Sadly, yes. There's no evidence that Apple has any interest in improving the App Store experience for devs or for customers.

In fact, I'm not convinced that Apple knows how to improve the experience. No one in Cupertino seems to be acting as dev or consumer champion, and upper management are apparently too removed to understand what's needed.

This is basically an updated and fabulously expensive version of Brion Gysin's Dream Machine [1] Gysin was an associate of William S. Burroughs and developed it in search of transcendental experiences.

The original dream machine was a cardboard tube sitting on a record player with a light bulb hung inside.

Personally I think it triggers something like micro-seizures where random parts of the brain are getting triggered so you're experiencing a synesthetic rush of multiple sense-memories.

Count me in the naysayer group. I don't like HTTP/2.

But comparing it with systemd is completely unreasonable. When a huge group of people complained about HTTP/2, it become an optional standard, and HTTP/1.1 is officially the only web standard capable of satisfying a big number of use-cases. No choice is being taken away, it's just a bad standard that is being pushed at server maintainers.

I think much of the hatred towards PHP fundamentally comes down to the fact that it broke down a lot of barriers to entry in the web development world which allowed for anyone with a basic text editor to patch together CRUD apps. This led to an army of "w3cschools.com developers" referring to themselves as software engineers, which offended many in enterprise Java land.

Apple has made many changes to iTunes Connect already.

Xcode, OS X, iOS, and iTunes have been getting regular updates for years now.

Apple took the time to design a whole new language for app development, a whole new framework for game development, and another new framework for low-level graphics.

So any suggestion that the company doesn't have the time or resources to do a better job on the frontend doesn't square with reality.

Something I have never understood. Why do employees have to give two weeks notice to an employer when the employer could fir you today with no notice at all? I understand that keeping you around for two weeks could be bad for them, but why isn't it bad when your quitting as well? I guess this could all be solved by forcing severance packages by law for a minimum of two weeks or something like that.

We've had good success encouraging daily merges of master into feature branches, and then using `git merge --squash` to avoid hopeless polluting of your history graph.

Git merge squash essentially takes a diff of your feature branch and master and applies the diff as a single commit. See http://stackoverflow.com/a/25387972/1935918

You lose the history of the feature branch, but we don't want that history anyway, since once tests are passing and the branch has been reviewed, we treat it as an atomic unit. That is, we might revert the whole commit, but we're not interested in reverting part of the commit.

The idea that landless workers would fall under the same category comes from Lenin.

It was explicitly an attempt to "work around" the many parts of Marx' theories that Lenins opposition in the RSDLP used against his own insistence that it would be possible to carry out a socialist revolution in Russia.

When Lenins theory proved conclusively false (the Bolsheviks only managed to get support in the big cities in the elections in 1917, hence their coup d'etat), the Bolsheviks tried a wide range of approaches to demonise and marginalize farmers, and eventually tried to force them into collectives.

I see a two-week notice as a reverse-layoff situation. In many jobs, you're hired with the ability to leave whenever you want, which becomes more like a reverse-firing.

"Dictatorship" in Marxism only works if you use it to mean roughly "power" or "rule".

Consider that Marx referred to capitalist democracies as the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie: The bourgeois/capitalist class maintains the balance of power.

It's also worth pointing out that Marx did not describe the dictatorship of the proletariat as something desirable, but as a necessary temporary state. At the same time he pointed out that there's a fundamental difference: Any capitalist can become a proletarian simply by giving up his wealth.
Not sure about the history behind the sounds in the remake, but I don’t think there was anything nefarious about the coincidence. Using stock audio was and still is very common.

How to Get the Best Sound Quality for Your Corporate Video
To be a bit pedantic, you don't actually resolve the ip address itself.

A reverse dns lookup actually just does a lookup of {the ip address with octets reversed}.in-addr.arpa:

> host 216.58.208.238
238.208.58.216.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer par10s22-in-f14.1e100.net.

You can actually look that up directly too:

> dig +short ptr 238.208.58.216.in-addr.arpa
par10s22-in-f14.1e100.net.

When an isp gets a ip allocation, they specify the nameservers to use, and are responsible for that "subdomain" of the in-addr.arpa domain. If you trace the full resolve, it first goes to the root .in-addr.arpa servers, then arin.net nameserver, then finally you end up at:

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
208.58.216.in-addr.arpa. 86400	IN	NS	ns3.google.com.

which will return the actual ptr record.

It doesn't surprise me that people are starting to realise this project was a disaster. My own personal experience is that a lot of useful information that used to exist on various government websites is just gone. You can look through really old HN threads about startups/self employment/contracts/eulas in the uk and often people have posted links to useful information on various government websites, and virtually all of those links are dead now.

Add to that the fact that you can't visit any uk government site now without being hit by google analytics tracking (no I do not want google tracking on my tax returns form!).

For the people who actually read the reports and statements departments put out (e.g. charities, affected businesses, campaigners, pressure groups) it seems to be almost universally hated. Lots of complaints about older reports and press releases being just about impossible to find and a huge reduction in transparency. For example: http://markavery.info/2014/10/21/awful-gov/

>I want to make a serious point here. This one single government website is less informative and less easy to use than its multiple predecessors. If you were the least bit suspicious of this government then you might think it had been done on purpose to obscure government actions and policies from the taxpayers who pay for it and the voters who might well choose another bunch of politicians in future.

>This government has done away with watchdogs and independent commissions who had the time and wit to question what government was doing on the environment and now it has obscured its own actions on its own website.

Also of note, supposedly "arms length" non-departmental government bodies like Natural England have also been subsumed by gov.uk, without anybody seeming to notice.
> perhaps the cost of using Haskell, of satisfying the compiler, of fixing type errors that would not be (runtime) errors in a dynamically-typed language, perhaps that cost outweighs any benefit that type-checking may provide.

That's completely irrelevant to the current discussion. We are not discussing convenience; we're discussing safety. Are you trying to de-rail the debate? :)

By the way, because you're intent on "teaching" me what deduction and induction mean: not that it has anything to do with the argument at hand, but deductive reasoning (when you can apply it) trumps inductive.

> > Yes, fewer failure modes -> increased probability of correctness.

> That's an interesting hypothesis.

That's... uh... that's not an hypothesis. Something that can fail in fewer ways is safer than something that can fail in more varied ways, all else being equal. There is no need for inductive reasoning here.

> BTW, have you not heard "no true scotsman" before?

I have, and I have also noticed you were trying to sarcastically invoke this fallacy all along. Unfortunately, it seems you've misunderstood it: No True Scotman applies when you make an assertion, then you're presented with a contradiction, and in order to counter it you adopt an ad hoc assertion which serves as an exception. The fallacy doesn't apply when the assertion is not ad hoc, but in fact that which defines the original assertion. Haskell programmers program using Maybe, that's not a "No True Scotman" fallacy. For example, if I said "Haskell programmers do X", and you say "that's not true for Haskell programmers using Ruby!" and I counter "I was talking about Haskell programmers using Haskell", that's not a case of No True Scotman. It's the same for Haskell programmers using the Maybe monad.

Let me explain the kind of flawed reasoning you've been using so far. Say you read something about handguns with safeties being safer than handguns without safeties. You start "blah blah inductive reasoning no true scotman yadda yadda". When someone counters, "well, are you saying handguns with safeties designed to make them safer are not actually safer than handguns without safeties?" your reply seems to be "well, if you give the handgun with safety to a kid, load the gun, switch the safety off, and tell the kid to pull the trigger, then it's not safer!".

Do you see the ridiculousness of your position? Any Turing complete language can be used improperly and cause harm. But some languages are safer than others by design. Not better, merely safer. For example, Haskell is safer than Ruby :)

And it's kind of difficult as I've sent all the original documentation with the first application so I don't have all the details at hand.

It's not necessary to publish his name and you have reason to believe he doesn't want his name publicized like this so the only reason I can see for publishing his name constantly is a weird sort of professional-caste vendetta against him by newspapers, since his beef was also with them.

CDNs aren't limited to just static content, it's quite common for large dynamic sites to deliver their base pages though CDNs.

They can use features like ESI to assemble the final page on the edge from static and dynamic parts, or they can just act as a proxy to the origin with the dynamic page generated there.

Even when the CDN is just acting as a proxy back to the origin there can be performance advantages e.g. lower latency TCP and TLS negotiation between edge to client, and permanent connection between edge and origin i.e. single TCP negotiation for all clients, larger congestion windows leading to higher throughput.

In short CDNs aren't just for static content!
