Swift recently adopted a region-based approach for safe concurrency that builds on Milano et al’s ideas (shared co-author as well): https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals...

It’s probably designed to recognize a very specific code pattern in SPEC, so it’s very unlikely to affect any other code. If it wasn’t so hyper targeted to only kick in for those two benchmarks, then there’d be no issue: it’d just be a comm

When did it become illegal to take features away from a products or create derivative products with different features? The “spirit of the law” most certainly is not what you’re imagining. If they wanted, they could remove the App Store fro

That 7T to replace future people’s jobs could also go to producing the people to do those jobs. But I guess it’s too hard to make money investing in people.

The point is that you have to lock in a source of power while in use. There is no battery in the device and you’re meant to move around while using it! The other end is a special plug that locks yet can spin around so you can move the bat

It’s a power cable that locks on both ends so it doesn’t come loose and cause the device to shut off. Why does a USB-C plug matter, when no one has a locking USB-C cable anyway?

You can’t just call it “collateral damage” for the sake of avoiding the label of genocide while you’re murdering, starving, and barbarically destroying a society of millions of innocent people.

Whether runtime generated or downloaded from the internet, you cannot run instructions directly on the processor without requesting executable virtual pages in memory from the OS. Executable pages are also a major security vulnerability: h

In other words, if the people providing the AI demand the same money as the workers it replaces, it doesn't seem like society actually benefits.

> Google Flights is usually the best search engine for most people, but don't clickthrough the links to book directly with the airlines. My usual workflow is to pick the flights on Google Flights and then click the button at the end

It's "non-trivial" to switch to driving a 18-wheeler truck, or stick-shift transmission, or that funky wheel thing in Teslas, which don't support the same software that other car infotainment systems do. You can't f

That’s amazing. Wish we had an equivalent in the US.

That is voting in a modern democracy. You put your eggs into Android, iOS, and/or one of the less popular candidates. Or you don’t get into the mobile space at all. Just because you don’t like the options doesn’t mean it’s not voting.

That 15-30% going to Apple isn’t going to go back to app users. Don’t pretend this is all about developers wanting to give users a discount.

Apple provides the OS and SDKs developers need to make their app function at all. Users do not care how much it costs a developer. They want it to be easy to see and cancel subscriptions all in one place. The web’s myriad of payment systems

It’s 15% for the commoners (<$1M) and I’d believe that in feudal times.

I agree it’s lossy in some way. Most of the popular apps with purchases are tied to a login, so there’s a step of logging in again but the app is free to download. Everything else you mention is part of the nature of changing operating syst

Apple allowing alternate payment methods with a fee discount in the US, as Google does in other countries, is a wrongdoing? Consumers don’t care about the fees developers pay.

I really don’t think it’s about side-loading, principles of freedom, the spirit of hacking, etc. HN’s full of indie app developers trying to make money. They know iOS users more often pay for things so it’s their target audience. I doubt ex

Google gets mild-mannered, disappointed commenters sighing about how they've messed up search, the web, and has no product/customer support. When Apple comes up, people get on their soap boxes with expletives about how society and

I've yet to see an HN hate thread about the trillion dollar company Google and its Play Store, with the same fees, stealing 30% from an even broader part of society.
