Only 3% of the 30% go to payment processing. Hence why they still want 27% when developers choose their own payment system.

The 27% are seen similar to Sony and Nintendo as fees to be on a platform which has wide reach but also gives tools and does stuff to enable app distribution.

Is that too much? I don‘t know but it‘s what all appear to do. The platform politics didn‘t evolve as fast as the tech though. So what about apps like Patreon, Netflix, Spotify, that was never on the table in 2008.
But malloc calls sbrk(), right?
"One of the primary strengths of ECS is its cache efficiency, which is crucial when managing the simulation of thousands to millions of entities in a massive, open-world multiplayer environment. Unlike traditional object-oriented approaches where an object contains both data and methods, ECS separates data and behavior. This separation allows for component data of similar types to be stored contiguously in memory. When the game runs and needs to process these components, the CPU can efficiently load and process large blocks of component data with minimal cache misses. This translates to faster computation and smoother gameplay, which are essential for maintaining performance in large-scale multiplayer environments."

Huh? Is there something I'm missing here? Does he think that object-oriented languages store a copy of behavior code for every instance of an object?
> Google gets the full 30% for only their software work

Not that I trust Google (my personal phones are Apple) but how do you think a phone with all software made by Samsung will work? Every time I lay my hands on one of their phones (and I have one on my desk for Android development) something annoys me. They somehow think they know how to do UI/UX but they still haven't learned after all these years of "customizing" Android.

So yes, Google deserves some money. Not 30% but some.
Feedback regarding quantum ready cloud storage
Seeking Feedback on Quantum-Ready Cloud Storage Concept.

Hello,

I'm researching on an innovative cloud storage solution, designed to offer enhanced security with quantum-resistant encryption. This service aims to protect sensitive data against future quantum computing threats by using advanced cryptographic algorithms.

I’m looking for feedback on the following:

1. Market Need: Do you see a growing need for quantum-ready encryption in industries like finance or healthcare?
2. Technical Approach: How feasible do you find using lattice-based cryptography for quantum resistance?
3. Value Proposition: What features or benefits would make a quantum-ready cloud storage service appealing to you?

Your insights will be invaluable as I refine this concept. Thank you in advance for your thoughts!

Two things that KDE did/does better than Windows.

No. On German and Swiss layouts, that key is a dead key: it doesn't type anything by itself when you press it. It's meant to combine with another subsequent keypress in order to yield a whole glyph with a diacritic as in, e.g., backtick followed by "e" giving "è."

It's been a while since I've been at a proper QWERTZ layout aus dem Sprachgebiet over a US QWERTY keyboard, but my memory is that the dead keys have odd behaviors when you try to incorporate them into shortcuts.

Vaults of ambition: shock find under London Museum enchants its builders
In college (around 2012ish) I made some poems by transcribing a recording of myself mumbling gibberish into Dragon Naturally Speaking, which partially relied on Markov chains for its ASR. It would output some string of text, and then I'd delete all the words it output from its dictionary; repeat. It worked very well for creating a list of (slant) rhymes, I have not found a better way to do this. As a literary tool, I've found LLMs to be seriously lacking in the ability to fuck around like this.

I agree in principle, but the people that should be sued are the scammers, not Google.

With real money one could go after the money mule (or dumb scammer) through their bank account. Maybe Google could be liable if the victim paid through Google Pay, but I somewhat doubt that Google Pay will let you transfer half a million. In this case, the victim's choice of virtual currency makes it very difficult to find the criminals. I don't see why Google would need to pay up for that.

I suppose it's always worth a try to sue Google, because there's nobody else to sue.

I think command-line is the key word here. It is not so hard on Ubuntu in the GUI. But for example if you installed Red Hat CLI-only version, it's probably so hard you'll give up and just ask Red Hat support to look at your logs and send you the commands to run.
FWIW, there are large publishers which successfully negotiate with the ilk of Microsoft[1] and Sony[2] to get a better revenue split, as consoles in fact have more functional competition than mobile phone app stores: people who own a gaming console might could reasonably own a second one if they were interested in some game that was only available on one console or the other; this simply doesn't happen with phones, as only a small handful of particularly-crazy power users would ever carry around a second cell phone. If you want to not release on Xbox unless Microsoft gives you a better deal, it doesn't sound anywhere near as ridiculous to tell your potential customers "you'll have to also own a Playstation" as if you tried to explain to people that to use your new social network they have to also own and carry around an Android phone (or, worse, whatever the third option might be... is there even a third option anymore that would make any sense? ;P). You can tell that Apple has some insane amount of fundamentally market-distorting power as they seriously charge large publishers -- the ones you would expect to have the most leverage -- more than smaller ones; and, with maybe a sole exception of WeChat, we have never heard of anyone getting a better deal out of them, ever.

I can't speak to multiple users of sbrk, I assume that would fail. That's a property of sbrk though, not of malloc (or memory allocation in general); on Windows, you can have as many implementors of malloc as you want, so long as malloc/free calls happen to the same implementor. Each malloc implementor just asks for anonymous backing pages for their own heaps (via VirtualAlloc/mmap).
The thing is, if you're a desktop user, you generally use gparted. If you're not using a GUI, you're already a sysadmin in most cases.

Systems like Raspberry Pi make these things easier, too. They both have docs, or you can do on your system with gparted already. Also, as I aforementioned, none of the CLI tools eat your data unless you force them to.

Lastly, all the tools accept KB, MB, etc. as prefixes/suffixes. So, I rarely make back of the napkin math for these things, if ever.

> But for example if you installed Red Hat CLI-only version, it's probably so hard you'll give up and just ask Red Hat support to look at your logs and send you the commands to run.

Actually it's not hard. You only need to know that you have your filesystems in a LVM (Logical Volume Manager) container. Unless you're not changing the size of the LVM volume, it's the same thing, only the device name changes.

If you're adding disks, you need to first increase the LVM size to span the other disk, and add or resize your partiton there.

It's not intentionally hard, you meet with a layer you generally don't see everyday. Even if you boot a LVM containing system from a live distro, say GRML, you only need to "activate" the LVM container with a single LVM command, and it's the same thing after that point.

It's a matter of thinking in layers.

NASA is paying SpaceX something like $200 million per launch. They won’t want to do that unless they have to. And if they did they still need to figure out what to do with Starliner. If they pay SpaceX and then later manage to get Starliner to work then that’s a lot of money down the drain.
> When did schools start allowing cell phone use during class?

I wonder to what extent this is an effect of the age of the teachers themselves. The median age of a teacher in the US is ~40 years old, so a significant proportion of them are accustomed to phones being an essential part of social life and hence may be a bit more lenient to students occasionally checking their phone when it appears to be non-disruptive. Needless to say though, this easily becomes a non-fallacious slippery slope.

How does this work? Assume that the log crate in its internal state has a lock it uses for synchronizing writing to some log endpoint. If I have two versions of log in my process then they must have two copies of their internal state. So they both point to the same log endpoint, but they have one mutex each? That means it "works" at compile time but fails at runtime? That's the worst kind of "works!"

Or if I depend transitively on two versions of a library (e.g. a matrix math lib) through A and B and try to read a value from A and send it into B. Then presumably due to type namespacing that will fail at compile time?

So the options when using incompatible dependencies are a) it compiles, but fails at runtime, b) it doesn't compile, or c) it compiles and works at runtime?
Dumb phone turned off and in backpack would serve fine for this scenario.
It really is not, and I would assume less 1% of consumer purchases are done using a bank tranfer / account number.
The 3% payment charge is the transaction fee, but that doesn’t take into account the actual handling of the rest of the transaction lifecycle, like managing refunds, or chargebacks. A single chargeback will cost you $25 whether it’s successful or not (plus refunding the transaction if you lose), but on google play and co it’s just refunded.

Ah, I was wondering what would happen if you're using a type from lib-v2 and an intermediary library passes you that type from lib-v1, and the type has changed internally. Good to know the Rust compiler is set up to catch that.

(I've seen cases where that happens with C and C++ software, and things seem to compile and run... until everything explodes. Fun times.)
> Productivity has risen to the point that the world simply has too many people to meaningfully employ them all.

This is only a problem because the increase in productivity is captured by corporations. If people were paid accordingly, they could autonomously decide to work fewer hours and everyone would be able to put in the 10-20h/week. Keynes foresaw it nearly 100 years ago.
>Secondly, running without swap will cause bad performance (like, whole system freezing for a long time)

in my experience it is exactly the opposite. unless you swap onto ssds, swapping will grind the whole system to a halt, while without swap the oom-reaper will kill the culprit and you can immediately work on the system to check/fix things. result also depends on your applications of course.

As a youngling I have to say, I always liked the idea of the shell as something where you can pipe stuff inbetween programs. It is a genius concept. The problem is that in the real world implementation of the idea you have something like bash, that sucks for text processing with all its footguns of unescaped strings, spaces, wildcard operators and such.

Maybe it has to do with strings not really having been a first class citizen in C? Processing strings in C is a (dangerous) pain even in the year 2024.

I often find myself just writing python scripts calling subprocesses (if needed, so much is already included), ideally with a --json option so I get proper machine-readable output. This has shown to be far more stable and reliable than bash.

They’re all covered by identical regulations.

Culturally, though, small retailers may still believe that credit card fees are higher than they actually are.

They may be concerned about refund and chargeback processes.

Or, their gateway either cannot offer credit cards on their POS terminals for technical or compliance reasons, or the retailer simply hasn’t enabled the payment methods.

It’s not regulation in NL that blocks small retailers from taking V or MC.
It depends on the implementation. For example, jemalloc can use sbrk(), sbrk() and mmap() or just mmap(), depending on what your os supports.

oList := WinGetList("ahk_exe " ActiveExe " ahk_class " ActiveClass,,,)
Loop oList.Length
{
index := oList.Length - A_Index + 1
State := WinGetMinMax("ahk_id " oList[index])
nextID := WinGetID("ahk_id " oList[index])

if (State != -1) ; if window not minimised
{
WinID := oList[index]
break
}
}
WinActivate("ahk_id " WinID)
} ; }}}1

the 'activeclass' AND 'activeexe' are there to handle cases like explorer. I primarily use this for multiple instances of firefox (although I've got specific binds to jump directly to non-media and media firefox)
