> I don't see what difference it makes whether you use some component built into the browser or some component built on top of the browser.

And this is why you fail. When you use components built into the browser, everyone gets to benefit from the same years of experience and testing, so that edge cases you have never thought about are handled correctly. Websites that re-implement text boxes, history, scrolling, so many things, never get every detail right. They always break on cases the built-in equivalent would handle correctly. Sometimes weird edge-cases, but pretty often completely normal cases that don't appear on the developer's development machine.

I work on Dart.

Programming language popularity is hard. The network effects are absolutely massive. 99% of all programming languages are a rounding error away from having zero users. To start to compete with any of the big entrenched languages seems to require either:

1. An extremely easy migration story so the language can leverage ("parasitize"?) the existing ecosystem of another alread popular language. That's C++ for C, Kotlin for Java, TypeScript for JS, etc. This is definitely the easiest path to success.

But it means your language is significantly hampered in its design because of the need to be compatible with the language it's building on. This is why C++ is still failing to be a safe language and is a sprawling mess. It's why Kotlin has type erasure. It's why TypeScript, despite having a fantastically complex type system, is still unsound and can't use types to compile more efficient code.

2. A compelling platform or framework that developers want to be on so bad they'll learn a new language. Rails for Ruby, iOS for Objective-C and Swift. This is the harder path but it means the new language is less shackled to a previous one and can be more innovative.

Dart took the second path. I agree it would be nice if Dart had more pillars shoring up its success than just Flutter and I hope we get there one day. But one successful framework is more than most newer languages have and you have to start somewhere.

I'm obviously biased, but I think Dart is a good general purpose language and would work well for many different domains. But fighting against the network effects is hard and growth takes time.
Certainly not because of their security model, lol. It's because they're phones.

But requiring user permissions for apps to do shady shit is a good thing. Cannot fathom why people are against that.

I was going to say the same thing. There is nothing "deep" about this history, the article is a string of poorly connected events that still try to bring up the spectre of wrong ideas that came out in the 60's tying Samhaim to our modern Halloween which has been refuted many many times. I am sorry but bonfires are not really associated with modern Halloween and just because ancient persians used them does not meaningfully tie that in with trick or treating, ghouls and ghosts. Even this actual line sounds nothing like our modern halloween:

> A 12th-century Irish source records a week of feasting during this time, when “there would be nothing but meetings and games and amusements and
entertainments and eating and feasting" (sounds fun!).2 There is talk of
kindling sacred fires, and of spirits and ghosts wandering the earth. But very little detail.

This sounds more like Thanksgiving (or fall festivals Oktoberfest etc) than halloween.

Two books that would be good for you to read then:

"Stand Out of Our Light " - Similar message as "Surveillance Capitalism" - from an ex-Google'r - but without the depth and breadth. Not as heavy but packs a near similar punch.

This is a complex topic, but it's a bit simpler when outcomes are bounded, such as a binary outcome that either occurs or does not occur. In that case, the impact of any one factor is bounded.

In the scenario you're describing, this other factor drowns out any influence the treatment has on the outcome. You'll struggle to get a statistically significant result (low power) and the confidence interval on the treatment effect will include 0. This too can be a valuable finding: sometimes the answer is that the treatment is not particularly effective.
You missed the sarcasm. If all can exist together, which one is the “native” one? If the answer is all of the above, then the consistency argument for native doesn’t hold much water.

What does it mean to say statistically people are doing worse than their parents? By what metrics?

Educational attainment has been increasing for decades so it's hard to believe that it's become significantly more difficult to get in. The school I went to has an 86% acceptance rate, for example. It's also hard to believe that going to a state school is going to doom you. There just aren't enough ivy graduates for that to be practical. The BLS stats also indicate that getting a math/engineering/CS degree is a pretty solid choice and is more likely than not to bring you success (e.g. the median personal income with those degrees is a decent amount higher than the overall median household income. Want to have a single-income household? You can do that while living better than average).

If comparing to one's parents, obviously the bar is different if you come from lower vs. upper-middle classes, which is sort of my point. My B performance put me in a much better position than my parents. I could've done a decent amount worse and still met that bar. The child of an MIT-graduated engineer has a higher bar to meet, but that's not actually necessary to do okay in life.

I didn't imply that having these qualities will automatically reward you. I was addressing the idea that if we can tell ahead of time who will "amount to something", those people are somehow less deserving of their success, which is ridiculous. My teachers identified that I was likely to be successful starting in kindergarten, but I've still had to spend the rest of my life consistently showing up and doing the work. I'm sure I also could be more aggressive about chasing career success, but I'm happy not to. If others want to do that, good for them. Maybe they had engineer tiger parents that taught them not to be such slackers, and now they can be rewarded for that. If they're happy then that's great.

> Mac mini is made with over 50 percent recycled content overall, including 100 percent recycled aluminum in the enclosure, 100 percent recycled gold plating in all Apple-designed printed circuit boards, and 100 percent recycled rare earth elements in all magnets. The electricity used to manufacture Mac mini is sourced from 100 percent renewable electricity. And, to address 100 percent of the electricity customers use to power Mac mini, Apple has invested in clean energy projects around the world. Apple has also prioritized lower-carbon modes of shipping, like ocean freight, to further reduce emissions from transportation. Together, these actions have reduced the carbon footprint of Mac mini by over 80 percent.

I’m inclined to trust Apple with this information but the skeptical side of me is questioning, how can we fact check this data? If it’s true it is very cool.

does this mean "is this available as a pdf for no money and copyable?"

The book publishing industry is unrecognizable economically from what it was 25 years ago. Many people here have no idea, dont care and maybe worse. It is important to note that the book publishing industry also had its own excesses, some warranted and many not. A staple of publishing like this Chicago Manual of Style was used and abused to generate excess profits no doubt about it. The college textbook industry was (and still is) an eggregious offender for economic dark patterns.

All said, a no-cost PDF of this book is not the answer in the long term IMHO, economics and all considered. (USA here)
Salesforce is the technical backing of the middle manager layer. The lemmings feed it data and neighboring software feeds it data so that middle managers can make fancy reports and presentations about how all the lines are going up that everyone forgets immediately as soon as they leave the room.

I'm sure it has some actual legitimate functions too but they're so utterly lost in a deluge of MBA bullshit that I don't think it's remotely worth the price. We don't have one where I work. We run a pieces-parts setup of custom apps alongside ancient code in our website, and it definitely has issues and we are addressing, but the CEO has no desire to buy anything like Salesforce. He calls it "data noise:" it looks like data and it looks important but it doesn't mean shit.
Oh no I meant literally 5. I didn't notice I worded this wrong.
It shifts the risk of slow business onto the employees (servers) since the business is able to shift the lack of revenue onto them. One could argue it also shifts the reward when business is booming. However, that's not 100% fair. Because the business is willing over seat tables and sell food even if they don't have enough servers or kitchen staff to keep up. This results in a poor experience which means servers are working hectically and often reduces their tips (as a percentage per table).

You can get 'sandwich' enclosures that put the mini between the monitor arm and the monitor itself, or off to the side. That's what I do with an M1 Mac Mini sitting next to me. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise since you can get these cheaper than what Apple would sell them for :)
I loved Richard Scarry as a child—still do!—and I'm convinced his books really helped build up my vocabulary as I learned English in first grade.

A detail I only mentally noted as an adult: the butchers in his books are always pigs themselves. A pig selling ham, sausages and, presumably, cuts of pork is a bit morbid (and also hilarious in a black humor sort of way), but it fits in with the world so much that I didn't even think twice about it as a kid. It just slid past me.

I still remember one of the books I had as a child—can't recall the title exactly—that had a bunch of urban scenes with various objects labeled. What really stood out were the little details and funny little stories going on. The stories and the humor got me to pay attention and actually care about the objects (and their labels!) far more than any generic vocabulary book for kids.

What I love about Richard Scarry is that he is never patronizing or condescending. Too many authors of children's books either try to write down to kids, try to write what they think kids ought to read, or both. But kids aren't idiots and they can tell! Well, I can't speak for everyone, but at least as a kid myself I found a lot of children's works either patronizing or unpleasant—works that were trying too hard to be childlike or, especially, works that were transparent morality plays.

Scarry's work is nothing like this at all. It's oriented for and accessible to kids, but it manages to be simple and silly in a genuine way. The art and stories are actually cute and funny rather than caricatures of what an adult thinks a child would find cute and funny. You can tell Scarry was making something he would enjoy himself. That's why I loved his books when I was five and why I still love his books now.

It's hard to find other children's books like that. I collect illustrated books and the majority I see in stores are awful. The most successful exception I've seen are books by Joe Klassen (of I Want My Hat fame) along with his common collaborator Mac Barnett. Their books are legitimately funny and visually attractive to adults, they're willing to write stories that aren't entirely saccharine, and children absolutely love them. I've seen that first-hand.

It's a similar situation because the laws aren't enforceable against the pop-up stores in the same way you can't sue an anonymous subreddit moderator from being discriminatory.

> Likewise, would Reddit force the moderators to allow posts and comments from previously banned users?

In Reddit's case, moderators are using tools that automatically ban users that have activity in specific subreddits. It's not like it's hidden bias, the bans are obviously because of a person's religion.
Given the practical predictability of at least some (broadly) social phenomena and interventions (or in other areas with large "factor surfaces"), not sure why any kind of social science is impossible as such. Maybe some things are out of reach, but that would hold for other sciences, too.
Isn't steamdeck a better option for this use case?
Nadella has been horrible and a huge mistake for Microsoft. They will continue to suffer under his leadership.
At least ballmer had goals and pretended to care what customers want. Windows is an unmitigated disaster under nadella and it doesn’t need to be. No new innovation is happening and hardware is more performant than ever. Windows had issues under ballmer because the hardware wasn’t there yet and they were trying new things. Nadella only wants spyware and bloatware and everything as a subscription / service. The leadership can’t change soon enough, hopefully his back room deals with OpenAI come to light and blow up sooner than later.
Third party auditors that come in to verify it. "We" probably can't verify it, but Apple more than likely has these claims audited so they are prepared when they get sued over them.
Yeah the way I think of it is that most big organizations are willing to burn the costs of a whole employee or a whole team to avoid adopting new/risky software

As long as the cost is kinda spread out and not directly visible by management

So yeah just being 20% better doesn’t mean anything, because most big orgs are much more inefficient than that anyway, almost across the board

> You need to keep up with the native UI across all the platforms. (Or, of course, you don't, in which case there are gaps, bugs, inconsistency, jank, etc.)

And for the latter, the result is something that mostly does what web-based solutions do (with well-understood downsides), only with virtually no ecosystem in comparison.

I do think there are opportunities for cross-platform native development solutions like https://skip.tools/, which offer an alternative to React Native.
It's obviously not the best Arthur C. Clarke story

Exactly, and the ending is only one of several weak aspects. So why defend the story with a vague insult to another reader's acumen when they suggest, justifiably, that time spent reading it may be better spent elsewhere?

Someone unfamiliar with Clarke who reads this piece of junk may decide they don't want to waste even more time with The Nine Billion Names of God or The Sentinel or The Star, and I'm sure we agree that'd be a shame.
Max 64gb. Was hoping they would allow it to go a bit higher.
On the front is far more practical for wired headphones. Plus you can always do something with USB-C pretty easily if you want to run it out of the back; if I had to choose a dongle for either fixed speakers or headphones, I’d pick them for the speakers.
Also the base ram for the pro chip is 24gb. I hope it will be the same for the MacBook Pro.
'Chaos' is a great observation. I only had a couple of Scarry books as a child but there was something dynamic about them compared to most children's books and I think it was the frenetic and chaotic nature of them. There was always a pickle barrel spilling over, or oranges rolling across a road.

I didn't even know what a pickle barrel was, but it obviously made a mess when someone crashed into it.

Thank you! There are definitely platforms that intentionally gate-keep their APIs. A good example is LinkedIn, which many companies still try to force-build their own integrations with. Our goal is to allow each developer to make their own informed decision regarding the policies of the platforms that they're working with. For our hosted service, we want to prioritize use cases where the end-user truly owns the data. We can also refer to legal precedent cases where many other companies make unofficial APIs.

As a certified Salesforce B2C Commerce Cloud Architect who has been out of a job for months, this alarmingly impacts me. Looks like I'm gonna need to replatform my skills to be relevant.

I've been working on the platform since it was called Demandware, and I've been on numerous implementations and sites while working for a partner/consulting firm. I was laid off in January. It seems that Salesforce is pushing a mircoservices architecture for e-commerce (headless SFCC) hard. Separate systems are used to support features that Commerce Cloud can do on its own, but isn't setup that way for reasons I've yet to fully comprehend. Perhaps its more scalable, but Commerce Cloud already allowed you to scale up and down the number of backend servers with load. Perhaps they sell the idea that deployments can happen separately, so that you can update your homepage without bringing along any partially complete backend features, but in my years of doing releases, that's never once been an issue. Page redesigns aren't as big of a headache anymore thanks to a page designer feature. My cynical side says Big Cloud wants to sell more so it can charge more.

I got a job during the summer that used such a microservices system (first time I've ever worked on one), but that job ultimately didn't work out for reasons that weren't entirely technical.

AMA, I guess.

Sure, crypto exposes you to potential bad actors in the form of scammers, criminals, etc. Fiat exposes you to potential bad actors in the form of banks, governments, police, etc.

So, whichever represents a bigger threat to you is largely a question of circumstance.
