It is typically possible to find a study for any claim, which is why I reach for meta-analyses. It's worth noting alcohol is very well-documented for its risk of increased aggression and violence - testosterone is not necessary.

Notably, murder and homicidal thoughts are missing from this list. Here's a meta-analysis on violence and testosterone: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31785281/

Maybe this matters at the bottom end of the market, but it's mainly the top players I see take this approach to notifications. DoorDash, Uber, and the social media platforms all have incentive to stay on the official app stores. I expe

Either I'm confused or maybe you didn't understand my point - why wouldn't the department want to execute a policy that benefits them greatly through increased revenue? If it's not profitable or desirable to do so, incre

Yes and no - if you lose your job at Apple, you can go down the street to Microsoft. If you lose your elected government job, you can't run again for years. Meaning, you have to switch from being a government employee back to being a c

This is a fair and rational take, but I think it's hard to drum up political appetite for increasing your own pay.

Yes, but I think maybe people in this thread are painting it unfairly? Another way to frame it is that they used industry best practices and their intuition to develop the game, then revisited their decisions to see if they still made sense

I just want to point out that even if you are correct, as a Zig outsider, none of this is obvious. The situation just looks bad.

Yes, violating historical precedent is part of the tradeoff - I see no contradiction. Are you able to identify the positive benefits offered by this approach? If not, we're not really "engineering" so to speak. Just picking

The primary challenge I see is that at least in the US, government positions are often elected and termed, meaning there is no guarantee your cash flow from your government job will continue long-term. This is why you must continue to opera

Any good alternatives?

It's not broken - it's a tradeoff. systemd-resolved is an optional component of systemd. It's not a part of the core. If you don't like the choices it took, you can use another resolver - there are plenty. I don't t

systemd has been the de facto standard for over a decade now and is very stable. I have found that even most people who complained about the initial transition are very welcoming of its benefits now.

I'm not sure this is exclusive to fundraising - the same is said in business about people who will actually purchase a product, versus those that say they will. Regardless, the comment felt unnecessary in context. And for what it'

Yeah, that's my feeling too - which is why I'm not even sure Rebble can legally distribute these to Pebble if they wanted.

by radlad 11mo ago
That's certainly the sticking point for Core. Also, Rebble is a non-profit, not a business. > But also, they must have some big balls to claim that all of the data they scraped from the Pebble App Store is THEIR data. I'd lik

by radlad 11mo ago
I don't think that's quite right - Rebble has updated a number of these apps to keep them supported. As sibling commenter posted, the original apps are available publicly.

My 2017 Ford Fusion has an auto-dimming driver side mirror. I hate driving a car at night without this.

by radlad 11mo ago
I think you're 100% right WRT the open-source code Rebble developed publicly. The big open question right now seems to be about the private app store data Rebble archived (and further developed) - which looks legally murky to me.

You are choosing a very literal interpretation, which is fine, if you think it is useful. To me, it looks disingenuous and irrelevant. The hosting and storage of that data would have been pointless without this additional development. And a
