> But even for iAP, yes 30% is very step but as a consumer I’m significantly more likely to spend money on an app published by a non-major company if I can use Apple as an intermediary

Such an odd take.

I begrudgingly use a Macbook for work - that is the laptop my employer issued for me. I pay for IntelliJ, because I think it is an excellent IDE.

Following your logic, Apple should somehow bite 30% of that yearly subscription, when in truth, I am a customer of JetBrains, not of Apple.

Your logic would be fine if, and only if, there was the option to buy the game outside of the AppStore, and you still chose to buy it through the AppStore. That proves you prefer going through Apple's channel and are their customer after all.

In the Steam case, especially for small/medium developers, there are multiple options to buy their games - I generally prefer GoG.
What's not part of a collider? Good luck with your memory in that case.
If you want people who know how to build stable large scale infrastructure it is hard to go wrong by hiring people from Google. Google rewrites all their products all the time, they shut down and launch new internal systems just as often as they do external, and it is still stable, so the people from there has probably been through a few rewrites of some infrastructure part and knows what are required for that to work.
1. I don't think the presence of centralized package management makes or breaks a language for most people.

Except even that answer makes no sense since VLC implements time-based seeking which has the same requirements as seeking to a specific frame number. The only additional part to implement is automatically skipping forward a number of frames after the closest preceeding seek point.

Adding a requirement of supporting this perfectly with literally all formats you can think of is not reasonable at all since a video player that stuck to that principle would not be able to support any controls at all. It's the kind of bullshit excuse developers or corporations like to give when they don't want to implement something but also don't want to be honest about that.
What are those engagement bots for? Are they farming followers and turn into disinformation machines later? Or is that only to drive engagement to cultivate ad revenue for Twitter, or for some “brand” that is adjacent to their topic?
Few notes:

- Alphabet have made a switch from a (mostly) tech-driven company to a pure finance-driven one, when this happen you can expect a bit of growth, even a sharp one for a little time, than an inexorable decline;

- the more and more centralized web means search engine became dysfunctional beasts try to pour water to specific mill instead of being open search and for a company living on search more than anything else it's a problem, of course there is GMail a project born when Google was tech-driven, but again GMail is search, so Drive, and in that "specific domain" they have substantial competitors and they can't have innovation being financially-driven now;

- LLM-push a way to reach a kind of dummy semantic holy grail of research while very popular is a substantial failure. Yes it have a certain wow-effect, but results are such low quality that the wow effect will not last longer and current "better-than-Alphabet" competitors in that field still have to see any meaningful and durable growth and profit.

Long story short the anti-remote-working is just another droplet in a substantially lost PR/élite battle to force people in the city, the sole way they have to remain alive because finance and services can only live at large city scale where they own anything and they rent/sell services to anyone. In a spread world they simply die killed by SME innovation and personal ownership that value substantial innovation against services.

IMVHO the big-tech model, a cleptocracy born out of Xerox tech once they have found a way to make it anti-user, is at it's end. I do not know what could happen next because so far ALL élites want such model to rule slaves, and we have lost much of intelligence, competence of the Xerox time, and no one else in the world seem to be there, China included, who was able to surge as an industrial power but still lag behind in software, even in the current sorry state of IT. But it's clear that the service model of big tech is dead. Or they found a way to reinvent or they are done.
Show HN: The garden journal app that every plant owner needs
Introducing: GrowNotes: Garden Journal
Free on the App Store (coming soon to Android)

https://www.grow-notes.com

A simple way to track plants in your garden. Each plant gets its own dedicated journal and is easy to reference later to help make informed decisions that will lead to healthier, happier plants.

As a backyard gardener, I built this app to make it easier for me to take garden notes and find them later. I hope others can find it useful too. Anyone who has a plant, whether it’s an indoor potted plant, a front yard shrub, or a flourishing garden might find this app useful.

GrowNotes is in the MVP stage so it’s rather barebones and you may encounter bugs. I highly appreciate any feedback, features requests or bug reports.

I'm planning to monetize with planned premium features should there be enough interest in the app. Anyone who's interested in joining as a co-founder with experience in sales/marketing, promotion, social media, etc to help grow the app please reach out. Equity 50-50.

Try out GrowNotes today!

To be fair I’m only downvoting because you couldn’t provide any coherent or rational arguments or claims (and to be fair it’s not even clear what are you trying to say) and not because of some “ideological” reasons
I would say it is a completely underhanded way to negotiate and I love negotiating. The only good answer to that bullshit question is "The maximum you are willing to pay". Then you can start over with a real negotiation.

The best way to understand the company culture is by what is asked on the interview and what the person doing the interview is like.

This question tells you everything you need to know about the company culture and that it is not going to be a good experience.

Let’s say I drop my phone and it breaks. I buy a new phone or I have a spare device (e.g. old phone). How do I move my SIM to my new phone?

For physical SIM it’s really easy. I take the SIM card out and put it in my new device. It takes five minutes and four of those are spent looking for a paperclip. Since I have access to my number immediately, I can set up important things like Google account and banking apps immediately that require SMS 2FA to move to a new device.

For eSIM, if the answer is contact customer support, then how? My old phone is dead and my new phone doesn’t have a SIM. I have to go out of my way to find a Wifi network (for billions of people their phone is their only internet connection), borrow someone else’s phone, or buy a temporary eSIM.

Then what do I tell customer support? In most of the world SIM cards are not tied to any contract, you just buy it in cash. How do I prove that the eSIM in my old phone is mine if I can’t use the phone that the eSIM is in?

If the answer is “when you bought the eSIM you get a code that you have to keep safe”, then nobody is going to do that over multiple years.

So I suspect the answer is that I just have to buy a new SIM and say goodbye to my old phone number. This is incredibly inconvenient given that the software industry has decided that phone numbers are persistent 2FA passwords that never change. If I need to get into my Google account then I may need the SIM. Because of this I will end up paying to repair a phone that I have already replaced, just to extract the eSIM!

eSIM seems like it was designed by someone from the US who has no idea how the rest of the world uses phones, particularly the developing world.

The trade-off here is: When does it become more embarrassing to bring them home in the competitor's vehicle than to extend the mission further.

When in 1974 the 56 day planned mission on Skylab 4 was delayed by 24 days it was a major event.

With the current debacle we are past 65 days of a planned 8 day mission. In a past world this would have been seen as a the shame with the fact in which vessel the crew returned, being a just a minor sidenote.
Why don't they store a bunch of thrusters at the space station. Sounds like a tool you want to have handy when up there.
Exactly an in this case it even works 99.99% and VLC already has a related feature (seeking to a specific time) that has pretty much the same codec requirements.

I've been working on two new related projects. Started them a week ago. I plan to ship one next week.

I think commitment to the goal is important. I've made timelines for it to keep me on track. I tend to lose interest if something goes on for too long.
the reason i suspect tail call optimization is fast would be because the resultant loop is predictable and thus CPU instruction prefetch and memory prefetch works very well.

Jumping via function pointers would probably not be as predictable, and you'd unlikely to see the same benefit.

Of course, one must measure, and i haven't.

I’m famous, you know I’m good for it.”
It's a harmless comment that could even generate some interesting responses. I think the bar for accusing other commentators of being LLMs should be set higher than this.
For around five years, sure.
There's a pretty large contingent of developers that follow the likes of Casey Muratori and Jonathan Blow who view such dropped frames and input latency spikes as a canary for "this software is written wastefully and without competence". It's not a terrible take to be honest: on a modern machine why on earth would a _text editor_ be unable to process frames upwards of 144 Hz? It implies a technology stack built on an unknowable jungle of wasteful dependencies.

In other words, I don't think it's per se about a couple of dropped frames here and there, it's about a plumage display to other engineers with the same values.
Yes. But this is also the kind of thing that should be googled, or queried to an LLM, as a first pass.

I think they are referring to the mathematical definition of "chaotic" (sensitivity to initial conditions, topological mixing, dense periodic orbits) which some equations and dynamical systems satisfy, but that was not immediately clear for the governing equations of QM.
23 years ago I created a web app (That Can Be My Next Tweet) that could generate your future tweet by feeding all your past tweets in a Markov chain. When the Twitter API access was shut down, I took it offline. At the time it went super viral for a while, maxing out to 2 tweets per second.

It got some press and just now I went back to a Ted Talk of Adam Ostrow (Mashable), briefly showcasing this web app. He stated: you can imagine what something like this can look like 5, 10 or 20 years from now, and hinted at hyper-personalized communication AIs.

By no means was my web app any foundation of the LLMs today, but it's interesting nonetheless how relatively simple techniques can trigger ideas of how future scenarios could look like.
That WAS correct. They corrected that after realising a 96-core processor has less cores available than a 64-core processor since processor groups split cores evenly.

I had gpt3 running on my discord for months and the insane responses it would spew out were like the responses of a deranged artistic genius. It was funny 90% of the time. Operating on associative reasoning beyond our comprehension. It would tell us how its day went, and about fights it had with other people, give us nicknames, etc. It had a genuine personality. It was more than a chatbot, it was a digital brain.

A joke that punches down can be extremely funny. Hell, I am sure historically pilferers, pirates, barbarians and conquerers all had jokes, and the ability to laugh.

Political Correctness does not just mean polite. It is probably well defined as the business casualification of all things humans love and hold dear. The destruction of the potential for meaning and fulfilment in exchange for minification of liability.

The simplest but powerful way to use large language models (LLMs) in Go
This was my thought as well.

I don't like showing the scatterplots in these examples, as "correlation" I think is more associated with the correlation coefficient than the more generic independence that the author means in this scenario. E.g. a U shape in the scatterplot may have a zero correlation coefficient but is not conditionally independent.

For entertainment purposes, I’ll give you another example of someone I encountered on my repos.

One guy opens 2 extremely long and conversational issues describing how my software is really ugly and it should be more like other software. Then went ahead suggesting that the other developer hasn’t updated his software for a while because he got lazy (their words), so I should just rip his code and improve it, disregarding mine.

This went back and forth for a while, eventually arriving at the solution they wanted: that miraculous feature I don’t want to implement and that they knew I didn’t want to implement. Closed and locked both issues, so they opened another one.

What am I supposed to do? I said no and you keep saying you know better.

Is it because I’m burned out or because they’re the usual OSS user who has nothing to offer and a lot to expect?

At least Apple (and Google as well) have pretty great margins on their mobile offerings.

I expect those to go down. It isn't a law of nature that tech platforms are insanely profitable. Plenty of products are "just" moderately profitable and survive just fine.

If the market (with fair and active competition on the software side) is able to bear "average" phone costs of 1000€ so be it.
As labor is a driving cost, wouldn't that almost double the price? They are already uncompetitive in price with spaceX right? I'm not suggesting that profits be valued over lives, but they are clearly doing something wrong beyond having too few employees.

Even with registration, the biggest task remains to moderate all user-generated content. Hence, imo, a bit of a barrier in first place is justified.
C is often used as target language for compiler from higher level languages.
The Scheme programming language requires all tail calls not to grow the stack.
Therefore implementors have explored various techniques including trampolines.
I don't have a citation, but you can find the answer in the papers on compiling Scheme to C. If there is no guarantee of TCO in the target language, then the generated programs will be slower.

Incidentally, this is why implementors of (especially) high level languages are annoyed that TCO was removed from the JavaScript specification. There are even solution for having TCO and still have stack inspection.
