It doesn’t support flex box? I really can’t tell what the purpose of this library is then.
I think the issues is that there isn't an obvious successor place - rather lots of different ones - lemmy, etc...

Mastodon recently blew past 15m users, though, so not nothing.
Wouldn't that rule out so many apps? E.g. Netflix competing with Apple TV, Goggle Photos vs Apple Photos, Google maps vs Apple maps, any note-taking app, camera, email client, browser, or weather app... What actually gets you rejected?
Same thing as Twitter, they think the power of these sites is the tech. It's not. It's the community and when you turn that into an EBTIDA growth engine it's going to rebel.
Does Apple have a rule that says beta apps aren't allowed on the app store?

As far as I'm concerned Microsoft cloud gaming is like a 1.0 version and works fine on Windows and Android. I had no idea it was a beta product until just now.
You keep bringing up MS Cloud Gaming, but there are others that are more established.

Luna can only support iOS by using Safari, for example.
this is where it differs from those SSG I guess, used vitepress a while ago, will reuse it later
What I want to see is that they remove the "special case" rule for software from the line. Let us decide what is R&D and not R&D. Right now the new rule says "all" software is R&D and that is where our biggest problem lies.
Many modern architectures have crypto extensions, usually to accelerate a few common algorithms, maybe it would be good to add a few crypto-primitives instructions to allow new algorithms?

The current state is far from usable, but the final goal would be to have multiple nested "hidden OSes" that can be booted and managed concurrently, depending on the provided password.
I don't think that Oioioioiio was saying that each person doesn't have intrinsic worth (quality, as you put it), more like that each of us has such a small piece of the puzzle now. In the past if you lost a community member who had critical knowledge and skills it would endanger the survival of the community. Now there aren't a lot of communities where that would be the case.
How do you avoid heavy fragmentation caused by random writes? Do you disable COW (sounds like "no", given you snapshot)? Or autodefrag (how's performance)?
Do you just strike up friendships with random people who message you?
Um, yes it will?

You pay the court clerk [1]. You either pay in person, or possibly online depending on the jurisdiction. If you aren't paying in person, you'll need to contact them directly anyway, and their contact info should be easy to verify. It's not like they're going to be sitting next to the detained party on the phone with a bitcoin deposit address.

Exactly; thank you.

I was definitely NOT thinking of unlimited.

I was thinking of 80chars, but excluding numerals (123, etc) and number text ("thousand", "million" etc.) and maybe a few other items excluded from the count, with a maximum of 100, or whatever number actually will not break the layout.

I've found it frustrating trying to fit in 80chars, and e.g., finding that ampersand gets expanded so it actually counts more than "and", so it is not a single-rule 80 chars; perhaps a few more sophisticated rules might help. Just a suggestion.
Another strike against the Flipper Zero!
Yeah but that’s a separate paid service tied to specific hardware, not so much an iPhone feature as an Apple TV and Watch feature. Garmin can integrate into HealthKit as well as any other fitness tracker.
So should those engineers in the UK and India get a pay raise then?
Did it occur to you that Apple deliberately designed iMessages in such a way as to take advantage of the inevitable tribalism to further increase adoption of their own products?

Peer pressure is one of the strongest forces in sales.
Feel free to not install their apps. Or in the case of the EU, feel free to only install apps from the official marketplace. That is your choice.

Other people should still be able to decide for themselves.
Pretty sure they aim to outsource 70% going forward so this isn’t as clever a joke as you would hope.
It's not really a hard problem.

Even if you argue that for example a phone and messaging app should/must be preinstalled on a phone, Apple could allow competing apps for that, and uninstalling or disabling the preinstalled one. Then it would be much harder to argue for that they are unfairly competing in the platform they provide.

Courts are used to arguing over problems where there are no hard lines, I don't think they take "there's no hard line" as an excuse to do nothing to enable competition.
Wouldn't what be faster?
I take the Amtrak pacific surfliner a lot and I've noticed that mac laptops will lightly shock me when they're plugged in. I think I've experienced this with 3 different computers over the past 6 years. Might be a useful data point, since I believe the train is an isolated power circuit independent from the power grid (the electricity is generated by the locomotive).
I'm in the same boat. I only ever log in periodically to see what's going on with r/AskHistorians, and then promptly run away.
Except then your "friend" will say they are traveling and they lost their phone (or it was stolen) and they have borrowed a phone from a friend, so you don't have a known good number to call them back.

In which case still call them back at the number you know is good. If they answer, you know the thing was a scam. If they don't answer, you don't know. Call known numbers of friends and family of the "victim" to find out if they really are traveling. This is not definitive, because the scammers might have called those people too.

I think the key to these situations is to ask questions of the "victim" that only the real person would know the answers to. They need to be questions about shared experiences that would not have appeared on social media. If they try to blow you off like "I'm under too much stress to think about such things right now!" hang up.

Also, consider asking your friends to let you know before they travel, and arrange with them a pass phrase they can say if they contact you for an emergency. Maybe a duress pass phrase too such that if they say it, you'll know they're in real trouble. Is this a pain? Is it too much to ask of many people? Yes and yes. But this is the world we're in now until we decide to start putting scammers in prison for long sentences.
This is fair, and it's a bit embarrassing but I copied the C version from an older tutorial without looking at it critical enough. Still, the Zig version gets the arguments as normal function parameters and doesn't need to call `PG_GETARG_*`.
> We only really take these up when they are blatant (price fixing, apple and books, MS and vendors).

Not anymore... look at the failed action to stop MS acquiring Activision for instance. Was that "blatant"? I guess not since enforcement failed. Lina Khan's whole thing is aggressively broadening antitrust enforcement.
Both Apple and Google are ruthless monopolies but when there was a post about an antitrust against Google you could’ve clearly seen a bias against them. Whereas Apple gets a free pass because their products are „cool”. This is a sad state of HN nowadays.

On the “downstream” side of this equation (managed services), the goal is to build a business that delights customers to the point where they part with their money to enjoy it. The ultimate goal there is naturally revenue and profit margin oriented, but _how_ you advance that goal matters a lot. In my experience, focusing on the customer first increases the chances of success.

When such a line of business has a core component that is open source, the growth and health of the “upstream” project, its developers, and the user community is an essential component in its continued success. This is why folks on the ElastiCache team has been increasing their investments in both the upstream project code and in helping to maintain it as a “community-led” project under the previous governance structure.

Those investments increased the provision of digital public goods (as open source licensed software is generally considered to be a “digital public good” even if it is not technically in the public domain). Increasing the provision of digital public goods is generally seen as in service of the public good, as it (more often than not) makes the world a better place.
[dupe] wasting our time OP

Lots of discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39746806
Doesn't help how even a legitimate investing platform often won't let you withdraw money immediately.
"The government also said Apple had tried to maintain its monopoly by not allowing other companies to build their own digital wallets. Apple Wallet is the only app on the iPhone that can use the chip, known as the NFC, that allows a phone to tap-to-pay at checkout."

NFC works fine with ChargePoint for example. There are APIs for app developers to take advantage of the chip if they want to use the functionality on their own hardware. This is merely about the level of abstraction that access is allowed to, and as a consumer, I appreciate Apple enforcing rigorous standards there vs dealing with 500 different buggy implementations.
You can't reply to text messages from other smartwatches, or at least not organically (only canned responses).
We can only trust their low birth rate stats, anything positive is to be rejected, right?
I can not use those SSGs as I want to keep some of my pages private, so I can login and edit and read myself(currently using wordpress for that with plugin). I wish some of SSG can do the simple CMS functions, but none that I found, can vitepress do that, i.e. having basic CMS support?
Here's a fun related article on Indistinguishability Obfuscation: https://cacm.acm.org/research/indistinguishability-obfuscati...

TL;DR verifying that 2 functions have the same output is really freaking hard.
But, some Apple apps do in fact tell you that. This actually does make sense, too. When you collect information for one specific reason, it doesn't mean the user has granted you consent to use it for other purposes carte blanche.

One might retort "Fine, but then granting that permission once is enough." Apparently, that is only true sometimes, and only for Apple.
There’s a recent (2023) novel translated from Japanese for which this is a central concept in the plot (since I read it in translation, I don’t know if Ikigai is mentioned in the original). It’s entitled What You Are Looking For Is In The Library by Michiko Aoyama. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1335005625/donhosek

I first learned of it thanks to reading all the shortlist books from this year’s Tournament of Books https://www.tournamentofbooks.com

> Apple itself offers a "super app" of course, which is the Apple ecosystem of apps.

Does Apple not let others offer a suite of apps?
Huh? I can filter notifications with third-party smartwatches. Did it on Pebble, Fossil, and others.
I don’t know where this idea that 30% is an unreasonable monopoly-sustained fee comes from. Stripe’s fee is 2.9% plus 0.30, so it would be way more than 3% on small purchases, which I assume are a lot of App Store transactions. Steams is 30% even though there’s compition (Discord tried to run a store with a 90/10 split and shut it down very quickly). Google Play is the same as Apple’s, and they allow other payment processors (for non-games). On the other hand, Audible has no competition, and they have a 75% fee (as in they keep 75%).

Most App developers aren’t even paying 30%, they’re paying the lower 15%.
You can keep any file in a google drive, but you can't (necessarily) keep things that are not files, but rather references to entities inside other applications.

This is why it's important for applications to have some kind of mechanism for exporting their data as files. But many don't.
You care if you're on mobile on a slow device with a poor network, a megabyte of slow loading javascript isn't great. That's about 50% of the planet by all accounts.

I think that is a false dichotomy the lawyers have created: have a slow moving system or a system where justice isn't served.

Our current system is slow and unjust. There are other options.

My wife and I tried to be foster parents, we did it for about three months, but everything was so slow moving. We had to spend 30 days just to have a piece of paper signed that no one contested. That moment opened my eyes to the corruption the lawyers have willfully constructed and willfully participate in and I have hated the entire legal profession since that moment. The system from the simplest cast to the most complex is designed to pad billable hours without concern for latency, justice, or consistency.

It is a sham system.

we got too attached and they exploited it. they are abusive assholes, but we need to let it go, heal, find/create new and better online/offline communities (and platforms).

Mastodon is quite nice!
These scams have been going on since before LLMs were passable in English convo, and I'll bet they're still using whatever human labor they had.
1. Presumably it’s equally likely causality flows in the other direction: WeChat took off before Apple instituted strict controls but the cat was already out of the bag in that market. WeChat is an exceptionally user hostile app, and arguing for more of it is anti-consumer. It’s probably the best example of what can go wrong if you require the freedoms that give rise to superapps.
> The entire premise of punishing a company for success when they haven’t violated any laws is insane to me

I'm not clear on what you're implying here, this is a lawsuit, so a punishment will literally only apply if the judge finds Apple in violation of the law.

Is your issue with the law not being 100% specific about this ahead of time? Because I would argue that it's by design - law should lag behind innovation (in both tech and business practices) rather than try to predict and potentially stifle it.
Unfortunately the Vue ecosystem has gone through several poor names for its libraries. One example is its state management library, Vuex. When it came to a new major release which would normally be a major version bump semantically, right?

What happened instead was… they essentially forked Vuex, renamed it Pinia (thus no longer even being at first glance related to Vue, or the Flux pattern it sort of uses).

The reasoning was illogical, something about worried people would be confused with its new API. Well I’ll take that to the next level and point out they didn’t simply fork and rename Vue when they released a new major version.

This led to very poor discoverability for sometime, I don’t know if that’s still the case as I decided to use React not longer after this because of all the nonsense in Vue.
The parent to which I responded literally said:

> Monopoly law needs to be reinterpreted in light of network effects.

This is the context of this discussion. If you think dragging me into details of the current law will distract me, sorry, no it won't. This thread is not about that.

> yet make false statements about what the law says

Now you are making false statements. I didn't say that the law says that. What's more, you dragged that piece of a sentence out of its context to make it appear as if it wasn't part of a question. But it was. So it's not a statement. It's a question. Is it a false question, maybe? Sounds a bit laughable to me.

Sure, but it's not like humans in all parts of the world haven't been proposing models for understanding happiness in some form or another since before the written word.

If it were possible to compare every model for happiness ever conceived, they'll likely have a few things in common. Mostly, they will propose factors that are familiar within a group's common frame of reference, those factors will address that group's common experiences and habits, and the formula will project a roadmap for making changes in those habits to realign the experiences with "happiness."

In other words, "we all tend to do one thing, but doing another is probably better, and it's easy to forget, so here's way to remember." If it's useful to anyone at all, it's of value. If it's useful to larger group, then a utilitarian might say it has greater value. But even the assessment of value is culturally-dependent, so it's kind of pointless to argue about the virtues of different models on the basis of their cultures of origin.

So of course different cultures present things differently. It doesn't have to mean anyone is losing the roots of their own culture. Foucault would argue that being anything other than a part of your own culture is impossible. Even if you reject your own culture, you're rejecting the culture you're a part of, and that becomes a part of that culture. You just can't _not_ be who you are, where you are, and a product of your experiences.

If the differences in habits among various cultures become more apparent in a direct comparison, that's mostly down to the different frames of reference that determine the signs and signifiers used to express and internalize the models. But within each culture, the mechanisms themselves are often fundamentally the same. We manage resources as a group, we figure out who's us and who's them, we defend the group against threats, and we generally aim to reproduce. Whatever else goes on, our culture is how we communicate among ourselves what to expect from each other as we all go about those activities. It gives us the language we use, which Pinkerton et al might go so far as to say shapes the very ideas we have about ourselves and each other, including our "secrets to happiness."

The point is, there are many models for understanding happiness. Some we know more about because they've established a large socio-economic footprint, like the major religions, and some are more academic thought experiments, like what the ancient greeks tended to get up to. Others are more directly products of and by their host culture. Ikigai is this. If people find it accessible and useful, that's nothing but great. Is it a very Japanese way of looking at it? Sure. Is it some innate universal truth and wisdom? I dunno, but I bet someone pushing that narrative has a book or a seminar to sell.

In any case, for most purposes, the meme is probably enough. Do what you can to do what you love, that you're good at, that helps you survive, that helps your group survive.

In "westerner" kindergarten, they simplify it even further: do only
what is necessary, helpful, and/or kind. Don't even need a graduate philosophy degree for that.
It really depends. With MacBooks, for example, many people who buy them these days do so because of things like battery life and quality of the trackpad, while quietly hating on macOS.
Burning 24.5 gallons of diesel makes 1 MWh of heat, so at 50% efficiency call it 50 gallons per MWh .

This makes the 6.2 MWh battery equivalent to about 300 gallons of diesel.

If you plug in this battery to charge at 1MW, it will take about 360 min to charge, so a 1 MW charging station is equivalent to a gas pump that pumps about one gallon per minute.

I do not think they are using the blue plugs shown in the picture for charging the battery. Those look like 480V 150A plugs to me, and those can only supply 0.077 MW. It is more likely those blue plugs are for "Shore Power" used while in port for stuff like like air conditioning, computers, cooking.

To charge something this big overnight you would want a more exotic type of plug, something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megawatt_Charging_System
You better give some references about this "checkered recent history" because for example the programs US had for Africa were removed by GWB in the beginning of century when there was still less then billion of people in Africa. Now there is close to twice as that and Africa is not able to feed itself because population is growing faster than its capacity to produce food.

Normally those who stand against birth control have some very clear political agenda to use the size of the population in their advantage.
I would like to see remote comp be structured with a flat base rate across geos, and then have bonuses for locality to corporate centers. If you feel that it is worth it, you can choose to live close to the office. A flat base rate across geos compensates folks doing the same work for the same pay.

Redis switches licenses, acquires Speedb
antitrust regulators haven't been acting in good faith for years. It devolved into a political game a long time ago. Part of it is the complexity of modern businesses - they simply don't understand what they are regulating. At that point the goal posts move.
That's one of the things I like about this complaint - it points out that they don't allow any other apps to support SMS, so only iMessage has the ability to message anyone with just a phone number, seamlessly upgrading if the other party has iMessage and using SMS otherwise.

It's not solely about iMessage not being open, it's about reserving key features for only iMessage to give it a significant advantage. (Also mentioned are other key bits like running in the background, etc)
Does a static site generator really need to produce a site with Javascript? Seems a bit self defeating.
Reddit Cofounder Says Site Was Built by a Horde of Fake Accounts
Nah, it's not a platform that generates money based off eyeballs scrolling through ads, keeping the interface front and center for longer etc.

Spotify optimises for music/podcast/audiobooks hours consumed or songs added to playlist/downloads etc. Being lost in the UI would very much be a negative signal in the data, and easy to separate out from "I love the app and am able to play the content I want" for any analytics team.
It is related to side loading. Apple for a long time disallowed side loading (even now it barely counts). So if you wanted to sell anything to iPhone users you had to go through Apple's store and potentially compete with them at a 30% tax disadvantage.

Even with the current side loading changes, which are EU only, they still take a major cut and still dictate who can and cannot run a store.

So I agree with you that the App Store, like other stores have the right to dictate what they do and do not sell. They do not, however, have the right to say that they're the only store allowed, or that any new store must pay them money.

Also, I'd be hesitant of using Google's behaviour, certainly its current behaviour or current market position, as justification for what is okay for others to do.
I do wonder about this. I struggle to believe that the average FAANG employee creates their salary in value. Companies are so flush with cash they are willing to bid up salaries across the board, but it seems like that is a management decision. You hear people openly speculating that Google could cut staffing by 50% with no impact to revenue, which seems about right to me.
