It would be up to them to choose their models. If they want to keep the closed model where you can't use the device you purchase in absence of Apple, they will have to charge accordingly for the device and services and do the refunds if the user no longer want the device. I guess people would like yearly updates, so Apple will have to operate drastically differently to keep the closed platform model.

Alternatively, they can sell the devices as today and provide a method to install any software the user wishes and even to remove iOS from the device. I guess they will be required to produce a basic documentation on all this so others can create the alternative services but wouldn't be required to modify their own software and services.

Nice track and always lovely to have that flashback to the Impulse Tracker UI!
You are clearly engaging in bad faith at this point when you pick the "car not being useful for everything" analogy and you cherrypick it into absurdity. For someone that says is interested in distributed algorithms it's clear you are not interested in being able to reason, about them.

EDIT: There was an edit adding the final part of the comment after I submitted mine above. Here is my response to the last part, since the comment was toned down a bit:

Yes, we need to improve the tooling, and TLA+ can be improved a lot, I'd love for it to be able to reason about my code and to have an easier bridge between both words. However engaging in the discussion of how it can be improved without acknowledging what good and usefulness it brings is just not useful in general, and it just puts off people that could benefit from it from ever using it.

TLA+ has a lot of value in some cases, and we should be acknowledging that!
Not bad faith, these are issues I've been affected by first-hand. And when I have a technical issue I fix it by getting to the root cause, not becoming a vassal to JetBrains.
There's already some really value info here. I'll add that it's important to manage expectations and emotions of your stakeholders during these types of projects. They need to know the level of involvement you'll need from them and to what extent.

Also, let them know that whatever go-live date you set, the project isn't over. They should expect to be some issues post-launch that will need addressing. Ensure them that the engineering teams won't leave them, and make sure you have time built in to support them during that time. Whatever time you think you need for that period, double it, just in case.

All the best to you as you begin your migration effort.

Federated protocol for super apps by letting people choose network and client
Super apps (aka Everything Apps) are getting more popular these days. This also means to interact with people migrated to a super app, you also have to have the same super app. Also means everyone have to hand their data to a single centralized server. Or rather, this was like that. If you want to interact with someone from different super app and both apps are compatible with TheProtocols, you can interact as you are in using the same super app.

TheProtocols, aka PGDv3, is a federated protocol for decentralizing super apps by letting people choose a network and a client they want. TheProtocols is designed to provide most functionality a standard user needs in a daily life. TheProtocols will be extended to provide more functionality in time.
Maybe the silver lining here is that this will finally wake people up to the indispensable role cryptocurrency plays in all these ransomware attacks.

> I'm not sure how "estimated reading time" works for non-english speakers.
>

Do you mean for non-native speakers reading English material or for material in other languages when read by native speakers with an average reading competence in their native language?

Anyhow, as a non-native English speaker, it implemented it on my site by showing both the word count, as well as an estimated time, which is simply calculated by dividing the word count by a constant number of assumed words per minute.

That number was guesstimated by doing some reading speed tests on myself and researching average reading speeds and rounding up to 10 wpm. I have to admit that my assumption of 240 words per minute does not hold up to any scientific scrutiny, but otoh it is an estimation.

It works ok for prose. As soon as other notation is mixed in (code, math, graphs, diagrams etc.pp) that begins to naturally to vary wildly in accuracy.
The dev did not "forget a single punctuation mark". It was there and it was correct. What was /not/ correct is that he did not implement any form of implicit resource freeing in an RAII-language. Doing resource management using scopes is a choice. It's not inherently better or worse than explicit resource management with something like Go's `defer`. But if that choice is made, as in Rust or C++, you have to ensure that the implicit resource management is correctly implemented (Drop in Rust, destructors in C++). Same as in Go, where you have to ensure that you call `defer` with the correct cleanup function or in C# where you have to use `using` on your disposables, etc.
The GP here did not claim a poisson was the same thing as a Gaussian. They also don’t look similar.

second hand knowledge here, but, one senior dev told me that their company made a conscious effort to make this type of transition between versions of software really, really early. he said, when you have a large customer base and they have expectations of the software, you're screwed.
>I'm not sure how "estimated reading time" works for non-english speakers.

Do you mean people whose native language is not English? I assume it works the same way as for everyone else, i.e. it's always an approximation anyway. I'm not from an English-speaking country, but I'm pretty sure I read faster than the average English native.

The other interpretation is that you mean people who can't read English at all, but in this case I understand even less. They won't be able to read the article, if they don't speak the language. After automated translation, the reading time should be roughly correct again.
It uses a new Roslyn API to dump SyntaxTree and IOperation's starting at a specific span of source code IIRC, and it shipped in one of the minor version after .NET 8.0.0 release, it took me a bit to get it working upon its release but by this time you should have the necessary SDK, though the relevant extension version may still be marked as pre-release hence my suggestion.

That’s arguably not a great example, since there are both more than one international credit/debit card networks, and even these have been subject to constant regulatory scrutiny.

There was a time when common wisdom was that telephone companies and many other infrastructure businesses needed to “obviously” be monopolies as well (sometimes state-owned, sometimes private, which is arguably the worst of both worlds). I really wouldn’t want to go back to that.

Rust Coreutils 0.0.27 Continues Climb of Better GNU Coreutils Interoperability
(the OP is referring to one of the foundational concepts relating to the entropy of a model of a distribution of things -- it's not the same terminology that I would use but the "you have to know everything and the model wouldn't really be useful" is why I didn't end up reading the paper after skimming a bit to see if they addressed it.

It's why this arena things are a hard problem. It's extremely difficult to actually know the entropy of certain meanings of words, phrases, etc, without a comical amount of computation.

This is also why a lot of the interpretability methods people use these days have some difficult and effectively permanent challenges inherent to them. Not that they're useless, but I personally feel they are dangerous if used without knowledge of the class of side effects that comes with them.)

But that’s why it’s wrong. TBTF only works because financial institutions are built on confidence. You can’t reboot them through bankruptcy.

Boeing can be put into bankruptcy to facilitate reörganisation without causing ripple effects. (Like GM and Chrysler were.) TBTF as a general-purpose meme fundamentally doesn’t work.
No paid upgrades is the huge issue. By fiat they eliminated the mechanism by which small developers survived for decades before the app store. It couldn't be any harder for them to support than the crazy IAP dance they make you do instead or the subscriptions they foist on everything.
Tail-call optimization is very important when writing Scheme programs. By removing those, you loose the power of recursion.

Also when it comes to macros, does that include `syntax-rules` or `syntax-case` style macros, where the latter are much more powerful?

While an embedded Scheme-like language is incredibly useful, at some point I feel as if you would simply have to include these features, and to that end it would just be Scheme reinvented.
You are manipulating fragments of source code in a macro. Material in which tokens have been converted to objects and which has a nested structure. So, nicer than textual source code.

Amazing to see a curator attempt to give us an impression how lighting "felt" in antiquity.

Today, we too often see light as mere utilitarian anathema to "darkness" - which breeds evil, is to be banned to the shadows, or better yet eradicated altogether. As a consequence, we spill light everywhere. We kill the dark as if it's a disease, and deprive ourselves of a cosmic experience - the night sky, the magic experience of dusk and dawn, the conscious intake of bright summer sunlight as well as brief-if-invigorating winter sun. We turn night into day and forgot how, if at all, we can cherish and celebrate the difference.

Before, this was reversed. Night-time lighting served as an ornament, a celebration or display of art, or at least very consciously used to "spot" - light a path, show a door, paint with shadows. Make light a celebration in solstice bonfires, use candles as little boosters on christmas promising a nicer/warmer/brighter season just round the corner. Light was pleasure, luxury, promise, comfort.

Much of lighting today is needless and useless throwaway trash. It's used like painting the entire world flourescent green. Just with light. Not unimpressive as a technical feat. To me, just wrong, emotionally. If god had wanted us to live in permanent daylight, life would have been created on a planet rotation-bound to its star ...
Oooh! Just left a top-level comment but I thought I'd reiterate somewhere you might see it - this is a stellar writeup. It's a rare pleasure to find such a technically comprehensive breakdown of embedded firmware on HN.

8051 is the cockroach of embedded systems. Bizarrely resilient, and absolutely disgusting. My very first firmware job (erm, internship) was taking a Cortex-M0+ and making it serve as a pin-for-pin replacement for an 8051. Many crimes against software humanity were committed.

> Any engineer with AoA failure information (which I assume in Boeing is an easily obtainable information) should have designed/reviewed/approved MCAS in a different way.

Hell, I'm not anywhere close to aviation, just have an interest in it, and even I know that AoA sensors are prone to failure (relatively, for an aeronautics component), can easily get blocked by external stuff, and multiple crashes and accidents have happened due to that. It's nothing short of criminal negligence to design a system using only one.

That's why aviation has very strict reporting and documentation requirements, everything should be traceable. Of course Boeing failed at that too, with them being unable to say e.g. who actually worked on the famous missing bolts. Send them all to prison for egregious negligence, and maybe the other workers will start refusing to do subpar and deadly work.

Tables of contents are tricky. My publishing logic is rather flexible in how I use them, so I used to put them into the margins of longer articles[1] and sometimes even shorter ones[2] although I wasn't great at always remembering to do it[3].

But the problem for me is that good headlines, that give a fair summary of the section they are for, make for really wide tables of contents which don't fit neatly into the margins[4], so sometimes the table of content has to occupy space in the main section[5] which seems to me like it distracts a bit from the actual content.

Apps signed using code signing certificates that are in turn signed by roots in the OS trust store should run no questions asked (unless they are revoked of course), there needs to be a way to bypass this too, but that can be a "developer mode" of sorts and doesn't need to be easily accessible to the masses.

I'm not sure how you're framing that as a subsidy. It's a killer app that gets people over the threshold to purchase the platform (console). And then once the install base is established, everyone else wants to make their own games and has to pay you (a lot) for the privilege.

Developing first-party games costs more money, to both Nintendo and consumers, so it's the opposite of a subsidy. But they're compelling enough, they clear the purchase threshold and establish the platform on which the rest of the business is built.
You're assuming the OPs parents made an informed choice. Chrome might be the only name they recognized so they picked it. Is Chrome really the best choice for them? Hard to know. A bunch of choices up front is also generally bad UX. Reasonable defaults that can be changed later are likely better for the average user.
Well, doing it at that level is indeed quite tiresome.

When you move up a level or two, you'll see that making games can be pretty fun!
