For business, I would also pay $20/seat in Apple Business's app store (no quantity discount needed), so it's part of our MDM software for Windows users unfamiliar with Mac. Note that subscriptions are not available to businesses using that channel, only flat purchases. All you have to do is have a flat purchase in the retail app store, and businesses can buy that in bulk to assign to users.

// Your other business licensing mechanisms, like, fixed number of users, different license per batch of users, etc., are too awkward for a real business with real employee turnover to keep track of, sorry.

The product itself is augmented human: specific concrete human design choices and changes, using the machine to toil. It's not "I will black magic this for you, blow you away on a one shot, and utterly fail to be useful in real life". It's more "you do the you part, machine types up the diffs."

Philosophically, I both believe in this approach, and, find it goes much further in the real world, as if mastery matters over median-ocrity.

The submission itself here is clearly not the product submission template explosion on reddit and here in the OpenClaw boom. The product concept and use feel human designed as well, although the site selling it is clearly template or design gen.

Found a bug while backpacking Sardinia? Edit the GitHub repo source on your phone, commit... hey, new build shipped.

See the App Store Connect mode: https://developer.apple.com/xcode-cloud/

On MacOS Terminal, edit the Homebrew profile and set Text and Bold Text to Apple color Orange, consider setting Selection to Apple color Green and Cursor to Block, Blink, and Apple color Yellow.

Outlook rules match on them too, for rules.

A different way to put it is GCP architecture has made different tradeoffs. For example favoring operability over confidentiality*, or scalability over integrity.

This makes sense from its mono-tenant engineering origins. Those were the right calls. Google exported SRE not SecEng.

Frankly, for most cloud customers, it's what they need.

* Take this break glass process. It arguably shouldn't be possible. If clients need their CSP to be "NSL proof", unable to leak corporate info responding to a national security letter (or any less obligatory rationale) without the corporation knowing, GCP is not their cloud. CSPs mostly consider it more difficult than it's worth to design a cloud offering that can be proven unable to provide a client's data. On the contrary, customers yell if CSP can't restore lost data, like Apple users yell if Apple can't restore iCloud. iCloud Advanced Security is what happens when you build clients the choice -- witness the warnings.

Support drives design choices, not security.

That's usually based on either (a) more perspective, or (b) lack of foundational depth.

Apple News remained fantastic until renewal of agreements when publishers demanded rights to insert additional ads.

Apple can't not have premium sources in there, so...

people with something to share, people with something to say, who share and say it because they want to

that's how pamphleteers worked, that's how the Internet worked

at scale, static (CMS-managed) information sites cost effectively nothing even for arbitrary amounts of traffic, and smoothed across a range of people sharing stuff, it approaches zero per person

publishing used to be free with your ISP, and edge CDN used to be (and still is) free to a point (an incredibly high volume point) as well

having people pay something nominal to say things instead of pay far too much in attention-distraction or money to consume things, would put this all back the right way round

In the comparator page of Commit Mono, Menlo tracks wider than Commit Mono et al., which I prefer for fastest reading.

(And CommitMono looks to be a deserifed and thinned Google Sans Code, which now I think about it, is odd to have serifs...)

Two year old typo:

In another bit of intriguing similarity, Common Crypto makes the same trio of corecryto calls as arc4random(3):

… browses memory and storage prices on NewEgg …

Hmm.

But the word digital is distracting us.

The word information is the important one. The question isn't where information goes. It's where information comes from.

Is new information post scarcity?

Can it ever be?
