again i feel like this is a weird mix of correlation versus causation

i am wary of revealing my political leanings in detail because i don't want them to be picked apart rather than the argument i'm making, but for an extended period of time the republican party has essentially poison-pilled my ability to vote for them with stuff that's just straight up not negotiable according to my personal values.

i may think you have a decent economic plan, but the fact that you take issue with the existence of close friends of mine or seek to enact policies that will harm them is basically a red line for me. i have a few red lines, things that i personally value based on mine, my friends, and others' lived experiences and my views are informed by that.

i do not affiliate with the democratic party. i do not donate to them, i do not volunteer with them, i don't particularly like them. i find them disappointing-to-distasteful at best, with very few standouts (and many people i started out respecting have grown to profoundly disappoint me.)

at the same time, because of some core beliefs that I hold, I find it impossible to hold my nose and vote in the other direction despite the fact that I give the other party a fair shake every election cycle. i do not feel like they are headed in a direction that is likely to change that.

i'm not ashamed to admit that i've voted this way up until this point. i'm also perfectly fine admitting that there may be a time in the future when things change and i'm able to choose freely between the two.

it feels a lot more like a failure of the two party system than an issue with the concept of "independents." you can easily be open to both parties right now while literally never running across someone in the other party you can get on board with. in the state in which i live, i must register with a party in order to vote in the primary, so i have no influence over which 2 candidates are presented to me. the most extreme voters tend to determine who the candidates are, thereby i don't have much flexibility in choosing, save for going third party (which i have, primarily in super-local elections, where they actually have a chance of winning and do win regularly.)

i don't think it's fair to suggest that people in this position are simply party loyalists.

edit: i feel like you've added content to this post that i'm re-reading and i better understand specifically what you're saying (which aligns with what i was saying) so apologies for basically responding with an opposing agreement.
The import/export reminds me of my own little blog generator project I've been working on over the years (super immature)

Essentially, your whole blog is just one file called "resume.json" that describes where all your post/pages come from, they could be external or local resources linked -> https://github.com/jsonblog/jsonblog-cli/blob/master/blog.js...

And then you have "generators" which are just functions, that can take your blog.json and output all the required html/assets to build it e.g. https://github.com/jsonblog/jsonblog-generator-boilerplate

The main idea being that you only ever have to keep safe your blog.json, which you could put as a gist or anything.

Love your setup so far, will follow along.
Not seen those brands in Sweden, but I checked the one we have that's for kids, a bubble gum named Hubba Bubba. Indeed, it has sugar! TIL.

At a high level, disaster recovery can often be "how do we get back to the way we were doing business?" A BCP is "what do we do if the way we did business before is not an option?"

So in this case, a DR plan might be "how do we restore our CDK data if something important gets deleted?" A BCP might be "what do we do if CDK no longer exists?"
Suppose there were a rule that there could be no defaults ever, and all of the apps are randomly arranged in the App Store for the sake of fairness.

Your argument would be equally true, you could just scroll and scroll until you find the app you’re looking for, but surely you’d agree the experience would be worse?
If you actually read the article all will be much clearer.
Interesting, I didn't think you could pay directly via Alipay or Wechat.

Most cities you can use chengchema/dachema mini-apps in Wechat to generate the QR codes, but also all the old smartcards I had from previous trips worked in their various cities (but only work in that city) and usually had slightly cheaper fares than the QR-code ones, which were the same as the cash price to buy a single-use ticket.

But yeah, the bag checking is annoying in China. Shanghai is very relaxed compared to everywhere else - most places you even have to have your water bottle scanned to make sure it is actually water, or else take a sip from it.
Why don't they have any competition?
Yes, I think I did, thanks. It's actually copyleft that I described, not just free software. And yes I indeed also agree with the general idea of copyleft, for the reasons I described.
> That's genuinely insane levels of drug success.

The trials did indeed look pretty good, and they met their primary endpoints, but they were necessarily short-term trials, and IMO they were nowhere near as impressive as some of the old impressive vaccines. Try reading up on the history of the varicella vaccine:

https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/226/Supplement_4/S375/6...

Apparently you can give the vaccine after exposure, and it’s nearly 100% effective. 50 years after development and ~30 years after widespread rollout began in the US, the same vaccine still works, although the number of doses given has been increased to two because a single dose wasn’t quite good enough for herd immunity. (Chickenpox is far more contagious than at least the original COVID strain was.)

I rate the COVID vaccines as an excellent improvement for society, absolutely worth getting in most populations and unquestionably worthy of approval, but merely so-so on the scale of vaccines. (I’m not sure I rate them worthy of continued approval and widespread deployment at current prices. If nothing else, serious follow up should be required to determine how repeated use of the mRNA vaccines compares to, say, Novavax. And health agencies should consider moving to a fee-for-efficacy model instead of a we-pay-whatever model — if pharma companies know, in advance, that they’ll get paid more for doses of a better vaccine, maybe they’ll make one instead of resting on their mediocre laurels.)
A spicy take, but there's some truth to it. This class of vulnerability is way more important for PAAS providers that run workloads from multiple untrusted sources on the same hardware.

Running with mitigations=off on a single user workstation ain't the end of the world, assuming you actually trust the code you're running (and if you don't trust it... why are you running it to begin with?).

Desktop OS design still assumes that programs can access user data on disk anyway, after all.

(This isn't an excuse to throw buggy / broken firmware into the world and not support it, which is also something these no-name vendors are happy to do)
DR: bring IT services back online.

BCP: keep the business running, possibly without using IT.
And importantly, when viewed with this understanding of "organizational ethylene", it's obvious that anyone who resists, obstruct, or disagrees with routine removal of bad apples is probably themselves a bad apple.
Finding ways to reduce the costs of a clinical trial does not mean abandoning clinical trials (or something sufficiently similar)
Definitely – the challenges and cost of maintaining these individual systems should not be underestimated.

But practically, a lot of them are run by a small set of contractors anyway, not any government entity directly. These only need to integrate with wallet providers once; beyond that it's just a matter of contract terms and uploading a few new assets to Apple's and Google's servers. (I believe Apple can even launch new transit cards without an iOS update these days.)
Yes, that's why there was no human in the loop and I was using LLMs as a proxy to bottom up approach in step 1. But the hallucinations can creep into the knowledge graph also as mentioned by another commentator
Whenever there's another interminable thread about, like, what is OO really and how thoroughly does it suck? I wish everyone knew this short paper as background.

Teaser: the first OO language was Church's lambda calculus.
At that point you're probably blowing up your verification/validation space to where it might be intractable , in both a machine and human sense. People have done research work in formal methods all the way down to the assembly level, of course, but could you even write the correctness properties for the software you're describing?

Where you can use these methods - think of the part of your program's behavior you can describe with the article's "whiteboard" methods mentioned in the post above - truth tables, decision tables (! TIL), state machines/statecharts. If you can formulate it that way, not only is it easier to reason about and to test, but if you can also work out what would make it correct, you can run it through an automated checker.
>theres also non-FDA approved stuff that won't be labeled as FDA approved and you can do it if you want.

I assume (even if you didn't realize it) that you mean the $100 Billion plus/year dietary supplements market[0]? That's already (and has been for centuries) in place.

What’s the best argument you’ve heard against your position about it people taking non-FDA approved stuff?
Either my Ocaml course or my prolog course. In the end, I managed to use Ocaml, but endofunctors are still a mystery to me, while I managed to build half a prolog in common lisp (the inference engine part), so I'll say Ocaml.
I wouldn't consider iPadOS different from iOS. They realistically share 99% or more of their code with each other and just lock down features because of hardware/form factor differences. You also left out watchOS which is based on iOS.
> "You can get this cheaper on website, but will no longer be able to cancel via App Store"

For one thing, nobody reads that stuff and secondary, after a few months people forget the details of where and how they subscribed to things.

So it absolutely would lead to an increase in support calls to Apple as people ask why they can’t manage a subscription through the App Store. Even me, who generally does keep track of this sort of thing, completely forgot through what service I first activated an HBO subscription and it was kind of a hassle to cancel it since, it turned out, I had set it up through Roku and I haven’t owned anything Roku in 6 years so didn’t think to look.

A blanket ban is overdoing it though, and is just a lazy (and conveniently profit maximizing) way to stop it. I’ve long felt that what Apple ought to do is maintain a codified standard of bad behaviors that address the specific dark patterns they are worried about and just hold that over developers’ heads to retroactively punish abuse rather than having a default posture of being adversarial.
Said customers who care about privacy would therefore continue to use the App Store.
In the world of physical products, brick and mortar stores will take 40-50% of the revenue for selling your product. This is the norm. Even worse, production, shipping, and accounting all also cost vastly more.

So while the 30% take of the app store is likely too much, you can't really do an "imagine if" because actually prior to the software industry things were far far far more difficult.
After what I have seen in the past few years, I’m not comfortable hosting anything on Cloudflare.
The other aspect in the background is win10 is putting up a full screen warning about hitting EOL in Oct'25 while not giving older (~pre-2018) systems an official route to upgrade to anything supported besides buying a whole new system. For those that are content with the performance for desktop the scheduler doesn't really offer them anything. I'd love to see some form of OS survey in 2026 narrowed down to pre-2018 systems still online.
> Consoles are not general purpose devices. But I wouldn't mind if EU went after them as

Silly argument. All of the consoles support apps.

My hot take is auto dealers are a notoriously painful enterprise sales cycle due to network effects aka "good 'ol boys" club (anecdotally from folks in tech who have to deal in this industry).
Microsoft did implement a not-so-thin POSIX layer and an ELF loader atop the NT kernel, it's WSL1 (Windows Subsystem for Linux). It was obsoleted by WSL2, which uses a specifically-tuned Linux VM instead for performance and completeness reasons.

I haven't played with it, but I think the classic Windows POSIX subsystem used the COFF/PE file formats instead of ELF.
LLMs right now don't employ any logic. There can always be corners of "I don't know" or "I can't do that" - than the current system which is 100% confident in it's answer because it's not actually trying to match any constraint at all. So at some point the system will apply logic but may not be as formal as we do in pure math.
Apple uses lots of other chips in the products besides the M-class mega processors being built at TSMC. Think of peripherals and MFI authentication chips.
Objects not really safe to use as sets:

const x = {};
‘constructor’ in x // true
x[‘constructor’] === Object // true

You have to use hasOwnProperty and people don’t remember to do this.

Some properties cannot be deleted, and some cannot be modified:

delete x.constructor;
x.constructor === undefined // false
x.__proto__ = undefined;
x.__proto__ === undefined // false

Sets also allow you to have sets of other types rather than just strings and symbols.
I think every process needs a paper backup. There’s just no telling when something will be down.

If you run a SAAS you could offer this as a feature. Even hire data entry people to input transactions later if needed.

My definition of self-hosted isn't the same as your definition.
Link previews have been widely discussed and sometimes criticized. Some notable implementations include Wikipedia, Google Docs, and Obsidian. IMHO, a link preview adds value when it provides enough information for me not to follow the link and open another tab.

I've created a Linkz.ai link preview script for blogs & websites - it adds fast (no iframes) summaries that appear on hover, and, optionally, on-click, it extracts linked articles, videos & embeds and shows them within the blog. When fewer people follow hyperlinks, it's a win-win situation; the website owner improves its retention and visitors are not overloaded with new tabs.

SAML is way more of a beast to configure and maintain compared to any oauth-based flow.
One reason is just that SAML is more complex, because it does a great many different things for many different use cases.
The other reason is that setting up SAML requires humans to coordinate the trust setup and key exchange between the IDP and Relying Party.
For typical setups, oauth is pretty much self-serve, but where I worked setting up a new SAML customer required a senior engineer to personally handle it every time.
"heard a story" her whole life was dedicated to meditation practice so I doubt it happened in a night. a lot more context required to make that claim. and if you look at her history she did the long yards in retreats. no short-cuts, much as people want to think there are.
There is no github script that fixes this, there are scripts that redirect the activation mechanism to pirate activation servers that validate every incoming request. Not knowing this mechanism beforehand, I was very surprised by this, because this is what even many activator software do as well.

I consider it a major breach of trust from the authors. Maybe there can be an exploit that uses the activation mechanism as a vector, and then, many of such machines will be compromised. This is a risk, and it's something that a user needs to evaluate before going into it.

I personally solve this for myself by running the activation server emulator myself. It's open source software and really easy to set up as well.

> banks aren't too unhappy about the dampening effect it has on liquidity flows

Correct.

The average FedWire is $5.4mm [1]. The Fed Funds rate is 5.3% [2]. ACH settles in 1 to 3 business days [3]. Actual/360, that's $800 to 2,400 to finance wholesale.

If, on the other hand, you're JPMorgan and can pay 2 bps for deposits [4], that cost drops to $3 to 9. These are the economics that drive bank consolidation.

...Fifth? (right to non-self-incrimination) Are you sure you don't mean Fourth? (right to security from unlawful search and seizure)
Philosophies are tools for reasoning. I don't literally go through my life thinking "oh here's an undifferentiated quanta, time to apply some nouns to it." But if I want to adopt a scientific mindset it's beneficial to think in terms of the physical experience versus my mental model of it because I can write my mental model down, whereas I can't write physical experiences or undifferentiated quanta down. That's what makes them quanta.

We have tons of sayings for this like "the map is not the territory," "wherever you go that's where you are."
That would be very very stupid. Their marketshare is already going down in China. Soon RoW will bring in similar laws and Apple will sell only in Texas and Florida.
> given their protection is imperfect and not like actual vaccines

Since when were "actual vaccines" anywhere near perfect? The COVID vaccines were unusually good for vaccines, not unusually bad.

Even a low-efficacy vaccine can still be high-efficacy in a population due to herd immunity (you don't need 100% protection, you just need to push R below 1.0 so that the infected subpopulation sees exponential decay rather than exponential growth), but we don't even need to consider this nuance in the case of the COVID vaccines because they surprised so strongly to the upside.
Just regular "SEPA slow" (i.e. SEPA credit transfer), as far as I know, unless they're financed by a mortgage/loan anyway.

Some banks offer "rush payments" for that use case in particular, which I believe essentially correspond to either an RTGS payment and a phone call or fax to the receiving bank ("hey, can you check your TARGET2 account real quick for our transfer <reference> and credit your account x for the sum please?"), or just a regular old SEPA credit transfer with somebody making sure that it's not caught in some AML or fraud control queue for several days. It's not a pan-European standardized scheme, in any case.

Code coverage only tells if a line or statement was hit. I’ve been working with offshore development teams which get sufficient code coverage, but don’t have any asserts. They call the code, but the test doesn’t test (except maybe a “smoke test” - it doesn’t throw an exception).
I use Teal for Pico8 game development. It's great.
There was never a rules-based order on the whole. Something like that has existed for various brief moments in time in various industries throughout the 20th century, but it has never been the norm. We as human society are fighting the same fight that we have been fighting since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Progress is measured on the scale of decades at best.

I agree with what you think needs to change, but I don't think anyone should be confused about corporations in the past somehow being more ethical than they are today.
I'm pretty sure it can't. There's nothing in a WAV file that's meant to be executed. A quick google turns up a DirectX vulnerability from 2007 (a validation error that's not inherent to the WAV format per se), and a recent case of WAV files being used to conceal malicious payloads (but coupled with a loader).

Having said that, the "arbitrary code" found in TrueType is not really arbitrary either - it's not supposed to be able to do anything except change the appearance of the font. From a security standpoint, there's no theoretical difference between a WAV and a TTF font - neither can hurt your machine if the loader is bug-free. Practically speaking though, a font renderer that needs to implement a sort of virtual machine is more complex, and therefore more likely to have exploitable bugs, than a WAV renderer that simply needs to swap a few bytes around and shove them at a DAC.
Google would never.
Related note: car stealerships are a relic of the past. There is no reason why a middleman should exist when buying a car. Consumers should have the option to purchase directly from the manufacturer.

I am personally not a fan of Tesla as a vehicle, but I admire the business model of buying directly from Tesla. Stealerships are a drain on the consumer. All that land they own can be used for productive economic activity or housing.
This is interesting. Thanks for sharing.
> what Apple ought to do is maintain a codified standard of bad behaviors that address the specific dark patterns they are worried about and just hold that over developers’ heads

The problem with doing that is that it likely results in a game of Whack-A-Mole with malicious parties. See for instance Google regarding SEO.

If a credit card issuer drops your account, you don't lose access to things you paid for with the card.

If a DRM store drops your account, you often do. (I think some of them do have a limited account type, so they will no longet let you transact, but you can still use the content you didn't chargeback)
