Everyone along the payment food chain takes a cut so was always surprised that people thought Apple wouldn't. Especially when they are adding a value add on top.

And banks are free to drop Apple Pay. Customers will simply move their business to those who do support it. Just like happened when Apple Pay first launched in Australia and banks like Commonwealth Bank held out.
Correct. Though it's not the same on Android, you can be not-Google and do payments just fine, provided you have the same business relationships with the CC companies as a big merchant processor (good luck)

Not a huge fan of Android, but Android's pretty damn open, the open advocacy orgs unfortunately tend to conflate "you have to say "yes" to a dialog about untrusted apps in Android! intentionally difficult!" with the debacle the years-long Apple stuff has turned into.

I suspect we'll see less of that equivocation now that the petulance is nakedly visible, and gratefully, there's no longer billions spent on things like the "Privacy™" ad campaign, rushed after 100s of celebs had their nudes leaked from iCloud due to bad customer support.
> The US, again, stepped in to make sure it was "non binding."

The US did not step in to make it "non binding". It's a binding measure, without any teeth. The US is not making any effort to enforce or support the measure, which is effectively the same as being non-binding because no other power dares do anything to enforce it any other way.

I think this is correct. I play Go at a strong amateur level, and on the 19x19 board, I can often fully recall 200+ move games against "normal" opponents, because the moves tell a story that makes sense. But if I play someone much weaker or much stronger who makes a lot of unexpected moves, I'll have trouble remembering those moments.

> "So are train tickets going down in price or more seats being added?"

You can answer this question by looking at the existing service.

Are the trains crowded, unreliable, and/or running over capacity? In that case it would be better to spend the extra money on upgrading the service. Or is the service good but not enough people are using it? In that case it may be better to use the money to reduce ticket prices.

Whatever gets more people to ride the trains is going to be the best solution.

I 100% believe you, but at the same time there are a lot of us out there that don't feel like we're missing anything of that sort from our lives.

On the contrary, if I was to have children, I would have to put a whole lot of faith in my biological wiring for parental love and fulfilment overcoming the stresses, worries, and relationship strains any parent will tell you is the norm.

>any digital payment app provided by a card issuer

from this line, it seems like the author here and gruber are kind of arguing beside each other. Birchler says that google and samsung pay work the same way. gruber says bank's own apps don't work this way. they can both be right.

does anybody here know if the payment apps operated by card issuers work this way? (or else, do card issuers actually have payment apps? my bank doesn't)

> a commercially developed language in that its developers are clearly incentivized to add more features.

Do you have any evidence this is true? Most programming languages are developed either by a company (C#, Java, Swift, Go) or heavily influenced by many companies (Python, JavaScript, C++). Java had been criticized forever (until very recently) for it's slow pace of development and it was 100% controlled by either Sun or Oracle.

Comments like these show just how little developers investigate the reasons why features they personally dislike were introduced to a language.

I had my first daughter when I was 20 and grew up very quickly, I can distinctly remember it hitting me like a bus that I was now wholly responsible for a human.

She is an adult now and I couldn’t be any prouder of all she has achieved in life so far.

I also had two more kids in my 30s. It’s harder when you are older, but I’m financially better off so they can have things I couldn’t afford in my 20s. I do have more work responsibilities but it’s balanced by working from home so I get to be a big part of their lives, taking them to school, here when they get home, etc.

There are benefits either way, but I think if you are committed to being a decent parent, having them younger has more benefits in the long term. You get to be around for more of lives too.

Yes I have. But that’s completely irrelevant because I’m not a lawyer.

Ben Thompson and Gruber are not lawyers.

Lawyers I’ve followed have not found any mistakes though they do think some stuff is pushing it, but that’s completely normal and how all such cases work.

You have a core case on which you add a bunch of stuff. Because, one, you expect stuff to get thrown out, but more importantly these cases are rarely litigated to the end. They’re settled. So you put more in, even the slightly weaker stuff, so you can compromise on it during negotiations.

I wouldn’t have know this stuff, which is why I don’t pretend to know this stuff. Unlike Gruber and Thomson. Instead I follow lawyers online and speak to friends who are lawyers who have a better idea of what’s going on.

The ridiculous part of Gruber’s assertions is because he hears about these things only when Apple is involved he seems to think they are unique or new. That’s why his insinuations in a couple of posts that the EU actions were to punish American companies and protect European ones. If he had half a clue about this area he would have known that the EU has fined way more European companies than it has companies from the rest of the world put together.

What's wrong with scooters and mopeds?
Yeah. It essentially ends up as the Playstation GPU, but with quads and forwards texturing.

It's basically inevitable. Any proposal for fixing the Saturn that slaps on a "optimise for BoM" requirement will be pushed towards unified video memory. And the only contemporary example of such a GPU was the playstation. Not to mention, the design of the playstation GPU appears to be pretty close to optimal for it's era and price point.

And if you were to also switch your hypothetical Saturn design to triangles and inverse texturing, the resulting design looks even more like the Playstation GPU.

> but the bus is only saturated when drawing 2D elements or untextured polygons

The Playstation's bus will also be saturated when loading the texture cache, or when scanning out the previous frame (only on the later SGRAM versions of the GPU). Even with textured triangles framebuffer writes are limited to 16bit bandwidth, less time is wasted on those other tasks which periodically interrupt rasterisation.

Though, now that I think about it, inverse texturing probably gives the playstation a massive performance advantage over and forwards texturing. Inverse texturing allows triangles to be rasterized in strict left-to-right then top-to-bottom order, which is also the order that the framebuffer is laid out in memory. This order will minimise the amount of time spent waiting for the next DRAM row to be prefeched.

The order of framebuffer writes with forwards texturing is somewhat chaotic and probably wastes a bunch more time closing and opening DRAM rows.

BeagleBoard is akin to a Raspberry Pi. It's not meant to be a powerhouse PC, or in this case, a powerhouse AI computing platform.

It's meant for embedding, tinkering, and learning.

To that end, 4GB of RAM on an AI Accelerator board is fine - the expected workloads will not consume a lot of RAM. This also makes the lack of NVMe sufficient as well.

For more "horsepower" there is also the BeagleBone AI-64[1], which claims up to 8 TOPS.

Good luck on your x86-golfing journey! If it helps, I have a nice template for overlapping the two headers into 80 bytes, and stuffing up to ~24 bytes of instructions into them. It's included near the top of my article on the smallest x86-64 ELF Hello World [0]. (In the same article, I have a 73-byte template that's a bit shorter but trickier to use.)

You may find some of the other tricks in the article helpful, but it might be hard to follow depending on your level of experience with assembly. My general advice would be that 'push' and 'pop' are your two best friends if you want to move around 64-bit values.

A lot of this assumes so many things that I think people who were born and raised in stable UMC (like most on HN) take for granted.

Even if I lived close to the family I was born into, I would never let them get near my children. The years of neglect and child abuse are reason enough that they should never see them - let alone be caregivers.

Similarly, you’re assuming that your marriage would have gone smoothly still and so would the childbearing if you hadn’t waited. I was with someone for five years and we never got legally married. We talked a lot about kids and marriage. I still felt like we had years to go before we were ready for marriage and kids. We separated over financial differences once it became clear they were never going to resolve. Imagine we had ignored our intuitions and married and had kids based on arbitrary deadlines? It would have been terrible. The differences wouldn’t have solved themselves with marriage or kids - we would’ve gone separate ways and both would experience truly insane hardship due to such poor decisions.

Living near people who can take care of your kids sounds lovely if you grew up where all the jobs are. Not uncommon for many SV types here who grew up in Palo Alto and such but it’s farfetched for so many more.

We need better regulations to give better paid leave and lower the cost of housing so I’m not homeless when my spouse decides to stop working to take care of the kids.

I was laid off in January here in London, UK and it's been a wake-up call as well. In 2021 you could turn up at the wrong building for an interview and still walk out with a job offer.

Someone who tried to hire me in 2021 (I turned them down), went seeking themselves in 2022 and had 8 offers. They went seeking again in 2023 (they chose poorly, hated it) and it took them 6 months and dozens upon dozens of interviews to secure something.

They don't call it a job market for nothing.

Ancient Greece and Rome both had a small elite exploiting the masses, and both states practiced slavery. The Bible endorses the institution of slavery as God's natural order numerous times in both the Old and New Testament. Europe held the greatest slaveowning imperialist powers the world has ever known - and monarchies to boot.

Also there is no such thing as "European culture" or "Western culture"[0] per se, that's a modern retrofiction meant to lend credence to white nationalist ideology, much less any credibility in the claim that such is the sole originator and inheritor of the concept of democratic government. India had its own democratic ideals[0], as did Africa[2], and America's own democracy is derived in part from that of the Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy[3].

Also... since you're implying (as everyone who makes this argument does) that Islam is "simply not compatible with democracy," the cultures of the Islamic world have been influenced by ancient Greek and Christian philosophy since Islam began[4,5]. That's why European culture(s) had to recover much of the knowledge they lost after the Dark Ages from Muslim sources. So your statement disproves itself even by its own ethnocentric standard.

It wasn't too bad to switch for me, but the problem is going back and forth. I don't love over-customizing my IDE but I've created my own keybindings for the commands I mis-type most (Command-R to run being the main culprit). Both Xcode and VSCode support custom key bindings and this isn't something that the LSP is responsible.

UI is a different matter. Xcode is still miles ahead in performance tooling.

If your skills are as strong as you perceive them, then there is at least ONE valid reason you haven't landed a more profitable job, especially if you were applying between 2018-2022.

Not if the users have anything to say about that.

Canadian banks tried to do their own contactless payment on Android (TD Pay, lol), but nobody wants it. In the end they caved and finally offered Google Pay.

I predict it's gonna be similar. Even if Apple opens up NFC payment, nobody will use them and prefer 1st party support like Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Just see how many people actually use Samsung pay vs Google Pay.
I’m doing some RAG work with document trees, and various ways to do embeddings. I’ll write when I have some data.
The biggest difference is that no internet connection is required for the authentication because the bank trusts the user's device. CC number is randomized per transaction so that the merchant does not receive the real CC number.

I've seen cases contactless payment is not supported only for a particular brand and I believe it's because of missing software update on the payment terminal.
