or Chrome on a smartphone, there’s plenty of choice in the market, and even if there weren’t, there’s no obligation for them or any company to make a product that users want.

In the end, the outcome of this will depend less on logical arguments than about what ‘the people’ want. Laws and their interpretation will change if the people want that. That, I think, is what Apple should be worried about.
My observation is that you will make the biggest difference in your education. You will get out what you put in unless you are gifted.

Next difference is in-school opportunities, but this might be less important for a BS CS versus physics.

Don't ignore your non degree interests. They can make college life much better.

What on Earth gives you this ridiculous idea? "Grooming" certainly isn't a euphemism. It is an entirely accurate and descriptive term.
> That's why I switched to iPhone and have no desire to switch back.

Yes, Apple has exactly one competitor in the phone space and their offerings are lower quality so you get an iPhone.

So... they have a dominant market position... and they abuse it.
I worry that this sort of technology is going to lead to webapps that aren't really what we've grown to think of as "the web" but which will instead be closer to a VNC window where you just see pixels and can't interact with anything or see how stuff works in devtools.
So if there are 2 competitors and one drops out, then it's hardcore illegal, but otherwise it's a-okay?
Apple getting sued in the US and EU is really about finding an equilibrium between 3 stakeholders - Apple, Users & Developers. The status quo favors Apple and Users. Developers led by companies like Epic just want a bigger piece of the pie. That's it.
To nitpick, FPGAs are COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) components since a single
FPGA can be bought to be used in a huge number of different products. An Application Specific Integrated Circuit is designed for use in a single product, as the name says. A classic example were the two big chips Apple designed for the Apple //e to replace the large number of TTLs used by the Apple ][+.

To be fair, more people use the term ASIC wrong than right.

> do whatever crappy contract work you can find on your laptop to keep yourself in the game.

Ha ha so true!

I entered tech in 2000, right as everything was going down. Hey, it was fun for the 8 months I worked for what we now call a startup in Miami. They closed abruptly, and luckily I was able to get another job within about 4 months.

The market in tech is definitely worse than 2020 (I don't know why some here say those were the days of wine and roses) and I was always able to find work during the financial crisis, though it could take a couple of months. So, I'd say that the job market for tech is not as bad as the dot com crash but worse than 2009 or 2020.

But doesn't that reduce to a point where something useful becomes from separate useless components?

In your case, why would a flagella be useful if it's not propelling something? A flagella is only useful as a component of something, but not by itself.
You can't reach Discord users that way.
Let’s hear some examples? Even things like iMessage have fallback to SMS, not to mention dozens of alternatives that work on android, iOS and more. What’s the problem?
It's really worth a read about what that case was actually about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Cor....

It's reasonably clear why the Microsoft case was different

> The U.S. government accused Microsoft of illegally monopolizing the web browser market for Windows, primarily through the legal and technical restrictions it put on the abilities of PC manufacturers (OEMs) and users to uninstall Internet Explorer and use other programs such as Netscape and Java.

Microsoft made deals with other companies to restrict competition. Apple doesn't need to make up a contract to prevent NFC payments as they just don't offer it in the first place. The Microsoft case actually has a lot more similarities to why Google lost the Epic case, by Apple won.

> that will actually make some changes to stop the 30% commission scam once and for all.

No. The change they should make is to allow sideloading. I don't care if the developer pays less than 30% when Apple can still censor what I run on my phone.
Apple’s 26% is a net margin - I’m sure their gross on an iPhone is a healthy amount
Yes, traps are put in random places. At least they can't be placed on water, grass or ash, so are safer sections to go through without doing search before each step.

That's why it's a really good idea to collect 4 Scrolls of Mapping for levels 1-24.

"It just works" except I have to remember to not pay inside the app to get the cheapest price because the app price is 30% higher to pay the Apple tax. I need to open my laptop to buy a Kindle book instead of continuing to use my phone.

Small, minor, annoying issues as a customer that make me think slightly less of Apple while continuing to be in awe of their hardware.

That is the biggest surprise to me. I had assumed getting around the deadbolt would require a locksmith or breaking the door. (What's the point of it otherwise?)

I get a lot of scammers on my IG account messaging me. Typically they're the profiles of young women. A lot of the time, I verbally insult them or ask how the cat fishing is going. My favorite is telling them to stand in front of a mirror with the current date written on a piece of paper. Since they're all ESL, they fail this hard.

But one time, I decided to see how far I could take it.

Had a scammer message and follow me on IG. I went ahead with it. We kept it going for about a month which escalated to sending pretty scandalous pictures.

The scammer asked to me my d*ck. Full disclosure, I'm a pretty average 5.5 inches. Instead of sending a real picture of mine, I found one online of some guy who had a massive slong held next to what looked like a 7/11 big gulp cup for comparison.

I sent the pic to him and immediately the scammer reveals himself and threatens to reveal my messages and pic to my other followers on IG unless I send him some Bitcoin.

I chuckle and say, "go for it".
Now my friends all know me really well and wouldn't be phased by this. My buddies I went to school with know my size because of the sports teams I played on with them and they thought it was the funniest thing in the world.

The girls all immediately began talking amongst themselves and I started getting hit on by acquantances that followed me.

Was probably one of the funniest stunts I've ever done.

I think they'll claim security for Messages. I don't have nearly enough information to know if they can win that particular issue, and it sounds like there are reasonable arguments on both sides. But they don't have a monopoly on messaging — WhatsApp is huge, Signal and others exist. I don't think Apple lets you use Siri to send messages via other services, or at least they didn't used to let you. But other than that they are granted near parity on iOS.
As a Canadian this was pretty embarrassing.
Fast fashion is horrible. That article really shows on aspect of it. It has turned a large chunk of a recycling process into dumping.
> If they're really providing a service for end users, they shouldn't be taking such a large cut from developers.

Bingo. If they're making an argument that they have to retain so much control because it's good for the users, then why are their margins so big?

I'm not saying companies shouldn't be able to run successful, highly-profitable businesses.

I'm saying they shouldn't be able to (a) have significant market share, (b) have significant size / market cap, (c) have high margins, AND (d) claim "but we're so efficient for our users!" as a defense against anti-trust.

One of those things is bullshit, and 3 out of 4 are facts...
It's weird that the focus is so heavily on businesses and alleged harms to businesses (to ie, scam customers with hard to cancel renewals).

One reason folks LIKE apple is because apple has the market power to do things that yes - hurt other businesses but that make the consumer experience better.

When I get my iphone it's not loaded with carrier crap. Seriously, android you might be getting tons of carrier junk on your phone.

When I go to cancel a subscription its super easy. Apple even REMINDS me to cancel if I delete an app with a subscription tied to it (ie, that renews annually). They also notify me in ADVANCE of renewals to let me cancel.

Trial offers with higher renewing rates, the renewal rate is at the same font size and right in the payment acknowledgement for any trials.

And the list goes on.

Look at this against the lack of enforcement against totally blatant scams (billions) from the elderly. Total ripoffs and dark patterns - unconcealable subscriptions etc etc. Of all the consumer harm - apple should be way way way down on the list.
Uhh yeah, I don't think anyone should be able to veto anyone's construction project. I do think that people should be able to veto (or at least protest) construction projects like ones that pipe toxic chemicals through their drinking water.

I mean, you can say that's "only in cases you support" dismissively, but I call it "dependent upon the facts of the situation."
I don't know the current status, but iOS's design meant apps at least used to be _far_ more efficient than the equivalent Android, and thus Apple could ship lower end hardware to deliver the same or better performance to the end user. The was a measurable fact, thus objective.

The same is still somewhat true for macOS where for the average web browsing user, macOS + Safari needs less memory than you would need on Windows. This is also a fact, but it doesn't help power users.
I'm sure you've seen this before, but only the US uses text messages any more.

The rest of the world is on cross platform apps and couldn't care less what their friends type from.
I guess that argument makes sense, but then don't expect a high return rate or complain "I've applied to THOUSANDS and nothing! What gives?"

The last time I was in the market was September and I didn't have much trouble (I got a solid offer but decided it wasn't time to move yet). If things have changed in the past 6 months then yeah, I don't have firsthand experience in todays market. But I always see people complaining about this kind of stuff so I'm used to writing it off. If you think its gotten that bad I'll take your word.

I'm also in the market as a senior, went to a big name university and have been at a few companies that everyone knows so my experience being choosey may be different than others.

I guess this is some high-handed attempt at a put-down.

If someone is having trouble getting a response and answers by "well if I do it more with even less filtering then maybe one will come through" I think less of their problem solving. Although I am persuaded by what you said originally so I guess its not as terrible of a strategy as I was first thinking.

I would also compare it to mating. If you're on a dating app and write love letters to every girl who's profile you like you will get roughly 0 dates (this being the "spend hours applying" approach). If you are confident, believe you're the prize and try to find girls you're a match with then you will have a lot more success.
This is saying 58% of Walmart's sales are groceries. Not 58% of grocery sales are through Walmart.
Wait seriously? I thought you were joking/hyperbolizing. That's hilarious.
I don't get it.

You build a successful product that people love, gain an important position in a market you basically created, offer a closed marketplace for apps to further provide value to your core product, again this is a resounding success and people vote with their $$$ to subsidize your growth.

In the meantime, your competitor comes up with their own product and marketplace. Consumers are able to freely choose between both.

Now your company is forced by the gov to integrate your products with the competition's inferior marketplace. Why? How is this not overreach?

EDIT: easy to downvote, why don't you give me answers instead

> Under Bush illegal immigration was higher than Obama. Understanding Bush and Republicans of the time "pro business" mantra of the era that makes sense, businesses wanted to pay lower wages. Bush helped them out.

I don't see either of the parties in the USA having much difference in ideology about being pro-business, one is just more corrupt about it but both are pretty right-wing in the pro-business ideology. One just tries to pay lip service to the idea of being more socially-conscious but in the business arena it's just that, lip service.

> Obama was in Afghanistan longer than W. All 8 years vs what 6.5 for Bush? War is bipartisan. Who do you vote for if you object to the current wars for example? Who should you of voted for if you objected to any of the previous ones? The majority of the duration of these wars they lacked popular support, the vote to end them wasn't provided as an option.[0]

Completely agree, war is just another business for the USA.

Overall as an outsider the political landscape of the USA is a mess and pretty much undemocratic, two parties cannot ever represent the different interests of 340+ million citizens across a landmass spanning a continent. Since both parties are in cahoots with the military industry it doesn't really matter what citizens want or think about it, there's no other option, both will support it.
I'm sure there's an argument to justify making it super complicated to move your Whatsapp content from IPhone to Android, but at the time I was having to dump the Whatsapp DB to recover the last messages from a dead relative it sure seemed like a convenient way to encourage people to stick around.
> I am curious if there’s been any work on _semantic_ diff tools as well (for when eg the syntax changes but the meaning is the same)

So when using such a diff tool you can spend hours refactoring something, and then git will refuse to commit your changes because your refactoring was successful in not changing the behavior of the code? I understand what you mean, but if we arrive at that point maybe we should stop calling it "diff", to avoid confusion...
If successful, this is great. However, I would like to see how long this lasts. I can recall seeing similar stories with either a rejection at the end, or some negative outcome for the patient.
Friends will still talk to you. But they won't include you in group messages because apple purposely sabotages group messages with anyone outside the garden.

Unsurprisingly, a lot social planning and banter happens in those group messages.

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests?scope=... would disagree as would the top section of every release notes post showing which community member made the biggest contribution to that GitLab release.

You are welcome to find GitLab lacking (there's currently at least 66500 people who agree with you), and "compelling" is up to you, but to say it's not a full featured competitor to GitHub is disingenuous
This is an amazing piece of work. Thanks for making this open-source.

The default way of generating beautiful PDFs in the backend these days is, running a headless browser and using browser APIs to turn HTML/CSS into PDFs. And apparently, it's a bit costly running instances of browser in the server and scale it properly for huge workloads.

This is literally a game changer. Now it's possible to design PDFs using HTML/css and generate them without the browser overhead!
Isn't it federated? How could global moderators decide what's visible on all instances?
