Well, there's no cheap competitors with (automatic) flow profiles, but there are competitors with automatic flow profiles. ACS Vesuvius, Rocket R nine one (although IIRC this one is actually pressure profiling, not flow profiling), Synesso es.1, Sanremo You to mention some.

If you're looking at manual flow control, basically any E61 group machine can be outfitted with a needle valve for flow control, and a bunch of machines come with one installed from the factory, like the Lelit Bianca. There's also machines like the Slayer 1 group and La Marzocco GS/3 MP.

Gagguino is very cool, and if you're just pulling espressos and not too many back to back, it should be plenty of machine. If you're doing more than a couple of milk drinks, or pull lots of shots back to back, or want to connect it to plumbing, it's not as great of a machine. The fact that you started out with a small single boiler with a vibration pump starts to show.

That really is the $3,500 question. Can I see myself preferring to work streaming my Mac's screen to a Vision Pro for my IDE, having and things like Slack and e-mail off to the side running on the headset? I don't know, but if I can, this seems worth it to me.

IMHO this really is what's gonna make or break this product. Will the screens have good enough fidelity and not strain my eyes in such a way that I will want to wear the headset for my entire work day.

This is fun, however, when picking "easy" debates (I argued that it's wrong to kill humans for fun), it was very difficult to get the AI to actually debate me. It went out of it's way to make sure to tell me that it agreed with me, even when it was supposed to be a devil's advocate.

I think this clip might have given me brain damage.

No, but you need to have a cash register approved by the tax authority. The cash register used by Coop the part of the system that was attacked. Coop could switch to a different approved cash register system, but that's presumably a fairly large project.

Developing in a cloud VM is painful in other regards, specifically with regards to IDEs. Basically your options become to use a local IDE, with slow access to your files (not fun when PHPStorm needs to re-index your vendor directory), or to use a cloud IDE (none of which I know of are particularly good for PHP, nor as snappy as running your IDE locally).

Of course, you can just use a text editor instead of an IDE, but once you get used to being able to jump to definitions, get method signature autocompletion, refactoring, syntax checks etc, it's kind of hard to go back to just a text editor.

And also not Ecco the Dolphin (the game).

Not if you need to support HTTP Digest authentication.

Global brand definitely provides value. Whenever I'm traveling (or rather, back when travel was possible) I always use Uber because I know that I can pay buy credit card (rather than cash) and if the driver takes a huge detour or some other common taxi scam, I can just contact Uber's customer service, and they'll refund me.

That's a consequence of the engineer implementing the same idea, not of publishing it to Marketplace.

That's quite a comparison for someone working at Facebook naming a small open source project the same generic name and then publishing it to Github Marketplace for free without mentioning Facebook at all, but I'll play along:

Yes, they would be implicated to a degree, but it would be a stretch to say that Facebook robbed something, rather than saying that a few Facebook engineers robbed something. Also, in what sense did Facebook "[get] all the goodies from the robbery"? The action on Marketplace doesn't mention Facebook at all, so other than using the action (which doesn't require anyone to publish it to Marketplace), which goodies exactly did Facebook get?

Surely the complaint isn't that facebook/react-native switched out which action they're using though, but that the author of hramos/label-actions (presumably hramos) published his action to the marketplace, specifically under the name label-actions?

It seems to me that the connection to facebook/react-native is tenous at best. Even the connection to Facebook at all seems pretty weak; yes the engineer works at Facebook, but if this had been an official Facebook OSS project that they wanted to publish themselves, surely they would have done so under the facebook org?

It looks to me like this is just something an engineer at Facebook did as a side project.

Is this really Facebook taking that name, or just an engineer working at Facebook who did an open source project in his free time? The hramos/label-actions repo doesn't seem to mention Facebook at all?

It's kind of a weird move to open the issue at facebook/react-native rather than hramos/label-actions.

Apart from breach of contract (which is already mentioned), there’s also the practical issue of acquiring a license. Apple no longer sells licenses for macOS separately. This means that getting ahold of a macOS license without resorting to copyright infringement will be difficult.

You can still make a device with easily replaceable batteries water resistant (or even water proof), but it's easier (read: less bulky) to do it with a non-replaceable battery.

Compactness is definitely a major tradeoff though.

There is, but as far as I know, it doesn't cover this. Apple would probably argue that it's instead covered by the App Store Review Guidelines, but I'm not really inclined to agree. This is the kind of thing that probably should be explicit rather than a read-between-the-lines sort of thing. I wouldn't find such a rule (if it was explicit) to be an egregious overreach though.

I found https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24302003 informative on the topic.

I don't think that e.g. confidentiality clause in the rental agreement preventing the disclosure of the rent is unreasonable. It's not exactly the same thing, but I think it's fairly similar.

Also, I find the idea that a blog post is an easy fix for the public not understanding what the developers are paying for with Apple's 30% cut to be a huge simplification. At the very least a major ad campaign would probably be necessary, and even that's probably only gonna reach a subset of their users.

I don't think so. It's more akin to not posting a sign saying "our landlord charges us $5,000/month in rent" in a brick-and-mortar shop.

At the end of the day there are costs associated with doing business online. If Facebook was able to have their own payment processing pipeline, and still charged no cut, that's them processing payments at a loss, and subsidizing it with other income streams.

The Apple cut doesn't just cover payment processing though, (in Apple's opinion at least) it also covers the costs of maintaining the app store, reviewing apps, developer tooling etc.

There's really two separate questions here, is 30% as a cut for the entire App Store ecosystem reasonable, and is it reasonable to charge a cut paying for the entire ecosystem to someone who really is only "getting" the payment processing parts of it.

In a sense, when Facebook is providing this kind of platform, they're essentially competing with the App Store. Instead of whomever is running "Jasper's Cooking Class" making a cooking class streaming app and posting it to the App Store platform, they're able to use the Facebook platform to provide the same service. Because this becomes sort of a platform-in-a-platform, it starts getting expensive pretty quickly, because you have to pay for both.

Of course, the people behind "Jasper's Cooking Class" (presumably Jasper himself) are probably not in a position to make an app and posting it to the App Store, so Facebook providing a lower barrier to entry is probably a good thing for the market as a whole, but they're not doing it out of the good of their hearts, it's still a very deliberate business decision, aimed at keeping people on Facebook, where the users are monetized in other ways.

As a counterpoint, those 30% account for more than just processing fees. Why should the average consumer be tasked with deciding whether a given cut is reasonable without knowing what that cut actually goes to?

IIRC Apple has the ability to push a blacklist of apps that has slipped through the review, preventing them from running, not just from being installed. To my understanding, they've only ever used it for actual malware though, not for apps that they've pulled from the App Store due to "regular" breaches of the rules.

Finally! A way for a 68k Mac to use more than 1 GB of memory! Jokes aside, this is a neat tech demo :)

There is no one "right size for espresso". Even with a pressurized filter basket, you can only do so much to achieve proper extraction (i.e. getting the right amount of water through the puck in the right amount of time) without controlling the grind size.

What makes an espresso cup different from the next one is not only the beans and how much water you put through it, but also what is extracted from the beans. Even a regular Joe can tell the difference between a under-extracted sour shot and something closer to proper extraction.

From what little I've been able to gather, anything using Cloudflare's DNSes are down.

”and also watch its Swedish TV/film adaptions, if there are any”

There’s about 50 or so of them, of varying quality. Most (if not all) of them feature length.

Because the idea is that when you test positive, you upload DTKs for all days you could have been contagious, so that includes historical keys.

That probably depends on the kind of job you have. If you're a developer, sure, you can probably accept a package at the office, but if you're working as a cashier in a supermarket, it's doubtful your employer would allow you to accept packages while working.

Or start paying for them.
