In no possible future would we see an immediate change from human drivers to 100% self-driving, so self-driving ought to co-exist with human drivers, both the better than average, and the drunk ones. I’m absolutely not convinced that an AI

The one order of magnitude difference is on some todo app benchmark with mass-updates and the like, it is not really representative of most real world applications, and you might as well just do an escape hatch in plain js for certain parts

If you don’t know SQL, you shouldn’t touch ORM either, no one ever said that you can. Also, it’s pretty reductionist to say that it is only good for simple systems, when in fact, huge services are running it at almost all companies.

ORMs never block you from issuing raw SQL queries. But mapping the results to entities inside your programming language’s abstraction is a repetitive task, ready to be abstracted away. The reverse direction is the same way. I feel most of t

I generally agree with you, but I don’t think c) is true. It’s trivial, and most people won’t go the extra mile to make it “native”, but you can properly manage history from JS, can also add accessibility attributes to make it focusable,

Nonprofits are explicitly exempted from the fees. An fdroid like app store seems quite possible.
667.
by kaba0 3y ago
That’s more like playing it safe until there is a definite ruling.
668.
by kaba0 3y ago
Non-profits are exempted, so an fdroid alternative becomes possible, which is the only alt store I (and probably anyone) care about. This is a win.

In general, getting into a 3rd party store is not a good thing, and it doesn’t benefit end-users. I only ever want to see 2 app stores on my phone, the AppStore, and an FDroid alternative full of free, open-source apps. Anything else is g

You only need a single nonprofit that creates an F-Droid alternative, and then it can distribute other’s open-source projects freely

I’m fairly sure Apple did consult a bunch of lawyers, and actually talked through the eu about it.
672.
by kaba0 3y ago
A single nonprofit can create an alternative app store, and distribute any open-source app from within - this is pretty much how f-droid works on android. I just don’t see how is it a negative change — eu citizens get more choices, while th

An App is not just code, it is an entity within the OS with permission system, metadata etc all attached to it. A JIT compiler is not above the App’s sandbox permissions.

Ridiculous fee for for-profit companies that want to sell their software for free, aka where you are the product? Sorry, I won’t be crying that no MetaStore will be financially possible. But an FDroid alternative can work, and that’s the on

> The goal from the EU was clearly to make iOS have an android level of openness And if I’m reading it right, both apple and the eu (and its citizens) can share a cake happily - a nonprofit org can create an app store without any fees (f

I mean, they are a company, what did you expect? Nonprofits are exempted from the fees, so an open-source app store could be possible. Win-win for everyone (except other companies, but isn’t that the point of capitalism?)

by kaba0 3y ago
You just need a non-profit behind (or a government) and it should work just fine, they are exempted from the fees. The ruling is mostly there to prevent google and meta from creating alt stores (which is a benefit to us).
678.
by kaba0 3y ago
Nonprofits, governments etc don’t have to pay a fee, so in effect it means we will have the AppStore, and a few free, open-source alternatives. That is absolutely a win to the common people. And it’s not like other companies taken a hit - t

Every permission is default off, and ios is the safest computing platform for users (next to android), while windows has a much worse track record.

by kaba0 3y ago
You can. But I don’t agree that it should be installable from an app store.

You don’t have to pay $100, but then your will have to re-sign it every seven or so days.

You can actually enable JIT for a specific app for yourself. Nintendo emulators actually can make use of that, for several years now. It’s just a niche, so no one bothered porting a whole ass browser with its JIT compiler and GC and whatnot

The reviewing process done by apple still applies to them.

by kaba0 3y ago
And? Other’s shitty shady app store would never have been a good thing - now it is just gonna be financially disincentivized.

by kaba0 3y ago
It’s up from $100 USD, which is the yearly fee of a developer account. And you can choose the now-existing model, which obviously makes sense for a free app, so no, it stays 100.

How is it any different than an EU company complying with Russian/US/whatever laws? International laws have always been crazy expensive, if anything, being able to (mostly) target quite a big market by only making it EU-aware is m

by kaba0 3y ago
Well, that and meta is the very reason behind these changes.

Then they can distribute on the AppStore for 100 bucks per year.

2 options is no choice. An oligopoly is not necessarily better than a monopoly.

“Forced into”, as if apple hasn’t been producing literally every other items besides iphones with usb-c, based on their own choices. Of course if there were a law like that, they will rather point their fingers at the EU, over their users b
