It would be more akin to Apple only letting you use the fuel that they sell for the cars they sell, just like Tesla did with their proprietary charging connector (before being forced, at least in the EU, to use a standard connector).

Out of curiosity, internally does a language like J `map` over arrays even though the array is a primitive? Meaning, is `map` essentially a “primitive function”?

It's a false dichotomy; the correct comparison is: If a developer doesn't like Apple's terms, there are other phone platforms.

To add to this, as someone who has used the app before I'd be genuinely surprised if the experience they are given was in fact substantially different enough to warrant some people AU$7 while charging others over AU$30 (!!). The paid v

On call doesn’t mean always available for anything, though. It should mean if something truly breaks you’re there to help fix it. If the former is the case, I’d definitely set some boundaries to reduce that over time.

This argument only works if there is sufficient competition. I would say that Apple has enough competition to agree with the argument that "you don't have to buy an iPhone".

Including yourself, it seems, flippantly denouncing a potential vaccine. While I would not trust someone posting here on HN about medical advice, I would trust doctors from around the world who have stated that, for example, hydroxychloroqu

I would argue that using the right words is important here. “On call” typically refers to a specific thing, where if something breaks that person on call is, well, called (or paged, etc.) to fix it when it happens, even at 2am. This is how

I think it’s in part due to the pressure thresholds to put cables in, as too little pressure means the cable isn’t connected but too much could damage either the cable or thing it’s attaching to.

Say what you will about the fact that these exist in the language, I found this post interesting because although realistically and thankfully I never have to deal with these quirks day-to-day, it brought me more insight to the weird nature

You can't say that and use the quote in the original comment. The quote references a right, which comes from laws and the Constitution, yet you mention a cultural value instead. Which are you talking about here, the right of free speec

If you aren't willing to "pay the price" now, then you will pay the price in other ways later. Your actions are not isolated and affect others, and not doing your part to prevent this from getting worse is an extremely selfis

Define normal in this context. The effects of the 1918 flu pandemic really were region dependent, because some regions were more strict than others (in terms of social distancing, curfews, etc.) and those regions that were more relaxed were

But what is the price ceiling in this case? I fail to understand this argument, as this doesn't regulate the price of manufacturing a good but rather then price of its sale. If manufacturers aren't the ones setting the high prices

No, it ensures that companies (and individuals) won't increase the price unnecessarily just to profit additionally from something like a pandemic.
