I wish the FTC hadn't exempted restaurants from junk free transparency requirements.

Restaurant industry celebrates "win" on exemption from junk fee disclosure:

But delivery fee transparency may be coming:

The following should really apply (of course those "shipping charges" can be another scam, see eBay etc.):

> Businesses may only exclude three categories of charges from the total price: government charges, shipping charges, and fees or charges for optional ancillary goods or services that people choose to add to the transaction.

But (some) people still criticize it because it's not Linux or FreeBSD (though it is closer to the latter than the former).

Steve Jobs was brilliant and complicated with many down sides, but he also seemed to have good taste and to care about user experience as well as good design, and his era at Apple produced exceptional products that redefined their categories: Mac, iMac, iPod, iPhone, iPad, etc. Even Jobs' failures were interesting: NeXT, Mac G4 Cube, iPod Hi-Fi. Well, except for the hockey puck mouse which seems like an obviously bad idea.

I may be wrong about this, but I don't think Apple bans you from applying to multiple positions within the same year the way some companies do.

There also seems to be a decent pipeline for new graduates (though I think highlighting relevant academic, research, and open source projects can still help.) Internships can also be a path if you are currently in school.

I don't know if Apple recruits on linkedin, but that might also be an option.

Of course connecting right here on HN seems like a great idea as well.

Of course in an alternate universe where macOS (and iOS etc.) was based on Multics rather than Unix, it would have had essentially zero buffer overflows - which are hard to create in PL/I but hard to avoid in C. Even Apple's Pascal compilers from the 1980s had range checking...

But legacy C code can/should absolutely use things like clang's -fbounds-safety (has been in clang on macOS for years) etc. Fil-C is another option.

Exactly this. Mozilla/Firefox lost their way when they stopped listening to the community.

Which is not to say you shouldn't try to build new cool things that the community hasn't thought of yet - but you should listen to them when they tell you it is terrible garbage that they do not want and there is no way to opt out.

However IEEE Spectrum is neither a journal nor a conference - it's the flagship magazine of the IEEE.

My impression of IEEE Spectrum (as well as CACM) is that they still feature good technical papers and content written by domain experts, but they also feature junk/filler "articles" and blog posts written by serial contributors who seem to optimize article quantity over quality. Often the title or topic is the only good part.

this does not seem to be an argument for requiring junior employees to focus on using AI tools

*rounded up

so better than expected then

Who could object to that.

This includes college football and basketball, which are part of the career path for those sports.

Women's soccer is relatively popular, however.

How about python3:

   >>> input() + input()
   2
   2
   '22'

    >>> .2 + .2 + .2 == .6
    False
