>The companies should just pull their apps from the Apple marketplace. If something can be a website, just be a website. Why even mess with an app at all?

the sad reality is that mobile pretty much "solved" an issue corporations struggle with on web to this day. A closed down (i.e. no adblock), centralized (i.e. you can pay to game the platform to highlight your product), scalable system that can be easily and conveniently monetized. They don't like it, but those corps would 99/100 times take that 30% toll from Apple/Google to gatekeep the adblockers if it means they get more consistent ways to serve ads and subscriptions. That's why being open didn't change most company's decision to serve on Google Play vs an alternative store, nor on the web.
Everyone doing anything has some controversy around them. At some point, we should just stop paying attention to internet dramas and focus on what matters. Like, fast issue trackers or continuous build with a novel feature to ssh into the state, when the build failed (which SourceHut supports: https://man.sr.ht/builds.sr.ht/build-ssh.md)
While I imagine it just means they sponsored the academic institution, likely a good thing, but there's something unshakeably "idiocracy"-flavored dystopian about fast food product placement on professors.

What? We’re fat, stressed, eating terribly and not able to afford our doctors enough.

FTFA: “Nearly half of newly diagnosed cancers in the U.S.—42 percent, according to ACS researchers—are avoidable with a combination of prevention measures, such as eating a healthy diet and maintaining a healthy body weight.”

It’s unfortunately more acceptable to let a family member ramble in the corner about glyphosphate than to tell them to get on a treadmill and/or take Ozempic. (Which may be the right answer. Perhaps the damage, physically and educationally, is already done. I don’t know.)

Not true among the educated [1]. (An effect that persists even after adjusting for income.)

The factoid the advertisers un-funded a lobby grouping will be seen by Musk as a victory. The underlying story however is net-negative for our hero. Considering his self-assessed genius-level mind, I am somewhat surprised he doesn't understand errors. Like, never having made one, he cannot conceive of what one would look like so completely misses queues about them. I mean, since I cannot by definition be wrong, why bother finding out about them?

Its spock jim, but a lot more stupid and less humane.
Ahhh that makes sense! And sounds a lot less convoluted than either of the methods I envisioned :P
The guy is making no sense. Or picked a bad fact pattern to make a point.

In the case he's describing you'd just get a search warrant for the garage and everything in it. Or, if you could establish probable cause (which seems likely here) you'd just go look for the drugs.
Kind of, but not in a way that matters for this scheduler (at least, I posit, not usually). If you have a single task with a wall-clock time in the 10-1000ms range and want to make it "faster," yes, you probably want to improve the latency. However, the latency introduced by this experimental library is negligible on the timescales being considered. With that in mind, a throughput improvement is a better description of the sorts of engineering efforts you need to accomplish your goals.

From a slightly different perspective, one thing the library does on top of handling small workloads well is handling _finely grained_ workloads. That's super important from a usability point of view, since you can express the parallelism in the most natural way and let the library handle the fact that it's hard to schedule that task (e.g., most schedulers suck as soon as you're talking about work items on the order of a single cache line). Just being able to have a convenient abstraction when writing a long-running job is also a fantastic feature. In that case, we would still care about throughput, not latency.

Separately, though definitely more rarely, there are jobs which are sub-second but where it's hard to batch many of them at once. If you're forced to execute many and care about the time till completion (latency, again at a much longer timescale), being able to make each one much faster is a big deal.

I really think that first paragraph is a commonplace occurrence though. Something important is slow (measured in "human" blinking timescales), so you slap a better scheduler and some parallelism at it and start work on the next ticket. Ripgrep, at some level (it has lots of other technical accomplishments; I don't want to let this comment give the mistaken impression that I'm demeaning the project) is useful precisely because it throws parallelism at sub-second problems.
But isn't that almost the definition of an optical illusion?

btw, the dress was gold
I wholeheartly agree!

The two best CI tools I've ever seen were Gitlab, as its approch was just working good (tm) and Teamcity, as its approach with the UI & Kotlin integration was just nice.

Then I've seen Azure Pipelines, which seem like an unfinished product because it competes with Github Actions, and then there is Github Actions which seem to come from someonw who loves to write k8s yml files (they do what they do, but they're unreadable).
Less about PNT, more about using it for LTE or 5G, as 15MHz is a standard bandwidth used there.

It is nothing new. It is a nature of the economic models. We live in the bubble.
The connection with reality is eroding progressively. You look at the information cycle you see opportunity, growth, futurism, promises, and social networks silos amplify what they find profitable.
In reality: Economic instability, layoffs, wars, eroding of democracy everywhere, progressive government control, poverty, bad infrastructure, etc.
Soon the reality will catch with tech bros and investors. Things are inflated to the brink. In this situation, AI marketing looks like a bad joke.
ML is useful and applicable in a lot of use cases. But consumer AI fails time and time again to deliver the promised productivity boost and is expensive.

It's so Samsung. Back when Internet of Things was a thing, I went to an IoT meeting in SF where one of the speakers was from Samsung. They had a refrigerator with a tablet built into the door. The tablet and refrigerator shared nothing but power, and cost more than a comparable refrigerator and tablet separately. I asked the speaker why they built this, and was told that there's a fraction of the market that likes to show off their kitchens who will buy this stuff.

Because like most consumer PC parts, it's a race to the bottom low margin low wage business, usually offshored to Asia, that's only remotely profitable for the top 2-3 players who captured the market and optimized the costs, processes, development and supply chain to the max.

Why would anyone else want to enter such a market to compete for even lower profits?

Hard to say. Audible, Netflix, and Spotify have a lot more weight to throw around. Enough that even Apple can't ignore it. I can see these being backdoor deals for them specifically.

Patreon from its very model does not. A very sad exploitation of the little guy, even if this is one of the biggest little guys.
I totally agree with you. Only after min 2 years of fully coding a viable production solution can one learn most of the pitfalls of given language. I would add frameworks which give another level of complexity and sometimes a framework is like a separate language.

Exactly so your problem is your system is way too complex. So many ifs, so many decisions, so many considerations. There's no way you can reliably trust yourself to not make mistakes once in a while. Do you have a workflow to help make this decisions? Is the software you write also this overcomplicated?

My system is, if I'm outside the house my keys and wallet are ALWAYS with me, doesn't matter whether I think I'll need them. I'm 40, I don't think I've ever misplaced my keys. Can't swear, but I really don't remember a single instance.

It's easy to fall into being condescending when all I see around me is people struggling with basic stuff. I get the impression "huh I must be a genius or something, I'm the only one that can do keys". I mean just look at the sibling comments "put keys in jacket", "what if it's too hot for a jacket urr durr". It's really astonishing.

httpd with some critical files; I'm taking a diversified approach of offline storage and various OS hosts to store the keychains and other things I'd need to bootstrap connectivity to the remaining online services, and maybe I'll host some personal pages as well.

In general, I think I want OpenBSD to be the Internet-facing hosts as much as possible, so looking into proxy options for TLS+QUIC.

They have a lot of advantages over GitHub as soon as you go beyond the simple task of hosting code and managing git workflow.

The main one are CI/CD Pipelines fully baked in: This is huge. It's fully integrated in the platform. You have full visibility over the CI/CD pipeline. You can even use their own runners.

Yes - chrome extensions or other browser extensions, mobile apps, vscode extensions.

A rare skill/environment for people to work in, but it is lucrative.

The first piece of software I sold was a browser extension. It was sold for about 1/5 of my salary but the time commitment was about 1/50th of my salary.

I’m working on more browser extensions and currently working on one in the LLM space.

And because most browser extensions are very small, or basic or crap quality - if you can build something of any real complexity and usefulness you are pretty far ahead of the common developer making extensions

Oh also - LLMs are terrible at understanding browser extensions and how they work and what they are capable of, so you are pretty safe from AI
The ridiculousness lies entirely on the US having sponsored professors.
I doubt it. Do you have an example of public code using modulo with negative numbers correctly?
Not the parent, but I'll bite: they are not the same. GitHub offers significant advantages over Gitlab, while Gitlab doesn't. Therefore I use GitHub. Once upon a time Gitlab had an advantage: they allowed private repo hosting for free. Now it's gone.
Not gonna defend Apple here, but I think it's also kinda sucky that Pateon is simply pushing the problem downward to the end users. They should have made a decision to either take the hit themselves or leave the apple store altogether. But of course this is too much to ask from a company who also has a dominant position in the market of creator revenue, so more enshitificacion for everyone.

First, please show me where exactly in the user agreement having two different accounts in different countries is a violation. I've looked and I can't find it. Don't go inventing violations of user agreements...

Second, what I've described is a problem that a lot of people have because seemingly no one at Apple understands that if you move between countries for work and need to have access to banking (or any other apps that are specific to that country) in those countries, the only way is to have different IOS account per country.

And it's even somewhat supported in ios, if she needs to redownload an app that was deleted due to lack of space, ios prompts her for that specific account's password (not the one I'm currently logged in). So it's somewhat shoddily supported. Nowhere near as good as android, where you can be logged in to multiple accounts and just click on a a menu and chose which account to use.

I get frustrated when I join a project that doesn't allow running the full stack locally, but forces sharing parts, which always comes with limitations (not being able to work offline for starters).

In $other_language you'll parse the JSON fine, but then smack into problems when the field you're expecting to be there isn't, or is in the wrong format, or the wrong type, etc.

Investment banking associates aren't performing the job of a wealth manager or financial planner. They spend much of their time performing research on businesses, creating presentations on businesses, and working with other businesses. They're not working with retail level individuals looking to have their wealth managed.

Until tech took off, investment banking was the only profession that competed with big law and medicine, compensation and prestige wise. It still is highly difficult and selective to break into, even for those coming from high ranking schools. Arguably much more difficult to break into than most big tech, and unlike with tech, if you miss the internship to investment banking sliding door out of college, it can be near impossible to break into later.

Joplin is excellent for sharing but its editing capabilities leave a bit to wish for. That's where Markor comes into play. Both support Markdown, so its easy to use both.

I've worked - like everyone else here, I believe - extensively with GitHub in the past, as it was the de facto standard 1 decade ago.

Then, about 5 years ago I started working in a company that went the GitLab way, specifically due to the CI/CD support they provided directly in the platform.

At first, I didn't like the change so much, but as the project kept going, and we invested more and more in CI/CD, I can't see any going back. There's just nothing in GitHub that would allow us this kind of control and flexibly and automation over the build/testing/release process.

I get it if for your own personal development you prefer GitHub (I still do), but for anything of a medium/big size that's willing to invest time and money into a fully automated release process, GitLab is the way. And I guess that's where the value of GitLab to investors lies, in its appeal to the enterprise sector.
> One describes the policy. Which is what they want to achieve. They want to achieve that a hotel employee checks on every room every 24 hour.

I find it puzzling how you (and all the other commenters here) accept this rule like sheeps. Normally, you US citizens cannot stop boasting how the USA is supposedly "the land of the free".

So don't take this personally, I'm replying to this as to all the others that appear like they find it totally normal that some security guy or hotel cleaning can enter a rented room. Every 24 hours, or at all. It's not normal. And IMHO not even needed / helpful.

No 24h check will ever hinder a mass-shooter. The criminal would just wait until room cleaning made their job, then go to his car and get the big suitcase with all the guns and ammunition one can buy entirely too easy in the US. And then he can shot from his room, minutes after this compulsory do-nothing 24h "security" check.

Here, were I am (Germany), things are completely different.

First, it's not so easy to get weapons. Not even at gun exhibitions. That in itself helps tremendously getting a less violent society.

Second, here we have the right, upheld by courts, that a hotel tenant can make the hotel not enter his room. A "do not disturb" sign is everything that is needed. If you want, you can look it up under "Frankfurter Landgerichts aus dem Jahr 2009 (AZ 2-19 O 153/08)".

Sure, there are other rulings that landlords (including hoteliers) have under some circumstances the right to enter a property they rented out. Like fire, or water pipe broken. Actual, imminent danger. Not hypothetical danger! But they even cannot get a general "you can always enter" term signed, that would be null and void over here.
Endowed professorships are common globally.

They have been common for at least 1,000 years. Much much longer than that but "a millennium" is enough to get my point across.

Sometimes it seems as though half of the biomedical professorships in Europe are funded by Merck and Roche.

Every single philosopher at Plato's Academy and the Lyceum was "sponsored" by wealthy merchants and politicians, the corporations and billionaires of that era.
