Here is an explanation from a 3rd party reddit app developer:

tl;dr: Since Apple doesn't give a way to open URLs in 3rd party apps, he inspects the paste buffer for reddit URLs, but he aptly points out that he could read anything in the paste buffer if he wanted to:

"Hey! I make Apollo for Reddit and a few people asked me about this and if Apollo does anything with the clipboard so I wanted to answer.

Since iOS doesn't have a mechanism to open URLs in a specific third party app Apollo has a feature where if you open the app with a Reddit URL on your clipboard it'll offer to open that URL in Apollo, I think I copied this from Instapaper awhile ago.
This does cause a potentially creepy looking notification with Apollo sometimes, but just wanted to explain why/what it's doing. It's literally just like "Hey iOS, is there a URL on the clipboard? Oh there is, is it a Reddit one? Okay cool let me ask them if they want to open it." Obviously at no point does anything else happen like it leaving the device or anything. It'll show this banner even if there's not a Reddit URL because it needs to check the URL to see if it's a Reddit URL in the first place. Schrodinger's Reddit URL.

But the clipboard API (prior to iOS 14) was very open, as someone else said, what if medical records were on your clipboard as text? Well in Apollo's case, that doesn't qualify it as a URL, so it wouldn't even "look". (And even for URLs, it doesn't store a list of them even on the device, it just opens it if you ask to, and then saves the most recent URL so it won't keep repeatedly prompting you if you say no.)

But that doesn't mean other apps couldn't be! They could be doing some Creepy Shit™ so I think this API change is good. It means I'll have to be more clear with Apollo doing this, and I've already had a few Apple engineers reach out with ways, but I think it's a very good change for user security."

Rhetorical question I know..., but I cannot resist to add 2 observations I made in the past

- The Finnish army did not have doors at their toilets before they got a female defense minister who obviously shocked by that practice ordered that doors need to be installed.

- In 2008 I visited New York City while suffering from stomach problems (We had bought the tickets months before.) While strolling around near Washington square I urgently needed to visit a toilet. I run to Washington Square and into the public restrooms there, to make the shocking discovery that there were no toilet cabins. It was just a big room with several toilet bowls and of course I was not alone. But there was no choice: It's the pants or the (semi-) public toilet bowl. (It remained unclear whether the setup was a result of vandalism or a prevention of vandalism or what)

I'm neither Finnish nor American and I found both learnings pretty shocking. But obviously it's just a cultural thing what is shocking and what not.

That said I am not happy that spying on users, whether its Android apps or Microsoft telemetry is seen as culturally acceptable instead of shocking by a majority of the public today.
my guess is that it's checking to see if it can clear the clipboard or if you copied something else
_cultural_ genocide which is a very different thing from genocide
With YouTube Music, Google is holding my speakers for ransom
This is key. I just hope this never changes and we never end up in a situation where the fingerprint is all that is used.

Because for most non technical user, my bank app asking my fingerprint to unlock the app is exactly that. They don't really get the difference.
>Given a complex customer problem, a female analyst/programmer will often handle the problem better than would her male colleagues with equivalent experience and ability. Not because businessmen are more lenient or show favoritism toward the female of the species, but because the female is often more sensitive to the nuances of a problem and to the complex interpersonal relations that may be part of the problem. In a very real sense, every computer problem with a customer is also a customer relations problem, and this is where feminine tact, insight, and intuition, combining with solid programming and analytical ability, can really pay off for the girl programmer.

The book is "brilliant" because of quips like the aforementioned.

Now, lets flip the genders and see who gets to keep their head.
I'm not even sure how something like T2 could be done with an open platform
Facebook is a social media network, not a science journal. Can people not share things that are unscientific now? Goodness, it's as if we've gone backwards in time and sharing anything that isn't accepted by the scientific majority is heretical and ought to be censored ASAP. What will we have next, public burnings of Facebook profiles that have had too many 'misinformation' labels assigned to it?

Facebook chose to step into the role of being an information arbiter instead of remaining neutral like it should. Facebook should be a facilitator not a gatekeeper. Imagine if during a public debate the moderator interrupted one side constantly with clarifications or "misinformation" corrections - it would be a boring debate, unfair to one side, and the moderator would be doing the job of the opponent. I don't want my information to be moderated. And since social networks should be about people sharing with other people, I don't want Facebook getting in between that.
Generally in Modern Perl-style programming, strict and warnings are enabled, so implicit type conversion is not used as much these days. Warnings or errors are emitted.

I've found this greatly increases reliability.

An example is that I enabled those on the W3C checkers and a serious latent bug was discovered and fixed, even on code I wasn't familiar with.
> In my opinion as well, the future of software development is somewhere in the middle of this spectrum

Unfortunately this is complexity in and of itself. I don't disagree that different cases require different tools, however the split should be strongly weighted in one direction. Mostly IPC over pipes with a few exceptions, mostly REST and JSON with a few exceptions, mostly language X with a few exceptions. Everyone will have their own preferences, but I think it's important to pick a side (or at least mostly pick a side) or else you accept chaos
Do these other apps do it for every keystroke? Do TikTok's competitors, other popular social media apps, do this?
Yes - you have to OWN the dorkiness!
yes, neither of those things have been issues in ages.
> Would Figma's success have been the same if they had just foregone the hassle of building in WASM and went pure native desktop?

I think Figma’s success can be at least partially attributed to being a web app with good performance. Sharing designs with a URL is a lot quicker than sharing files and importing them into a native desktop app which all users would first need to install. Figma made collaborating on design easier and more accessible than ever.
So who would you trust more? Red Hat? Apple? Mozilla? Independent developers? DuckDuckGo? Your government? Yourself?

All of them will betray your trust, either through maliciousness or incompetence. All major Linux distributions ship Firefox as the preferred default browser, which would be considered spyware if it were held to the same standards that Microsoft is held to. And even if they didn't, odds are you'll screw something up and get hacked (nobody, not even DJB, is perfect).

If you really want privacy, don't use a computer.
Yes, thank you. The fact that I haven't noticed it means that moderators team is doing a great job!
Is Apple planning to really go in on the enterprise usage? This aquisition, locking down access behind T2, notary notifications of everything in Catalina. I've not seen that direction in marketing yet, not it's like they started putting the foundations in place.
WebAuthn API is supported in WebKit starting from Safari 13 and iOS 13. The MDN chart needs to be properly updated.
There's a major caveat: if you know the hardware won't change and you control the software stack throughout.

Path Building vs. Path Verifying: Implementation Showdown

Learn Elasticsearch with Hollywood Movies
That does sound very ambitious for now! I discussed below that we're focused on the OLAP use case (manage actual data, not DDL around it), so triggers, indexes and functions that you create won't be stored in the Splitgraph image you'll make (a Splitgraph image is not a full database dump).

For things like schema migrations, PostgreSQL itself has transactional DDL: column deletions/additions can be wrapped in a transaction, so you can ROLLBACK if your migration fails. This might be more appropriate for your use case?

(Note that you can still add DDL commands to a Splitgraph table after you check it out, since at that point it's just a Postgres table. In theory it would be possible to track DDL changes with some other mechanism, and apply them after loading a version of data)
So you don't like it when people accuse you unjustly either. I can understand that.
Fuck the government intervention on consenting adults practicing voluntary transactions.
I don't think the Brazilian government has this responsibility as it is the most at fault for Brazil's lacking free market.

Maybe when it becomes a champion on that, removing barriers of entry, protectionism, subsidies and it's public companies monopolies, then it can be a fair judge on this issue.
The Eviction Tracking System: Monitor the number of U.S. eviction cases
Yes, it's military-grade bad.
Democrats paid foreign spies to generate fake evidence, then used that fake evidence to start an investigation into political rivals during an election year which included but was not limited to wiretapping top level campaign officials. The Ukraine investigation was in direct response to the Russia investigation, they are tightly coupled. They clearly do not have a legitimate problem with his behavior, since they had done the same thing themselves. Additionally, it's not clear they believed the claims in the articles of impeachment any more than the claims made during the Russia investigation. This is not an endorsement of Trump or anything he has ever done.
I hate how our options are "Choose apple and blindly trust them" or "Chose android an see in the open that your data is being abused"
Suppose I buy an iPhone from Apple, and load up a work profile on it. I need to trust that Apple doesn’t give my personal data to the employer profile, and my employer doesn’t have a zero-day to circumvent those controls. I also need to trust that the phone company (or my VPN) provider doesn’t give my browsing history to my employer. I’m pretty comfortable with all of those assumptions.

Now instead suppose my employer gives me an iPhone with a cell plan they are paying for. Now there are more questions - is this a vanilla iPhone or is some kind of tracking software installed on it? Perhaps the phone company will freely give up my browsing history to my employer? I’m a lot less comfortable with this. It feels like my employer has legal authority and technical capability to see a lot of what I’m doing on the phone.

Edit:

> Also don't do activities on them that are... criminal.

I’d not worried that employer would get me in trouble with the government for criminal activity. My behavior is a little more constrained by worries that somebody at company could be analyzing my browsing history for violations of company policy, which in a worst-case scenario could get me terminated or cause me to face civil litigation, especially if I were to do a startup.
Markdown was made to support inline HTML and most parsers/compilers will support it by default (including Github).

It's odd that every other website I've ever tried works with Cloudflare, but not archive.is. Does anyone have an idea what's so special about them?
That’s very encouraging, thank you!
> malware (and/or Windows)

That would be better phrased as "malware (Windows or otherwise)"; your phrasing makes it sound like you don't know that Windows itself is malware.

But yes, network security that depends on the good behaviour of everything on the network... isn't.
I'm disappointed that so many people think "hey they could just be doing this for innocuous reasons" instead of "oh maybe nobody should be doing this even if it's the absolutely most straightforward way to do it."

Even if you're only looking for a shipping tracking number and then only so that you can provide useful auto-populate, will you lose out by only checking the clipboard when the user hits your text input field? Is it that much to ask that you find the least offensive way to serve your user?

On the other hand, what will you lose when the news gets out that you've created a keylogger? What about when someone else at your company pushes you to monitor for something else for strategic advantages? Or what about when another developer doesn't understand the implications and now your app is responsible for revealing passwords or other sensitive information? Are all of these worth saving one click?
I have so many questions. Do the rows run north-south or east-west? Is there a formula for how widely spaced the rows need to be? Is the pruned wood buried or left on the surface?

Looking forward to the product you mentioned in another post too! :)

> The administration would like to claim they have the option of the Insurrection Act, which will again have to be tested in courts. Calling protests insurrection, even those that commit vandalism, is false on its face.

We're not talking about classifying anything as "insurrection" here.

Given the context of the tweet in question, we are strictly talking about vandalism and trespassing, and we're talking about classifying it as "obstruction of the law", which is explicitly carved out in the text of the Insurrection Act. I'm not sure if you can make a strong case that vandalism and trespassing are NOT an obstruction of the law. If a mid-20th century Arkansas school refusing to desegregate can be considered an obstruction of the law, so too can vandalism/trespassing.

The POTUS declaring the intent to call on the legislature to approve the Insurrection Act against those that are objectively obstructing the law is protected by the Constitution, and you'd have to really stretch yourself to suggest that this fails the imminent lawless action test.

And this is also all assuming that POTUS is talking about using the military. He could also be talking about just calling on the police force to just enforce the existing laws. The statement is vague enough that it's legal on its face, but even in the non-charitable interpretation pretty clearly fails the Brandenburg test.
It is a direct comparison, because Google control Android.

The poster I replied to compared Google and Apple using the terms "stranglehold" and "monopoly". These terms don't work because Apple don't have control of most of the smartphone market, so they can't be a monopoly. Through Android, Google do control most of the smartphone market, so they might have a monopoly effect on the smartphone market. Apple aren't in any position to strongarm things. Google are.

Therefore whatever Apple does with iOS can't be "worse" from this perspective. It could be worse for users, but it can't be "worse" monopolistically for Apple to affect 20% of the market in Apple's favour, than it is for Google to affect 80% of the market in Google's favour.

Google could strongarm Huawei and Sony and LG and all the other Android manufacturers. Apple couldn't. Google could strongarm 80% of smartphone users, Apple only 20%.
I don't understand why this is controversial: companies will continue to abuse us so long as there is a profit incentive to do so.
Are you in the US?

I've heard from several americans that this was the recommended ADA advice (luckily changed at some point in the last 5 years or so).

However, outside the US it seems that the recommendation has always beem to minimize carbs.
Not only that but most of the brands that I would be interested in are almost all below the average, in fact the only brands two in top group I would consider are Lexus and Genesis. And it's not like Tesla is way out of the ball park either, a one million mile Tesla with three superficial flaws, almost no maintenance, very low depreciation and no gas costs beats the other cars here any day.
I had the same exact concern, and I haven't been able to find reliable confirmations on this being completely impossible either.

It's easily testable, though, that a webpage that isn't focused (because an extension's pane is open) doesn't receive input events. Likewise, Chrome [1] and Firefox [2] extensions themselves cannot bind to relevant keys for example. All in all I would say that going through an empty tab is unnecessary - even though I got into the habit of doing it as well - and even if this wasn't true 2FA should be enough to thwart most malicious actors.

Very insightful blogpost and good for the author. It shows its possible to get away from Facebook's social network drug store which they purposefully make it hard for you to quit or delete your profile(s). With Facebook, there's no such thing as 'privacy' and 'account deletion'.

I hope that everyone else isn't addicted to another drug that is called 'Twitter' which one of its side-effects is 'getting the worst out of everyone' and all sorts of nasty media stories spreading over there.
I generally agree although you may still be asked to install MDM on that phone to access, say, work email. How obtrusive that MDM is depends on your company’s policies.

I would also recommend Tatiana Nikolayeva's (1924–1993) Bach recordings. She is considered to be one of the greatest Bach Interpreters. I am fortunate my current teacher was a student of hers in Russia when she was between the ages of 8-14, and am now studying some Bach with her.
Apple’s approach improves privacy in most contexts for all of its users, enough to shape market practices. Your approach works for a tiny, tiny sliver of people - which, by the nature of population-level snooping and marketing, are irrelevant.
Victoria Police emails reveal Clearview AI's dodgy direct marketing
Teams at AWS are almost like individual companies of 5 - 15 people. When integrating with each other they do it in almost the same way external apps would. The frontend of each app is decided by each team using a shared library for UI styling and some guidelines.

This helps with iteration speed and not getting bogged down in middle management approval hell, but it does lead to inconsistency problems.

Hi - coming from a PhD in agriculture (focus on sustainable ag), graduate level courses are going to be tough to jump into unless you have a strong background in ecology. Most of my grad-level courses assumed years of training in e.g. genetics, soil science and chemistry, plant physiology, ecology, weed science, entomology, etc. Agriculture is a very broad life science field.

That said, if you want a quick primer, "Crop ecology: productivity and management in agricultural systems" is a good primer on most of the basic ecological systems in agriculture. I've read it cover to cover many times.

However, you don't need a grad-level education to farm (believe me, I have been reminded this endlessly) - this is more for people doing research. For applied/actionable specifics for cold climates, your best friend is going to be local crop-extension services (in the US, most land-grants run an extension service). They will have tested techniques for your area and will be able to point you to good resources for farmers, not people researching agriculture.
Nice. I went one step further because I don't even want to write HTML. I built my website in PHP to parse plain-text files then sort and display them by creation/modification date or title/category. The only markup in the text files is usually <b>, <i>, and sometimes <a href>. This way I can write in whatever editor I feel like, export as .txt, then scp the file right to my site for publishing. I guess it's like a custom CMS? Either way, it really helps my ability to write for some reason.
