I've always seen these buttons as a spyware and as a a way to get "engagement" at all costs, so it doesn't surprise me that Mastodon doesn't have them as it isn't based on such a disgusting business model.

As to why Threads doesn't push them, I wouldn't be surprised if changes to browser privacy controls mean that their spying potential nowadays has been reduced to a level where it's no longer worthwhile.

My dealbreaker for kotlin is that it’s possible to call a throwing function with no indication it will throw. In swift, the compiler forces every throwing function do be inside a try/catch block or be called by another throwing function.

It would be the "right thing to do"™ if New York already didn't collect tax on the vehicles purchased. These include - registration fee, vehicle plate fee, county use tax, sales tax, title certificate fee of $50.00 and MCTD fee (see https://dmv.ny.gov/registration/how-estimate-registration-fe... and https://dmv.ny.gov/registration/sales-tax-information ). Collecting a toll for using a road in addition to all these taxes and fees paid to the state is just another kind of recurrent tax - but how fair is it to pay tax for the same thing, again and again (kind of like "double taxation")?

In India, we specifically pay a separate "road tax" to the State when purchasing a vehicle ( https://indianauto.com/stories/road-tax-india-different-stat... ), and the idea behind it is that the government needs money to build and maintain the road. Despite this, in the last 2 decades, the government has also introduced tolls on many state and national highways. In another decade or two, I expect even city corporations and municipalities to make road use a "subscription service" for all vehicle owners. /s

I am not an expert in this so I can't explain it in any truly deep detail, and you might be right in terms of "Masking" the identity of the card number if you think this is a privacy feature, but there is much more to it than security theater of a per-device DAN.

Both when using EMV Contactless and when using Apple Pay on the web, some kind of dynamic and/or encrypted data is signed by the secure element of the device. EMV Contactless definitely signs the whole transaction, with Apple Pay on the web in at least some cases it will use either a dynamic CVV code and/or "cryptogram" containing the transaction data similar to the contactless protocol that verifies that specific payment request was signed by the secure device/card.

The payment processors can use this to know the transaction is freshly authorised and is not a replay of a skimmed credit card number/CVV (whether skimmed from another apple pay transaction, or skimmed from entering the static physical card details).

On the merchant/processor side, I believe in some cases you may get a better rate or different fraud protection for such transactions (especially at a large scale), or, it will also factor into the fraud control and the bank/payment network/etc are less likely to reject such a payment as fraud where as it may be more likely to reject the static physical card details as fraud, etc.

If someone knows better or different then please do share.

We had a Kotlin app written with view bindings and the various other bits and pieces of Android app stack “no now this thing” detritus over the years. I hated it. I cut my teeth on 20 years of smalltalk, so it wasn’t even the “let’s hate on OO now” thing. It was just so much unfinished/inconstant things.

We have been porting to Jetpack Compose, and I really like it. It’s still got some growing pains. We don’t use ViewModels, hardly any Flow stuff, just mutable states and render trees and I’ve been pretty pleased. What makes me happiest is that it’s much more consistent. I don’t feel like I’m in a line at the DMV anymore; “oh you need that, go stand in that line and learn that stack, then come back”.

Like you, I’m extremely skeptical about the multiplatform siren. We tried it in Smalltalk land. The Java guys tried it and failed. I tried Flutter for a couple of apps, early testing iOS users were totally turned off (so fine for internal simple utility apps only). I would love it if someone really succeeded. We have 2 Swift UIKit apps I’ll have to convert to SwiftUI someday. So I will wish all that try well, but I’m not holding my breath at all.

> EMV Contactless definitely signs the whole transaction, with Apple Pay on the web in at least some cases it will use either a dynamic CVV code and/or "cryptogram" containing the transaction data similar to the contactless protocol that verifies that specific payment request was signed by the secure device/card.

The same is true for chip card payments.

What makes Apple Pay significantly more secure in practice is that issuers can limit the device-specific card number to be only usable with a chip cryptogram, and not e.g. by manually typing it in on a website.

For POS and online payments, the idea was the same (eventually depreciate cryptogram-less use entirely and use 3DS online and chip/EMV at the POS), but alas, it never quite happened that way.

> On the merchant/processor side, I believe in some cases you may get a better rate or different fraud protection for such transactions (especially at a large scale)

Apple Pay usually shifts the liability for fraud to the issuer, yes. This is a huge advantage for merchants that would otherwise usually be on the hook for most types of fraud.

I see it as mostly influenced by the language and tooling. From there, some people will be more attracted by one side or the other, but when moving stack you tend to follow the stack's natural incline.

For instance ruby helps to have shorter, less verbose code, but with more hidden components. Rails rose from there, tooling tends to support that style. I've seen java devs moving to ruby and naturally writing less verbose code.

In contract Java tooling makes it a lot more manageable to write 40 character long classes, deeper dependency trees and injections and potentially auto-generate half of the needed methods. The cost is low, and there's less incentive to fight that trend when tools help you abstract part of it.

It actually is most of the time, but it’s often a placeholder amount (some POSes let you tap before the check is finalized), so it’s too unreliable to display in the wallet directly.

The phone would also not have any way to verify if the terminal actually sent the payment online, causing confusion in case of having to tap again (that would then look like a double booking).

> Your plastic card had no way of dealing with that information.

You'd be surprised! Plastic cards can do all kinds of elaborate things, like deduct that amount from an offline transaction balance, replenishing that balance the next time it gets to talk to the issuer during a chip-dipped payment (assuming the card is still in good standing), update currency conversion rate tables used abroad, maybe even play doom – but probably not all of them.
Photos involve creativity. Photos that don't involve creativity aren't usually considered copyrightable by the courts (hence why all copyright cases I followed include arguments that establish why creativity was a material to creating the work).

Weights, on the other hand, are a product of a purely mechanical process. Sure, the process itself required creativity as did the composition of data, but the creation of the weights themselves do not.

It does not. To quote Wikipedia [0]:

> employees are promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another.

That does not translate to or imply that:

> The peter principle assumes that competence in one role automatically translates to less competence in a higher role.

It is saying you will keep getting promoted until you are incompetent. You can be more competent at a higher role without violating the Peter Principle. That would be another point at which you would be promoted working your way towards incompetence. The Peter Principle just says you were competent at each step in the ladder until you got to the point you weren't promoted anymore because you are incompetent at it.

You're then take another logical leap in saying that promotion to the next level means you are competent at every job on every career path that could get you to that level. The Peter Principle only talks about your own career path.

My mom's parents were relatively old when they had her, and my dad's parents were relatively young when they had him. I had a set of 'old' grandparents, and 'young' grandparents.

My mom's parents were gone by the time I was 24 - I didn't really ever get a chance to interact with them as an adult. My dad's father passed away when I was 39, but I had many visits with them as an adult while he and my grandmother were still pretty active. My grandmother is now 94 and not in great health, but still with us, still mentally there. When I was in 5th grade, they came to 'grandparents day' at my school, and she won 'youngest grandmother', but wouldn't come up on stage to accept the award! ;)

I bought this book on Audible based on a random recommendation, not really knowing anything about it. On the page to buy it, it said it was released in 2020. I spent the first 80% of the book thinking that it was written in the 2010s, but intentionally written as if it were the 1980s. That is, with explanations that didn't presage the development of the Internet, and using analogies that would be understood by the people of that era. I was impressed with how perfectly the author was able to channel that era without anachronism, and even told a couple friends about this.

When I learned it was written in the 1980s, I wasn't exactly shocked. But then, I learned it was written by the Klein bottle guy, and that really was shocking. It's become one of my favorite books.

Vectorization was never invented by Clickhouse; they all root at the work done by CWI in MonetDB, then VectorWise, then more recently in DuckDB (and Velox). Velox also does not claim to have invented any of these techniques; the novelty claimed by the project is to do so in a modular way so that it can be reused while building any other engines (engine-agnostic), following any SQL dialect (dialect-agnostic).

Could you list the "copied" ideas you are referring to?
They work using contactless EMV, which is the same way contactless credit cards work, and is the standard behind Visa/MC's Paywave and Paypass products.

This is why wireless terminals in general just work with apple and google pay and actually didn't need much in thw way of special support. From what I recall one of the few things that did change was raising of payment limits for these devices over contactless cards, because they are deemed more secure (can't be used by just anyone that happens to have stolen it).

> Why are these apps so hard/impossible to replace by open-source alternatives?

EMV implementations are non-trivial and need a lot of testing and validation using specialised equipment. There need to be secure enclaves on the device to hold private keys in a way that can't easily be compromised. The app needs to interact with the phone in such a way as it can tell that biometric or PIN-based unlocks have been used so that it can vouch for user security. And the app needs to interface with card-issuing banks on the back end during setup, to get the keys and details it needs issued.

An open source implementation would need to jump through a lot of hoops and set up agreements with the banks and pay for all sorts of lab verification (probably through UL).
