It'd be neat but that would require a ton of effort and cooperation by several different projects.

Basically you'd need a C++ compiler to implement the C++ extensions used by C++ Builder (or something similar if you don't care about C++ Builder compatibility) so that C++ code can use Object Pascal methods with the extra functionality it adds (most important being properties and "published" sections in class declarations that are exposed via RTTI). You'd also need some tool to create C++ bindings for all the Free Pascal units.

The above will make possible to use LCL from C++, though only via code.

To get the full RAD deal you'd need to implement a C++ parser (including the extensions mentioned above) and refactoring support for Lazarus' CodeTools equivalent to the existing Free Pascal parser/refactoring so that the IDE can autogenerate code (Lazarus doesn't generate separate source code files like some other IDEs with GUI designers do, instead it updates the same source code you are editing on the fly as it keeps a full AST in memory for all edited files and units they depend on - something like that would be needed for C++ too).

And yeah, you'd need the people involved with all the above (really mainly the C++ compiler developers) to play along without breaking stuff.
> officers deliberately steered Carrick away from anything that would have helped him and towards actions that would have seen the rest of his life destroyed.

Now I'm imagining an alternative world where we have a well-funded and dedicated department full of agents who identify people on a "destructive path" like this and covertly steer them toward mental health support, positive influences, and productive hobbies...

I'm sure that would end up being dystopian too. But it would be way better than what we have now.

(Although kudos to the folks who thwarted the planned attack on a Taylor Swift concert recently; clearly not all of the work in this space is bullshit).
This map would be instantly improved by swapping out Gill Sans, which is only used due to tradition and matching the external signage. Its too wide, and has too much flourish to be useful on a map this data dense. Something a little more condensed and more geometric and less humanist would work so much better here.
Ninjas apparently..
"Obviously" is doing a lot of work here.

I liked the article and thought it was a fun peek deeper into the regulatory and safety manual side of things.

You attacking it for being really weird and then about how _obviously_ it is or isn't certain ways compared to historic fires in other tunnels feels forced and out of place to me.

I'm not a heavy app user, but I do think there things I want from Apple's app store process, such as privacy, security, and safety reviews.

I can't comment on the quality of these reviews themselves, but I'm assuming some people and some automation are providing some benefit and I know that work costs money.

Does it become the wild west when you install apps outside of the app store? Am I taking extra risk here?

Wishful thinking but 95% of users don’t give a crap. And at least half of them don’t even know even know the App Store is.

In addition to performance it also has to do with politeness: it’s not polite to ask for the same resources again and again from a server when you could cache it, especially when it has explicit headers about it in its response. Think of small self-hosted blogs with hundreds of readers that constantly poll it.
Throughout the whole talk he's using an alternatively flippant/hyperbolic speaking style that probably has been effective for him in the past when addressing high-level non-technical policymakers. He speaks to their policy/strategic insecurities about technological change and conveys a sense of inflated urgency.

It probably wasn't the right tone for this audience though. But it's a style of rhetoric that's probably intentional.
This is precisely what I was hoping for. This really isn't a dashboard for personal use as the title implies.

No they didn't. They sold like crazy which is why everyone has them now.

I don't think that way, at all. Capitalism at the core simply means that everyone can own stuff, and everyone gets to keep what they produce. Ownership means that the owner gets to decide how to use the things they own. Capitalism doesn't mean that things aren't shared, it just means that whoever owns the stuff can decide if they want to share. People naturally want to help each other, so they share stuff that they own. People share their things more readily with people they know. Maybe because they might get the favor returned, or they just want to make them happy.

Capitalism doesn't mean competition over co-operation. It simply means that you don't have to co-operate if you don't get equal rewards, or if you don't get rewards proportional to your effort. People hate to co-operate if someone else gets the rewards. People love to co-operate if they get a fair share of the rewards, which is what happens under capitalism.

Owning stuff leads to trading and markets, which leads to the law of supply and demand and the price system. Just by looking at prices of things, people can make rational decisions about what to produce and what to consume. People are pushed to produce things that are scarce and expensive, and they are pushed to consume things that are abundant and cheap. This is a form of self-organized co-operation, where everyone co-operates automatically by just acting rationally. By looking out for themselves, they help allocate resources for the whole community. The lack of this mechanism is one of the major reasons why totalitarian socialism fails. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_calculation_problem

Serious question. Does this open up EU iPhone customers to CrowdStrike-like security issues related to their phones if they use these new App Stores? Or at least reduce security and privacy of their devices by downloading less vetted apps? I am not pro either way yet I am just curious what the community thinks.
How do you research and evaluate different manufacturing and assembly options? Is that difficult and something AI could perhaps help with?
FromSoft, potentially. Even if you only start counting years at Demon's Souls (2009), that still gets them to 15 years.
They specifically called out "We get to see how businesses operate under the US government policies when they act on the web" — it's not a specific dig on Android.
There's two sides to this: using AI/ML/LLMs to augment your own development ability, and using AI/ML/LLMs within apps you build.

For the former side, Copilot-type implementations are pretty intuitively useful when used this way. I find it most useful as an autocomplete, but the chatbot functionality can also be a nice, slightly-better alternative to "talk to a duck when you're stuck." That said, I'll focus on the latter side (using AI/ML in your actual work) from here.

Generalized AI/ML/LLMs are really just a "black box API" like any of the others in our toolbelt already, be they Postgres, Redis, SSE, CUDA, Rails, hell, even things like the filesystem and C atop assembly. We don't need to know all the inner workings of these things, just enough to see how to use the abstraction. You probably take when to use a lot of these things for granted at this point, but the reason we use any of these things is that they're good for the specific problem at hand. And LLMs are no different!

What's important to recognize is the types of problems that LLMs are good for, and where to integrate them into your apps. And, well, a pretty obvious class of this is parsing plain text into structured data to be used in your app. This is pretty easy to prompt an LLM to do. OpenAI and WebLLM provide a pretty straightforward common set of APIs in their NPM libraries (and other language bindings are pretty similar). It's far from a "standard," but it's definitely worthwhile to familiarize yourself with how both of these work.

For an example, I've made use of both OpenAI and WebLLM in an "Event AI" offshoot to my social media app [1], parsing social media events from plaintext (like email list content, etc.); feel free to test it and view the (AGPL) source for reference as to how I'm using both those APIs to do this.

For projects where you actually have money to spend on your LLM boxes, you'll probably do this work on the BE rather than the FE as demoed there, but the concepts should transfer pretty straightforwardly.

If you're interested in really understanding the inner workings of LLMs, I don't want to discourage you from that! But it does seem like really getting into that will ultimately mean a career change from full-stack software engineering into data science, just because both have such a broad base of underlying skills we need to have. I'm happy to be wrong about this, though!

The irony there is for a while, I considered Blink based Edge better than Chrome. The issue is they added what are basically a bunch of pre-installed extensions to Edge that I really hated and kept making the UX worse to me.

Honestly if there was a set of plugins that would sync my bookmarks toolbar links I'd have less issue switching browsers and trying others more.
And I don't think the dialogs are malicious or anything, I would do the same thing because I don't want people complaining to me and you have to hammer it into people because no one reads.

Edit: To be clear I'm also in the set of people who don't read.

> a popular new game by Valve is properly newsworthy to report upon

If you've been explicitly asked to not report on a thing, and then you do. That's a jerk move. There shouldn't have to be legal incentive to do the right thing.

> a big enough company to be able to require and enforce binding NDAs and they chose not to in this instance

Valve isn't Nintendo. Their goal isn't to lawsuit their fans into submission. The splash screen saying "Don't share stuff" that the Verge clicked "OK" on is not necessarily a legally binding NDA, but it was clear what was being asked, and the Verge broke that contract (even if it was just a social contract). And Valve enforced the contract by banning them. No legal repercussions, just "you didn't hold up your end of the deal, so we're removing you from the deal" (and now Valve knows for the future that the Verge and this author in particular are the type to not follow simple instructions).

Access to the game is pretty readily available. If you want in, you can get in. People playing have to agree to the "Don't share stuff, this is just alpha" screen, and they know they are playing alpha software. People reading (or more likely, skimming) an article, don't have to agree to "I realize this isn't final software." So while nothing is so secret that it needs legal enforcement, different circumstances of how you discover something may affect your view on it.
I'm sorry but the way they interrupt the flow so many times is ridiculous. It would take minimal changes to make this flow non-disruptive but Apple wants users to drop off as much as possible during installation.
Terrible description of what it is but the demo on twitter does look very nice.

If this could pull from custom APIs as well that'd be great. Maybe a few generic UI components for different kinds of data.
If users don’t care shouldn’t it be easier to implement changes to follow the spirit of the law rather than making everything harder?
According to the article, once the case was tossed out by the judge, "Deputy Commissioner Krissy Barrett apparently felt the officers might possibly feel bad about what they’d done, so she took the time to assure them that they were still a valuable part of the AFP’s radicalization program Joint Counter-Terrorism Task Force":

“It is really important to note that this was a very difficult and complex investigation for everyone involved, and one which threw up many challenges,” she said in the email.

“I recognise and thank everyone involved for their tenacity, professionalism and commitment to duty.

“I also use this opportunity to acknowledge the fantastic work that our covert online operatives do, under very difficult circumstances, to keep the community safe.”

First of all, funnily, Lehrer rules do not define journalism. Not even historically, origins of journalism is not that.

And some of them in fact do cause own bias - they presume how the result should look like. Lehrer rules will facilitate both side journalism where you blame both sides equally regardless of facts on the ground. As I said, it is biased toward bad actors. And against those who says the truth.

Note how they contain nothing about real fact checking. They are super easy to "be followed" while being manipulative. Stuff like "I am just reporting on what X said" whereas X said unfounded accusation that is just getting traction because you refuse to fact check it.
Not only that, forcing Apple to open its app platform to all comers invites some of the worst abuses seen in the android ecosystem ((privacy, difficulty canceling, selling customer info…).

As you point out, the fact we see little outrage of the abuses by small app business speaks to astroturfed outrage and a misguided, anti-capitalist sentiment directed towards Apple. I’m more worried about getting harmed by a desperate fly-by-night app developer who sells my personal information than I am by Apple, since Apple has a long term reputation to protect. I’d like to see more restrictions on the App Store, not less.

Edit: why was the parent comment flagged? It was an entirely reasonable post. Was it flagged because indie app developers found it bothersome?
Something can only be evil when it harms or is going to harm somebody.

No matter how abhorrent a picture is it can not harm anybody by merely existing. Harm can (or may not) only be inflicted to others during its production or with its demonstration.

Banning possession of pictures produced without participation of any living person other than the viewer makes no sense.

Banning possession of child abuse pictures used to make sense because possessing implied buying and buying incentivized production which depended on actual child abuse. Nowadays nobody has to be abused and I'm totally fine with weirdos using whatever pictures their sick imagination may want as long as this keeps them satisfied enough to be able to keep their wicked desires secret from every living person. I don't want the police to bust such people as long as they don't actually harm anybody and don't pay anybody to do the harm. No crime without an actual victim is worth ruining anybody's life, whatever kind of freak they are.

> See problem, fix problem

Great theory when it's just a little quip. Not so great when it comes time to put into practice.

I have a problem, one of my coworkers is being lazy, he isn't cleaning up after himself and his mess is becoming a general hazard (slipping, fire.) I try to tell him to fix it but he's not concerned about the risks and tells me to fuck off. I can clean the mess myself, sometimes, but I have my own work to get done and he can create new mess a lot faster than I can clean it. I could try to organize other workers into a lynch mob.. err... I mean struggle session- wait no... I mean "intervention", but this asshole isn't responsive to social pressure and the people I work with don't have the stomach for violence...

You know what solves this neatly? Going to management. And if that fails, going to government regulators.

EU doesn’t get to make design decisions
Straight up, these are excuses.

I never finished college. I also never let what was written job descriptions stop me from applying for a job that I wanted. I'm sure that the denials I have received have been all because of my own lack of performance during the interview.

I believe strongly in the whole "If there is a will, there is a way." If you get denied for one interview and you really want the job, you should try again at a later date. Find out what caused you to fail, fix it, and come back stronger.

I'm guessing that the number of people on the planet who've been hands-on in building large scale physical GPU infrastructure are in the low thousands. It isn't some huge field. We, as an industry, need people who really want to do this stuff, and can learn it quickly.

ProTip: you don't need experience with GPUs. I had zero when I started deploying 150,000 of them. What I had was an innate ability to figure shit out based on my other experiences, and that is what got me hired in the first place. I took ownership over the project and made it happen, no matter what it took. That's what people are looking for. Be a doer, not a talker.
Apps still don't have system level access to anything, so no. iPhone apps can't automatically run in the background, run on boot or just access random data from random apps. If they can it'd be an exploit, and while the App Store gives you some extra safety in that they can scan for it / pull the app without updating iOS, now you actually need an up-to-date OS.

It's a small additional risk but really not that big at all compared to what you can do with Android sideloading or app installing on macOS/Windows, and not comparable at all to macOS kernel extensions or Windows drivers.
> As an aside, US had a high tax regime and state-funded research during much of the Cold War, so the victory doesn't necessarily validate a lot of the libertarian rhetoric

That isn't true, taxes has remained constant since ww2. The tax distribution might have changed, but the total amount collected hasn't changed much. Can see the curve looks about the same as always. The marginal tax rate barely matters for total taxes collected since there are so few rich people.

Godot or Unity? Why would you build a regular application GUI with that?

Those are for running a game or game like application constantly at XX fps, not for something that reacts to user input and should consume 0% cpu when it's not told to do anything.

The link claims we could save "100kWh per day" and there is a dataset provided (I didn't dig in that yet)
Yes, absolutely. Part of the reason I’m very happy that people around me tend to use iPhones is that I have some base level confidence in what they’re installing. I don’t trust nearly anyone to make good decisions about what applications they are installing, given how much information cellphones have it’s untenable to have them installing random garbage because some website said so.

I think the problem from Apple's perspective is the assumption they're building this platform to compete with 3rd parties. NFC payments is a perfect example of this, where I think from their perspective it wasn't "built improperly" because it was never built with the intention of 3rd parties accessing it directly, any more than Amazon storage provisioning tools are built incorrectly because AWS users can't build their own S3 competitor on top of those tools.

Edit:

I've talked about this in a previous discussion, but we have a sort of arbitrary line we draw on what should or shouldn't be a service / integral part of an OS / Platform and what should be, for lack of a better term, hot swappable by the end users.

On the one hand, you have the sort of "GNU Maximalist / Microkernel" approach, where everything is replaceable. On the other you have the "iOS / Video Game Console" approach, where the system is largely a black box and you get an API and can do things with that API but you can't swap out anything not controllable by the API. There's no objective place to draw that line though, it's all dependent on the experience your platform is designed to provide. Why is "displaying text to the screen" a service we delegate to the OS? Why does Linux consider window management an "application" to be swapped out, but Windows and macOS consider it an integral part of the OS platform? Why do we expect an OS to provide a TCP/IP stack these days, and no one complains that they can't implement their own TCP/IP stack in their mobile app? Clocks are widgets in linux, and an integral part of the OS in windows and macOS. Heck even down to the programming language level we don't have consistency. Is C necessarily better or worse than say Python or Javascript because it doesn't have a native String type and you can pick your String library?
You are confusing "Number of steps" with "Easy".

They're also the same number of steps. If I tell my OS to open an `html` file, it opens a browser window.
