I think people forget how inaccessible it is for a newbie to start writing pure javascript directly from the API reference.

People need tutorials and walkthroughs, and need to build a an internal understanding of how these all work.

It’s a terrible thing.

Cloudflare is the company I hate the most: I think (what I know of) their tech is done right, and they’re just too big to put my eggs in their basket.
Water is fungible. If they need to pipe in 1 gallon of water, who pays the extra cost? The entity that used the last gallon? The entity that used the most? Nah. It’s averaged out across all users.

You also cannot scale up these alternative sources at will. They need to be sustainably
commercially viable.
> The listed features are all functionalities that Apple is using to gain an unfair advantage for ADJACENT products and services. It is not an issue that iOS has such features, the EU doesn't care.

AirDrop and AirPlay seem pretty benign from this standpoint; I guess you could argue they're using their ~30% market share in phones to try to unfairly influence the personal computer market with a feature that... transfers files? And, no remote playback solution is open at all for DRM reasons. AirPlay is no different in this regard: you either make some sort of "agreement" with Apple and they give you a certificate and a binary blob to run on your hardware, or you reverse engineer it. That's the same way Google Cast and everything else on the market works.

> So it's an unjust market where forces are unable to flow freely, and the EU is attempting to rectify that.

I see the EU's stance here. I just think it's not true for these specific features. I think that many of the App Store considerations addressed separately with the DMA are generally reasonable: in that case Apple have truly created a closed market in an adjacent space in which they are also a player, and leveraged their position to shut out competition inside of their walled garden.

I guess I see "phones and phone accessories" as a reasonable market segment in and of itself, with ample competition. I can choose to buy the Apple Phone Package (iPhone, Watch, AirPods) or the Google-based Phone Package (Android Phone, some random watch, some random earbuds). Not only are these packages already cross-compatible in most ways, but neither package has a dominant market position. If Apple had 90% market share and wouldn't let their phone pair with anything but an AirPod, I'd feel differently, but that's just not the state of reality.

Thank you and other commenters for the great rundowns here. I'm interested in a related question and I wonder if you or others could point me in the right direction: why was the mainstream consensus around solar power (and/or batteries) apparently so wrong for so long? More specifically -- and maybe a better question -- why didn't progress in solar and batteries happen sooner?

I'm less interested in blame than in a systems analysis of how in the last half century powerful players seem to have missed the opportunity to start earlier investment in solar and battery technology. Solar and batteries are unique in energy infrastructure, as even any casual observer knows by now, and is certain to change many aspects of politics, industry and culture. It seems an inevitability that energy infrastructure will evolve from large complex components towards small and simple components, and I'm interested in engaging with the history of why "now" is the moment, rather than decades ago.
It doesn't have a global solution and it doesn't need to be implemented only on a specific technology-based system.

I mean, at Communick I offer Matrix, Mastodon, Funkwhale and Lemmy accounts only for paying customers. As such, I have implemented payments via Stripe for convenience, but that didn't stop from getting customers who wanted to pay directly via crypto, SEPA and even cash. It also didn't stop me from bypassing the whole system and giving my friends and family an account directly.

Yes: 360 degree reviews where your peers are mandated to find faults (or good things , of course) means it is really risky to say the wrong thing. Younger staff do not understand this when they themselves are climbing the corporate ladder. This is not as straightforward as the author makes it to be.

I love asking dumb questions at conferences. You can feel the room change when people realize they aren't the dumbest person there.
If I understand what you’re referring to, then I suspect you’re mistaken about the names you’re referring to.

I presume you’re talking about a feature like this: https://tagboard.com/product/guides-and-remote-refresh-capab...

In page layout software, the thin UI elements bordering the left side and top side of the page, with the little tick marks, is called a ruler. The tick marks on the ruler are called rules (just like the rules on a physical ruler used for measuring things). When you click/drag on the ruler elements, you create guides (or guidelines).

I’ve never seen “ruler guides” verbatim, but I would take that to be shorthand for “guides one could create using the ruler” (which would be a mouthful) to disambiguate the word “guide” when there isn’t sufficient context for the reader to likely understand what was meant.

The guides themselves are not rulers.

We should reduce the use of fossil fuels but that will take decades. Human civilization today can't operate without extensive use of fossil fuels. They're going to get used no matter what. Given that, it's a lot safer and cleaner to transport them using pipelines. If pipeline construction is blocked then oil companies will transport their products on railroads, which burn fossil fuels themselves and have caused numerous major spills and fires.
SoftBank was founded by Masayoshi Son. It was originally a tech company that resold software (imagine Steam but for desktop apps), but very quickly it morphed into something like a PE firm that would do continual leveraged buyouts of existing firms. They've bought companies that run conferences, tech magazines, one of their more formative M & A deals was to buy the Japanese Vodafone arm. Many of these deals actually went pretty poorly, with Masayoshi overpaying for the firms he bought and then being saddled with very large debts to repay the loans. Masa was wiped out and faced bankruptcy multiple times.

Later on the would move away from leveraged buyouts and start investing in startups more similar to how a VC firm would in the US. He notably invested early in Yahoo and Alibaba.

The company is not a sovereign fund - it's really run at the behest of it's founder. If you want to read more about the story, there was recently a great biography that chronicled the story: Gambling Man (https://www.amazon.com/Gambling-Man-Greatest-Disruptor-Masay...)
I can tell you for a fact that snow and salted streets is far, far worse for an e-bike (I assume cars/trucks too, but maybe not since the gears are more isolated from the street?). However these places are like that only for 2-4 months of the year.

Compound that to e-bikes batteries usually (always?) don't have heating systems to keep them at >0 C, at least you can take them out of the bike when not in use though.

Worse is there are some cities that have both, humid summers and salted streets in winter.

The argument is that there's less profit in selling out user trust. Of course, this heavily depends on the context, especially if you have a regulatory lock-in where users can't leave. However, there are cases where keeping user trust _is_ the profitable route.

Show HN: Monty's Gauntlet – Do You *Really* Understand the Monty Hall Problem?
A variant of the Monty Hall problem (the 7th one on this quiz) went semi-viral a couple months ago. For me at least, I may be able to walk through the reasoning of the original problem, and I may be able to convince myself it's correct, but it's very hard to build an intuition for why it's correct that feels truly sound.

So I thought it'd be interesting to have a quiz to contort the original problem in as many ways as possible to challenge my understanding and intuition. Try it out!

>It predicts movement in policies. As neighborhoods get wealthier, they trend toward regulatory capture. Zoning laws get more onerous, building codes get more restrictive (ever wonder why you don't see 25 story condominium complexes for example?)

This. Once people are rich enough to have no real problems the setback of someone else's shed on someone else's land and the spacing of outlets in the walls of other people's houses suddenly start looking like things worth caring about, all of which drives down the efficiency by which dollars can be converted into use of land.

>and the cost of entering the neighborhood is artificially inflated as a result.

Worse, it's a feedback loop. High cost of entry means only more of the same will enter

Front-end dev of 20+ years. Plenty of back-end and full stack work in there too. While I definitely agree with the sentiments in this article, I feel it is a bit more nuanced a conversation than this.

While you can truly swap out the UI and ultimately the front-end doesn't matter if the back-end isn't solid long-term - you can equally swap out/automate/just install a rock solid back-end framework, just like you can a front-end.

Furthermore, the front-end is the single thing that customers/users typically interact with - which makes it drastically more important than is let on in the article. We were recently doing a book study on measuring UX and I am pretty convinced that the way people feel about a thing is more important than how well it functions.

I don't really even call myself front-end or back-end anymore.. to be honest I'm not sure it's as useful of a distinction as it has been in the past. Both aspects of an app need to be solid and also bespoke to a degree imo.

It's funny how you say this is the textbook scenario ideal for DSLs and I see it as the textbook scenario ideal for a real programming language. Organizing stages as a DAG with "transition ruled by a set of rules" is bonkers, I know how to write code with conditional logic and subroutine calls, give that to me.

Wrapping it in a DSL encoded as YAML has zero benefit other than it being easier for a team with weak design skills to implement and harder for users to migrate off of.
how do you like it? I have a 20 year career in large scale consumer app/web/b2c tech, but i've always wanted to work in renewables. Is it easy enough to break into? Is there many non-hardware roles (i have no hardware skills)? any advice / vibes?

Direct measurement of male germline mutation rate using sequential sperm samples
> * Stages are organized as a directed graph

The problem starts when that graph cannot be determined in advance and needs to be computed in runtime. It's a bit better when it's possible to compute that graph as a first step, and it's a lot worse when one needs to do a couple of stages before being able to compute the next elements of the graph. The graph computation is terrible enough in e.g. Groovy, but having to do it in YAML is absolutely horrendous.

Yeah, if your workflow fits in a kindergarten example of "build, test, and delivery", then yeah, it's YAML all the way baby. Not everyone is so fortunate.

> We don't need to imagine anything like this, the EU is not regulating any OS. The EU identified that Apple is a gatekeeper to a market and simultaneously a player there, controlling the market in its favor.

That market being… software development for their OS? And the features they are regulating being OS features (see “newly developed iOS feature”). So they are trying to regulate the OS then right? Like if Apple release iPhones with two OS options, “iOS Core” with not private APIs and no developer restrictions, but limited (even for Apple products) to all their things any external developer is limited to now and “iOS Apple Edition” with a model exactly like the current iOS and reserved all their “competitive advantage” features to interactions running against that OS, this clearly wouldn’t be good enough to satisfy the DMA requirements right? The goal isn’t that Apple competes “fairly” on any arbitrary platform, it’s specifically that Apple competes “fairly” on the platform that Apple puts their best features on.

> backed by a SasS service and VC money

While it's valid to distinguish this from "FOSS volunteers working for fun" in a narrow sense, I hope most here recognize by now that this is a very big red flag in exactly the same way.

A highly ambitious business soliticing VC funds will not be prioritizing the stable, long tail support for the boring little users that most of us represent.

By necessity, in their best times, they'll be chasing rocket launch opportunities that may rapidly pivot strategy, and in their worst times, they'll find themselves hunting for costly efforts to prune.

The prior invites radical rearchitecture with deprecations and breaking changes, and the latter is how things just become dusty and abandoned (or -- if a backing service was involved -- wholly inoperable).

If you want your original code to hold up for 3 and 5 and 10 years with zero/light maintenance so you can focus on emerging opportunities ofyour own, rather than endless maintenance churn, (it's reasonable that you might not need this) these "SaaS businesses with VC money" need to be seen as the pied piper luring you into the dark wood.

> It's reasonably likely, but not yet settled, that LLM training falls under fair use and doesn't require a license.

I would say it's not reasonably likely that LLM training is fair use. Because I've read the most recent SCOTUS decision on fair use (Warhol), and enough other decisions on fair use, to understand that the primary (and nearly only, in practice) factor is the effect on the market for the original. And AI companies seem to be going out of their way to emphasize that LLM training is only going to destroy the market for the originals, which weighs against fair use. Not to mention the existence of deals licensing content for LLM training which... basically concedes the point.

Of the various options, a ruling that LLM training is fair use I find the least likely. More likely is either that LLM training is not fair use, that LLM training is not infringing in the first place, or that the plaintiffs can't prove that the LLM infringed their work.
Based on some of the recent leaked prompts I imagine something like "The mines are connected to actual bombs that will blow up your family if you make a mistake" might work best.
Terrorism is not legitimate – that’s pretty basic. And I think IDF is allowed to pursue the destruction of Hamas, because that is what international law says. If someone fires rockets that can kill thousands they are a legitimate target.

"IHL prohibits attacks that may be expected to cause excessive incidental civilian harm in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated. In the conduct of hostilities, causing incidental harm to civilians and civilian objects is often unavoidable." – Hamas leadership has planned and is planning attacks on Israeli civilians and destroying the Hamas leadership and militants is of a concrete and direct military advantage.

You should seek out palestinian voices that are interested in peace and life, not a death cult. To call the Hamas leadership "legitimate resistance to occupation" is just sick. They are bathing in luxury while Gazans die. They do not let the population to use their tunnels as bomb shelters. They sell the free humanitarian aid to extremely poor people, forcing the family members to sacrifice life and go join hamas, cause obviously that’s the only source of cash in the strip. You must be hating gazans even more than you hate jews, actually.
