"What are you trying to say here?"

Any CTO foolish enough to rely on Apples partner offerings, had better plan on mitigating chaotic shifts in their architecture/legal/DRM policies... often primarily focused on locking out general purpose small firm software/hardware. i.e. The thread asks "Why borland" (or any sane company) would avoid Apple's walled garden ecosystem over the years.

"What uphill battle?"

Try to publish anything on their platform without signed software DRM, or integrated 3rd party hardware. Essentially your group will end up paying Apple with a tithe and legal encumbrances, as it is essentially a closed ecosystem from the users perspective.

"What burned down progress?"

The generic hardware around Intel cpus meant better support for standardized game engine GPU drivers, easier compiler ports, and alternate software sourcing ecosystems. The M2 was nice silicon... but few folks are going to invest years porting to Apples whimsical unicorn product trajectory for lower market share. lol

"This entire paragraph is completely mystifying to me"

That is because you don't yet understand most successful commercial software companies make money by reselling the same software, and not mired in the perpetual cost/liability of software porting to product-run specific chips.

I was not specifically picking on Apple here if that was your concern. You would likely have needed to experience the OS8 and Desktop PowerPC deprecation to understand why people avoided Apple for years after. =3

The only thing the US improves in is:

- people dying earlier than their European counterparts

- the price of insulin and healthcare in general is hundreds of times bigger than in other countries

- people being less free than anywhere in Europe: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/freedom-i...

- school shootings numbers rising each year

It feels that the US is "improving" in the wrong direction.
Isn't Subway the one that doesn't give any of their franchisees an exclusive territory, and allows anyone to open a new Subway just next door to your Subway?
And yet that price stuck around for a long time after... even so, does 10 years justify over doubling the price?
The ultimate goal of a nuclear a weapon (as of any weapon) is to keep peace.

So a good nuclear weapon is one that you will never need to use.
The Mythical Man-Moth

Most people understand that, and don’t object to water, they object to obscure chemicals that aren’t part of normal, natural food.

Bread is made of yeast, flour, water and salt. Anything else isn’t bread. And this isn’t pining for some mythical past: there are still countries where you can buy real bread on practically every street, and it’s better.

People know Subway bread doesn’t taste like food, even if they might have misidentified the specific ingredient that’s at fault.
> Subway now faces interest payments on debt following its sale to Roark and can’t afford to have declining earnings, sources said.

Just another company that will be bankrupt shortly after selling to private equity.

Fast food chains raised prices dramatically during Covid and are now dealing with declining sales as the economy cools. They need to actually push their suppliers to cut costs and try to get back to baseline.

This is a tough pill an independent company could swallow. But the new private equity owners will never do that.
With that kind of price might as well eat steak at home everyday. I use steak index as way to gauge if I want to eat out. And nowadays it's mostly likely cheaper to cook steaks at home
I've had some success with PMD/CMD [1]. It's Java-based, though, which could be a pain, depending on your setup. If your codebase uses Python, you can use Pylint for this, too.

Haven't gotten into a Subway since eating there had me shit and puke my guts out for 10 days straight in 2012. Not missing a thing.
Also, when you regularly promote coupons and sales through the app I feel bad about not using the app like I am wasting money. Lower your prices and get rid of the coupons.
I realize this is HN and not WSJ, but after Starbucks and McDonalds this seems like another demographic-broadening indicator in the “many people are newly not paying for relatively cheap, easily available cooked food” category.

Tech employees of course might be just going somewhere nicer. Why that would suddenly happen and as a bigger % of sales than tech employees represent is unclear.

For other people who can afford a $7 sandwich and can’t afford a $12 sandwich, this is a big signal.

In my opinion, their problem isn't cost, location, or menu. It is taste and quality.

Subway is the worst possible sandwich option. I'd rather go to the gas station and buy a protein bar than eat at Subway. I say this as someone that eats at Jersey Mike's and local sandwich shops twice a week.
The money doesn't have to be diverted. The Pentagon, who regularly fails audits, generally gets whatever they ask Congress for. Throw in concerns of a nuclear arms race and we'll print whatever money they ask for.

Well, they claim superior performance (which might be true), but the costs are high and include a small community, low quality APIs, best effort correctness/PromQL compatibility, and FUD marketing, so I decided to go with the de-facto standard without all of the issues above.
You're not telling me anything I don't already know, but if you want to be a part of "hacker culture" as it is colloquially understood, you can't be pro-establishment.

If your primary goal is corporatized profit, expect to be rejected by the community outright.
that's because it's not a reimplementation, it is cpython recompiled to wasm.
The location near me has their most expensive sub at $21 for a footlong. Fast food does not make sense anymore, the quality hasn't risen to meet the next higher tier of food but the prices have.
The 2nd coming of Web Forms, or Silverlight, take your pick.

It's not an ideological framing. The IRS calls it that.
honestly the menu change was a genius move, it raised prices without raising prices.

Prominently display preconfigured versions of your existing items, all of them with 'extra cheese' buried in the description. They charge $1.50 for two slices of processed cheese, quite possibly one of the worst value tack-ons in all of fast food.

The stuff you used to order is now shoved all the way down to the other side of the counter from where you order. You'll never order from it unless you already know about it.
For those exploring, here was one of the best “Python in the browser” projects I found:

I went into a Subway sometime within the last month to get a soda. Not only was the store completely devoid of customers, it also had no staff. It took 10+ min for an employee to appear. I considered just walking out with the drink during this long wait but I persisted. Once the employee showed up, the soda was overpriced, so I put it back and went to a McDonald's across the street.

Way back in 2006, Subway started baking their sandwich bread with those reusable silicone trays, and it imparted a bad flavor. The potato bread they used for kids sandwiches didn't use the weird trays and actually tasted like freshly baked bread still. A few years later they removed potato bread from their offerings.

Subway's quality has been on the decline for a long time. This latest crisis is simply the consequence of people finally changing their habits when forced to by price.
In recent years they changed the menu, jacked up the prices, and can't seem to keep staff that are willing to clean tables and bathrooms in any location.

It's just gross, go to any Subway, literally anywhere, and the one thing they seem to have in common is that their bathrooms are worse than any truck stop.

Bread is more narrow too in recent years. They've been raising prices and shrinkflating everything they can. Nice to know I wasn't the only consumer who noticed.

As a consumer, I know they didn't "wrong" me, but it sort of feels like they were saying, "We're so much more clever than you, we'll raise your prices and give you less and you won't notice!"

But everyone noticed. And it feels good to see their bottom line suffering. Hope this is the comeuppance they needed to get their act together.

I used to love Subway, hell I ever worked at a Subway when I was in high school. Subway has been on a steady decline the last 5-7 years.

Just one small story... a few months back I picked up some sandwiches for some contractors that were at my house. 3 subs, nothing fancy. And the total was $47 (without drinks, cookies, or a tip). For suburban Texas... this is absurd. The staff member told me, "Use the website or the app next time, there are better deals there..."

So the next time I went to use the website, and I couldn't... their website just dies and hangs on this loading screen if you have an ad-blocker running. Junky. No way I'm disabling my ad-blocker just to order a sandwich.

But... I do have to say, Thundercloud Subs are way better anyway, and most are $5 cheaper than Subway at this point. So Subway being as awful as it is... this pushed me to find something better. Ha. https://thundercloud.com/main-menu/

IMO, it's somewhat polarising. Some people love it, but I personally can't stand it. It feels too heavy, trying to dominate every aspect of writing code. I prefer lightweight editors, but I recognise it's a personal thing.

Agreed, on healthcare our government spends ~2x the amount it spends on defense.

> I saw one attached to a gas station where just about any foot long was $13+. Six-inchers? $10!!!

Yep. Basically nothing on the menu for under $13 for a 12-inch, and they've made it clear they're not interested in selling 6-inch sandwiches. I was thinking the other day that this is the danger of setting numerical targets. Obviously an MBA in the executive suite thinks it's important to maximize the per customer revenue per visit. Easiest way to do that is to run off every customer that doesn't hit that numerical target.

I was ready to go along with that but uh, it converts down to urethane. Let's maybe let people take the hit on their bread not being so fluffy (and probably more profitable) to avoid extra urethane in our food.

Similarly with a sibling comment about how we use condom lubricant in cooking oils, maybe we just shouldn't?
> Is this another leveraged buyout? When are they going to make that illegal?

Never. Doing a company buyout that is 'leveraged' just means it uses at least $1 in debt. Banning that is impractical and probably deeply harmful to the economy.

Furthermore, the 'losers' in an LBO that crashed are first the equity holders, who did the deal, and then maybe debtholders, who were well informed about the risks.
If they'd use bread instead of 'bread' I'd eat there all the time.
This is sadly to be expected in regards to PyPy, it was never taken seriously by the Python community, regardless of their heroic efforts.

> And don't install the Meta store or the Adobe store or the Amazon store or whatever.

Correct, yes. That is the same advice that you are trying to tell other people. "if you don't like it, just go buy something else", basically.

So yes, take your own advice and only install the app store that you prefer.

If that doesn't satisfy you, then you would have to admit that none of this is about choice, instead it would be about you wanting to force companies or other users to do what you want in your own way.

You can't have this both ways here. Every single time you throw around arguments like "go buy a different thing", that same exact line of thinking can be thrown back at you, to tell you to just not install the app stores that you don't like.

Pick one. This argument either is bad, or it can be thrown back at you when you use it. You can't use that argument and then run away when its thrown back at you.

> As a consumer, my wife chose iOS because it currently offers a tightly integrated experience that doesn't get in her way.

They can still have that. Just don't install those other app stores. Thats your advice that you throw around. So follow it.

What an awful paper title, saying "Symbolic Graphics Programs" when they just mean "vector graphics". I don't understand why they can not just use the established term instead. Also, there is no "program" here, in the same way that coding HTML is not programming, as vector graphics are not supposed to be Turing complete. And where they pulled the "symbolic" from is completely beyond me.
> I'm sure you could match human performance

Not. You still would need an human to sample this moths, kill them appropriately, and manipulate it carefully to move it in the correct position under your binocular in the correct light and place. They are fragile and you can't do it without an human.

Would be worse than what you have currently. No capability to sample selectively, or to jump in advance to all the interesting parts (instead to do all the walk for every single species).

In the end you will have a worst performance, much more work to do, and none of the trained experts available to put any control in your system. Mimetic moths can deceive even a well trained expert.
Between the price increase and the now effectively-mandatory tip, the price of a footlong sandwich has doubled in less than 4 years. Gee, I wonder why sales have dropped?

I'm similar, I don't follow the news right as it comes out very closely because it's too much and too obviously working on emotions. I do later read semi-historical information after enough time has passed that a more rational perspective can be discussed, though. I do this to avoid being corralled into one way of thinking through manipulation of the narrative (in purpose or by bias) in the moment, but later I want to see how the chips fell after time has allowed for a more balanced perspective with nuances.

It's not clear to me what the core issue is here.

A lot of people say "it's too expensive for what you get" which feels true, but I experience sticker shock with all fast food these days.

My last few meals on GrubHub (I live in SF):

- 2x Double Cheeseburgers from Calibur: $39.90

- 2x Super Burrito from local Mexican restaurant: $41.24

- General's Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Rice, and Cream Cheese Wontons from local Chinese restaurant: $60.34

- Chicken Cashew Nut, Pananag Curry, Rice from local Thai: $48.14

So like... it's all extreme these days? $40 for two cheeseburgers makes Subway seem tame in comparison.

It could very well be the quality of their ingredients. They did revise their menu/ingredients in 2021, https://newsroom.subway.com/2021-07-06-Subway-Debuts-Largest... but I didn't hear any big backlash regarding that so I assumed it was reasonably well received. I'm not especially convinced by this argument because I would expect cheaper ingredients to translate to cheaper costs and to allow them to capitalize on a slightly different market.

I know Subway has a long history of encouraging too high density of franchises, no source though. Is this just a continuation of that problem? Maybe higher density makes them perform even worse in the new, delivery-first market? Or maybe it's a failure to simply adapt to the delivery-first market? I know I don't order that many sandwiches because I default to thinking, "I can make a sandwich at home pretty easily" where I don't feel similarly about hot/cooked food delivery.

It could also just be the media blowing Subway out of proportion? A lot of the market is starting to show cracks and there were a few warning signs of recession recently. McDonalds reported weakening sales recently, too (https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/mcdonalds-s...) Is the problem not related to Subway at all? Are consumers just tightening their purse strings?

Show HN: Systema Robotica, a treatise on the order and evolution of robotkind
Systema Robotica is a multi-year endeavor to define, classify and demystify robots. The treatise has been published as a book on Amazon and also as an open access public work on LessWrong and TechRxiv.

The treatise defines what a robot is, classifies all past, present and future robots, and proposes a novel definition and test for sentience.

I welcome everyone's comments, inputs, feedback and suggestions. This is the first edition of Systema Robotica, and I intend to continue to build upon this early framework.

My niece had the following to say about this; I don't know if I agree but I wanted to share the insight:

* The group/indicator really is "people paying for absolutely cheap, easily available cooked food" instead of "relatively" - the demographic in question has experienced wages not increasing with inflation.

* A Tiktok comment she saw and pointed out to me said this: "I'm not paying $12 for a sandwich that used to be $5."

Perhaps their "5 dollar footlong ad" was simply too effective.

The museum has "Columbine III" (a slightly newer Super Constellation), which was also used by Eisenhower. It was delivered to them soon after it was retired in 1966.

I saw this plane decades ago when it was in an auxiliary hanger, before being moved to its present location. It was in decent shape then (you were allowed to walk through it), and hasn't spent decades sitting outside.

Obviously, Columbine III is not in flyable condition, and will likely never fly again.
