It is so annoying to have Apple blocking many features that would improve web components, service workers, PWAs.
Why are you so careful about your incentives? Do you think your motivation is so fickle as to be swayed by a bet when the other stakes are so high? This seems like a deflection.

Genuinely curious if some people think this way.
Just earlier today, I read this post on Techrunch, of course not only because of Apple, but the size and weight of the FAANGs is just too much even for a free market:

> While these companies are definitely benefiting from embracing new trends, there are other factors at play as well — in particular, investors don’t have many places to park their money to make bets on new technology.

> “There’s minimal competition as we are in oligopolies and duopolies,” Wang told TechCrunch. “We used to have hundreds of software companies, but decades of mergers and acquisitions have whittled down the options to a few companies in every geography, category, market size, and industry.”

Maybe physical torture.
So I assume it does the back-end as well?

I never cared to figure out what parts of SQS are clients-side and server side, but - does SmoothMQ support long polling, batch delivery, visibility timeouts, error handling, and - triggers? Or are triggers left to whatever is implementing the queue? Both FiFo and simple queues? Do you have throughput numbers?

As an SQS user, a table of SQS features vs SmoothMQ would be handy. If it's just an API-compatible front-end then that would be good to know. But if it does more that would also be good to know.

The reason you'd use this is because there are lots of clients who still want on-prem solutions (go figure). Being able to switch targets this way would be handy.
Interesting charts to see! Interesting way to drive some airline accountability with data. I wonder if useful for regulatory bodies as metric for overall operational scorecarding, or correlations with overall airline safety/incidents.
> this is nothing but NATO saber rattling.

This is nothing but Russia committing Genocide and NATO countries sending aid to help Ukraine defend itself. (note that NATO isn't, it's purely a defence alliance).

> peace is the solution.

Giving Russia a pass and letting them continue raping, murdering and committing genocide is not "peace".

Well, maybe that's what "Russian peace" means?

The spambots are literally having conversations with each other.
Swiss here: Pretty certain this is part of a pressure campaign by the SRF ("Swiss Radio and Television"). They are facing budget cuts nationally through an initiative that will be voted on probably later this year (https://srg-initiative.ch/). By preemptively cutting services on their own (that they are not forced to under the text of the initiative) they probably hope to sway voter's opinion.
The court is clearly going in the direction of activism in the sense of abandoning major precedents that have been around for many decades. Abortion, fair share union dues, Chevron, Citizens United, gutting the Voting Rights Act (thousands of polling stations have been shut down in recent years), and this week effectively legalizing bribery of government officials. The combination of these and other precedents is ushering in a new era of intensifying regulatory capture and with the people effectively losing power.

The label for what this is called is irrelevant. It’s the consequences of this that matter and the lower courts see where this court is heading and they will rule accordingly. These decisions have been extremely in terms of detriment to the country. This court will not be looked upon favorably in the future.

XMR is probably your best bet for privacy digital currency.

That said XMR isn't stable like the USD is, but it also didn't have infinite printability as once market cap is reached then only tail emmisions are rewarded for mining....iirc that a set value of 20.

XMR is the best for privacy, is resistant to asic mining and GPU mining, and is a time proven crypto. That said if your just using it so you can gain money from price fluctuations and not because of the fiction the coin provides then your never going to realise it's true value.
Also, the author focuses on the fact that LLMs are not much better at things that robots already do, such as moving stuff in a store. Yeah. But they are surprisingly good at many things that robots already didn't do, such as writing texts and composing songs.

It's like getting a flying car and saying "meh, on a highway it's not really much faster than the classical car". Or getting a computer and saying that the calculator app is not faster than actual calculator.

A robot powered by some future LLM may not be much better at moving stuff, but it will be able to follow commands such as "I am going on a vacation, pack my suitcase with all I need" without giving a detailed list.

The bad feeling I get from cashless is "what if some future political conflict will lower the status of my ethnicity to such a low position, so I'll be denied buying food and nobody will care?" or some similar scenario.
Freedom is usually the opposite of cumbersome and annoying. And current payment tech does not rob us of freedom.

I can wire money to virtually anyone in the EU at no cost. I can pay any merchant in the world with a credit card, in any currency, with minimal spread. It's both convenient and greatly expands my options for engaging in commerce.

Cashless system operated by regulated banks certainly comes with a risk of being used as a tool of repression (like it was in Canada during the truckers protests) but as of now it's freeing (as in speech).
Wow, it can be way more common to lose your bag than I would have thought -- on Aer Lingus, a 1 out of 57 chance! (While Delta is 1 in 497, and Air France is 1 in 1,256 -- more what I expected.)

But the national aspect is seemingly even more interesting -- in India you have a 1 in 97 chance, while in the US it's 1 in 497, and in Japan it's 1 in 7,734.

Now I'm incredibly curious to know what the real, actual culprits are. To what extent is is about the check-in airport or connecting airport that loses it, to what extent is it about airline policies around how luggage is handled, and to what extent is it national regulation that sets standards for airline performance, airport performance, or both?

Because the amount of variation here is just astounding and far, far, beyond anything I would have guessed. I would have naively figured that lost luggage was at a relatively "economically efficient" level and would therefore be pretty similar across airlines and countries... when clearly that is not the case at all.
Wow, I don't know about the data quality but this ranking pretty much exactly matches my perceived quality ranking of airlines that I have flown, even though I've been lucky enough to never lose luggage. Maybe it's not just luck since I always prefer Alaska or Southwest over United or American where possible.

My daily trip to school in Canada involved walking a kilometre or two along a road with no sidewalk. When it snowed the road got narrower but it didn't slow traffic down, so it got very dangerous.

After a decade in Germany, I feel like a prisoner at my parents' house in Canada. It's literally impossible to walk to certain places without walking along fast traffic without a sidewalk. The traffic lights don't work for pedestrians. Nothing is reachable on foot anyway.

Yea, that part is insane. At this point it is safe to say that any non open source device that has access to you home network and the Internet can function as a backdoor. Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but I guarantee the CIA has a list of common devices with this feature that they can use to get local access in most houses.
You realize that there’s more than one waqf board for different sects right?
Your example is again backwards. West Virginia v. EPA said nothing about whether the EPA could regulate CO2. The Court took it for granted that the EPA could do that.

The case was about the interpretation of 42 USC 7411, which creates an express distinction in how new pollution sources and existing pollution sources are treated.

The Clean Air Act created a fundamental compromise: the EPA could require reasonable emissions control technologies on existing plants, and could require more aggressive pollution control on new plants. In this case, the EPA decided that the power to require emissions control technologies on existing power plants gave it the power to require the entire industry to shut down fossil fuel plants in favor of renewables. That was an obviously stupid interpretation of the statutory language that nobody exercising good faith could seriously credit, and which gutted the statutory compromise in the Clean Air Act.

Imagine Congress passes a social media law, which allows the FCC to require social media companies to implement “reasonable privacy protection technology.” The FCC decides that social media inherently risks privacy, and bans your company from collecting any user data at all. You sue, and the FCC says that banning social media companies is a kind of “reasonable privacy protection technology.” That’s basically what happened in West Virginia v. EPA.

Very cool. Looks like 5 of the airlines all lost the same number (461) of bags though, and 12 more airlines lost 922 bags. Data acquisition error?
Used this a bit. Great free tool. Not always precise on cuts depending on the available keyframing, and takes some trial and error iteration, but definite a quick way to not have to re-encode the whole file.
Depends how you slice it.

Chrome is today’s Internet Explorer both in terms of market share, and use of non standard features to push a companies dominance.

Safari is today’s Internet explorer in terms of being bundled with systems as a requirement.

Ultimately, these analogies trivialize the actual state of the browser ecosystem in the 90s and early 2000s, because the computing landscape was so different.
It is, I fear.-
Interesting history piece, but clearly a big mixup with on one hand an entity called "Russia", that apparently fears the West, which is not true at all, the average Russian is well informed of the West and particularly the US being a lot more focussed on rising China.
On the other hand there was indeed a real worry that the economic and political freedom of the West was an existential threat, but only to the kleptocratic rulers, that somehow in this article are named..."Russia"...
Did you look at the table linked by OP? What you're describing is definitely the meme that's been going around, but how much of the sense that this court is more activist than the last few is just the amplification of social media? OP's table pretty clearly shows that overturning well-established precedent is just what the Supreme Court does.

Looking at the rulings in that table, the main difference that I see between this court and previous courts is that this is the first time that a conservative court has thrown caution to the wind and started overturning what they see as bad precedent. Typically conservative justices have held themselves to a standard that liberal justices did not, and the Trump era definitely ushered in a set of judges that were done with that double standard.

I'm willing to have a conversation about the merits of the individual rulings (there are some I disagree with!), but that's a separate question from whether this court is doing something that hasn't already been the norm for a century or longer.
the problem with that mindset though, is if you don't want several of these features. or you use a variety of languages and tools where the common interface is the terminal. i work professionally in Kotlin so i would never use vim over IDEA over that. but getting all sorts of other languages working in something as bulky as IDEA is a huge pain and not generally worth it.

for the longest time (pre-LSP), my non-kotlin dev experience was just vim-polyglot and running watch - build in a :vsp and it gets you far.
I can easily see Trump putting US resources against Ukraine.
Hot take: Apple is keeping app quality high by pushing out PWAs (which are just a way for developers to have an easier time, but not a better product).
Unsurprisingly point-to-point airlines lose less luggage. I'm guessing that those numbers are greatly influenced by which airports you connect through or how commonly an airline flies through problematic airports etc.

US Airlines are probably also less often going to lose luggage since it's typically (from my experience at least) impossible to check through luggage into a domestic connection.

Not just that, but forbidding any other browser engine on iOS and forcing Safari as the only browser allowed on the platform is completely abusive and anti-competitive. It's one of many reasons Apple is getting sued by the DOJ.

> You have to know the ground you're building on. Otherwise even your foundation will be faulty

Exactly, well put. Knowing the fundamentals leads to a more solid, safer foundation as you understand better what you can do with what you have and avoid layers of abstraction.
I think Apple knows that in the desktop market, they don't have as much of a monopoly as they do in mobile. So they often neglect the Mac and its software because if they introduce a poor native app on the Mac, you can create your own and sell it without giving them a cent—an option that doesn't exist on iOS.

But on iOS, you have to pay them $99 a year in the USA to publish apps in the Apple Store. So if Apple creates a crappy knock-off of your app that is free and comes with iOS itself, most people would use that instead of yours.

As someone who is interested In hardware engineering and reverse engineering....this truly is an understatement.

I have an old router I wanted to dump the firmware from as a learning experience to see if I could go from firmware dumping to finding a bug.

You got to constantly question if its your hardware or the device that's faulty....you got to double check and make sure everything is connected.

Want to do low level silicon reverse engineering? Yeah that's not cheap as the tool, chemicals, and PPE is very expensive.

But I'd argure I shouldn't treat the hardware world as magic. And with how expensive these devices are, some of it being justified, other times a company just sets insane markup on items like nvidia, its reasonable to want to learn how this stuff works and how one could do it themselves.

This hardware reverse engineering is also how we find/look for potential security issues or backdoors.
It's quite likely to be like the 1999 dot com boom and bust. Investors put a lot of money into things like Webvan which went bust in 2001 while a lot of the value ended up in the likes of Google which didn't float till 2004.

> Strychnine, in small doses, was commonly used a stimulant at the time; today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention describes it as a “strong poison” that is “used primarily as a pesticide, particularly to kill rats.”

Trite as the saying is, the dose makes the poison.

Strychnine is similar to caffeine -- only orders of magnitude more potent, so that a couple of milligrams will stimulate your CNS, and a hundred milligrams will kill you. Caffeine, of course, will only stimulate you if you take more than about 100mg, and it'll only kill you if you take it by the teaspoon.

The strychnine derivative securinine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Securinine) was sold in Russia as a "safer" stimulant along the same lines as strychnine, until roughly the turn of the millennium. I enjoy experimenting with strange drugs -- and the Russian pharmacopoeia is as strange as it gets (the Italian one is also strange, with rubidium chloride as a stimulant!) -- so I've tracked down and tried securinine. Didn't notice much from it. Not much better than a strong cup of coffee. No discomfort, in any case.
Apple pushes out PWAs because they can't make 30% revenue from them, and would rather developers write apps for their platform where Apple can make more money. It's a total money grab, which is why they forbid any other browser engine on iOS and force Safari on every browser app.

It says:

> My robot scours social media platforms 24/7 for people talking about their lost luggage and which airlines they flew, in 100+ different languages. By cross referencing that with actual lost luggage data it estimates very closely how much luggage is constantly being lost.

I think it needs more transparency on how this is working. There are going to be major cultural differences in terms of how often people complain on social media about lost luggage, and also just differences in frequencies of different terms ("lost luggage", "lost bags", "lost bag", "lost my bag", "lost my luggage") in different languages.

I'll trust actual reported lost luggage data, I don't know what the social media robot thing is doing.
Specifying the unit for human age feels a bit formal in German. The unitless number is colloquially used like an adjective: "I am X".
