This is a big breach of trust in terms of Apple always being on the side of user privacy.

If someone knows enough to install these firewall apps, then they know enough to figure out what they want to enable/disable even for Apple applications.

If Apple thinks certain rules cause issues, they certainly could work with the developer of these apps to educate users of adverse effects when certain things cause unintended issues for the user. The decision should still lie with the user. Bypassing firewalls by privileging some traffic is not okay.

Looks like for now, the only real option is an external device you always connect through running pfsense or another firewall, which is not too big a deal for use on a home network, but requires carrying around another device when on other networks.
As far as I know the outer space treaty only prevents the construction of military installations, but civilian construction would be perfectly lawful under the treaty.
After Google used browsers to gain monopoly and cutting off their income, there's only so many monetization strategies you can do to stay somewhat competitive with an advertising company providing browser for free while simultaneously trying to block you from using any other browser.
This is exactly the type of thing we can explore that pays dividends in ways that has a halo effect over everything in our life, not just our startup performance. Thanks for mentioning!
> But isn't iOS software a specific market?

No it's just a software platform that's open to 3rd parties to develop for, just like Android, Windows, macOS, Linux, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, Smart TV's, Speakers, Watches, embedded platforms, etc. you could go as far and say that Cloud Providers or even Game Engines are software platforms.

But a single platform doesn't define a market, the prominent market iOS is in would be smart mobile OS's of which Android is apart of. Its 60% US Market share could be a determining factor in the US although they do have a clear unobstructed competitor in Android - time will tell as rulings from current investigations & trials get handed down. Of course it's not illegal to have a monopoly, only if its dominant Monopoly power position is abused for anti-competitive purposes, typically for creating a monopoly in a different market, but there are a few other abuses.
Another large reason for undefined behaviour is to allow for optimizations. The optimizer of a particular compiler version is well defined by the compiler's source code and binary. But in order to be able to ever change the optimizer, you need to have undefined behaviour in the language specification.

I'm hoping this update helps with Firefox's performance watching Twitch streams. Twitch kinda chugs no matter what browser I use but it's noticeably worse with Firefox. From the googling I've done, I'm not alone in this. I considered switching back to Chrome but didn't feel like moving all my stuff over, so hopefully now I won't have to.
Surely you mean the only levers of political power aside from consent? If you have a legitimate mandate from the electorate, you can get an awful lot done. However when you reach the limits of your political base, then yes the temptation is to reach for other means. For governments without a popular mandate or support, or who are insecure in the support they may have, well, the result often isn't pretty.
So? Users expect basic OS functionality (like the App Store, Maps, etc) to function.

Do people really install Little Snitch (which I've used since 2005 or so) for blocking Apple's own apps?
I use Firefox on Ubuntu and do not have this issue - is there something more specific that triggers this behavior? Have a link to the bug tracker?
Very interesting set of observations. As a C and C++ programmer, I am feeling more and more excited about Zig.

One thing that feels missing from Zig though is encapsulation. I don't believe that you can declare struct fields private, such that they can only be accessed by methods. This seems really important to me, not only as a technical means of enforcing invariants, or hiding internal-only implementation details that may change, but even just as a communication of intent. There is a big difference between "you are invited to read/write this directly" and "please don't read/write this."

C doesn't have this, true, but at least in C you can put internal-only structs in a .c file instead of .h, making the members effectively invisible to clients. Does Zig have anything comparable?
I'm using it on Focal and it's fine. Can you link to that bug? Maybe something related to hardware acceleration? I had trouble with that in the past year.
I just used the pop-out video feature for the first time, after thinking it was going to be useless. It is really awesome and the ability to put the video anywhere, not just in the browser, was one of the first things in a while that made me say wow to a new feature in a web browser.
Is the idea here that by building a 4G/LTE network they can use pre-existing hardware (or at least pre-existing technology) on future missions at much lower cost than the alternative?
Hey great idea! I am a part-time real estate agent and if you want to email me.

Personally, I have been using self hosted Monica CRM. I have tried various CRMs and they all seem to have some issues, especially for part-timer REALTORs. MonicaCRM works for now.

Full disclosure, my goal to pivoting to real estate is so that I can work on my startup ideas, one of those ideas is CRM for REALTORs.
From another comment:

> Sure, you can make a brand new account, but that's easier said than done, because:

> 1) You can't be logged into two accounts at the same time on the desktop. You must use different browser profiles or a similar sandboxing method. Definitely out of the question for mobile.

> 2) No way to transfer your old servers, friends, roles, etc, to a new account.

> 3) Making a new account isn't always a reasonable option even if you are willing to lose all of your old data. Moving from one role to another to another in a gaming career often is done gradually through connections and community (but that doesn't imply you should have to be forced to expose your system username and user id to everyone everywhere).

> 4) Even if you do make a new account, that new account might get disabled automatically until you provide a phone number. Throwaway numbers don't work.
A story on starting an app with React Native to publishing on App Store
Hi , I’m Rishi(https://twitter.com/thelifeofrishi), before quarantine I didn’t know anything about react native. I was familiar with react though. I started working on this diary app which I started just for practicing native. I never thought to publish it considering my track record of abandoned side projects and I thought I would just learn from it. Where it went real crazy is when I started to write code, React native and then being able to use tailwind with RN, it got me so interested I started working on the project taking PTO from my actual work sometimes.

3 or so months later, today I released the app on AppStore and planning to release it for Android too.

About the app: it is a diary app, lets you write diary entries through text or voice recorded entries. I’m a designer so I’ve did my good to make sure it looks good.

Here’s the link if anyone wants to check it out -
https://apps.apple.com/in/app/maazi-personal-diary/id1535320472

PS: Thanks RN and Expo team for making apps easier for us.
I bet they have feature flags that are signed and validated by Apple. You wouldn’t be able to run your app without their approval (which they won’t give).
You're mostly correct.

Yahoo has been Bing for years, and DuckDuckGo pulls from Bing and Yandex - the latter being mostly for searches in Russian.
I use Firefox 78 on Ubuntu 19.10 and do not see 100% CPU usage at all. In fact, with over 1000+ tabs all 8 cores are just over 10% (of course there are other processes running as well).

Is there a bug with more details on this?
They provide the OS. If you don't trust them, then you shouldn't trust anything running on top of it either...
Is there anyone who gets 'Your browser is out of date' type of notification on slack in Firefox, windows 10. I can open slack app on linux with Firefox, but for Windows, slack insists that Firefox is out of date and I should use another browser instead.

My Google Fu only turned up the Outer Space Treaty https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty

But I wouldn't be surprised if this is new territory for law and sovereignty on the moon, and will be a bit controversial.
Or someone just made a typo - thinking "sent" but typing "side" is not too far-fetched (I do these kind of typos all the time when I'm distracted).
You can ban obvious spam and not censor the rest. So yes, you'd get some of the spam, but at least you wouldn't be censoring the rest. But you'd still need _some_ form of control, of course

I think time is probably running out for the current 2010s AI hype train. It happened before in the 80s/early nighties when few successful practical applications occurred and investment became disillusioned.
When I saw a dev I mentored put that on a site I realized I had failed in my attempts to fully explain the dark days of the browser wars. Chrome truly is IEv2.
I'm arguing supply and demand.

If the Fed comes along and buys loans from the Banking system it increases the supply of loans... (banks are restricted by Basel Capital regulation in the supply of loans they can provide, otherwise too much liability money creation.)

If they buy loans from anybody else - since the Fed creates money to do so (by virtue of also being a bank), they again potentially increase the supply of loans, if the lenders then relend the money.

And the total quantity of debt goes up, its price goes down, and everybody wonders why.
But is that because of npm, or is it because of their massive array of dependencies, plus webpack, bable, pollyfills and whatever 5 transpilers they have integraated into their project?

UK as well, it's actually quite frustrating since child benefit is based on the highest paid partner, not the combined income of both partners.
Hasn't this always been a bit of an issue? Apps with root privileges have been able to get around Little Snitch for as long as I can recall. Some software relies specifically on that ability.
fingers crossed it's that and not another stupid settlement!

> I don't know if I would call the SciPy ecosystem the flagship libraries of python.

I mean, sure NumPy is integral to python finance and scientific computing...but it's also right at the heart of the popular Python roguelike tutorial, too.

There's Python code that doesn't use NumPy, sure (I've got some in production right now), but I can't personally think of a Python library with nearly as deep dependencies across nearly as diverse a range of use cases.
As someone who does a lot of slides, mainly on Keynote and sometimes on PowerPoint, Pitch seems to be a similar kind of large, incremental upgrade when we moved from Sketch to Figma.

For example something as rudimentary as collaboration just barely works on Keynote (and requires files to be saved to iCloud to boot, which doesn't work for us at all). With Pitch you can just share a link and off you go. IIRC this also applies to Powerpoint: to collaborate you need to upload the documents to SharePoint/OneDrive. Google Slides can do this, but for weird some reason (like many of Google's online products) it just doesn't feel good to use.

That said, I have only worked on Pitch for hours so YMMV. Congrats on the launch!
I moved with my Ikea furniture ~10 times in the last 12 years, including 3 interstate moves and a couple stints in storage, and almost all of it is ~good as new; we have both the cheapest $10 coffee tables and chairs, and the "high end" (for Ikea) stuff.

The only exception was one poorly designed under-the-bed drawer (the front gradually falls off due to the impacts if you kick it closed).
Thx a lot for this explanation.

We're full time. It just started as a side-project
BackBlaze has been doing this for years, and they're well received in many online communities. They don't need to do this, and the data is arguably valuable to keep proprietary.

Are there any other examples of companies doing similar releases of valuable internal data?
I seen to remember the Manhattan project being a bit more single minded in it's focus. :)
On that list I only see a couple of things I could justify being salty about MS killing, and those two aren't it... both were already on life-support by being out competed.

You could argue in a round about way they were killed because they didn't execute competently or something, but several things on that list were either outcompeted or obsoleted by their environment (Silverlight => HTML5).

Bell also forced you to rent their telephones if you wanted phone service. The old Bell was a disaster for consumers and Bell Labs does not excuse their monopolistic practices. As a counterpoint consider Xerox PARC, which brought us the GUI and Ethernet without Xerox fucking over their customers (too much).

Edit: I find it funny that someone posting on "Hacker" News is defending a monopoly that extracts an ad tax from every startup and kills many innovative new companies by acquihire.
Thanks for the detailed answer.

From your comment and article it seems you're focused on marketing teams rather than a general purpose website builder. It would be great if you communicated this in your homepage. I know a couple of marketing teams using WP just to use themes and building landing pages.
You can want a job, but not be looking for a job because your prior attempts to secure one have been unsuccessful. This is called discouraged unemployment and figures into the overall category of marginally-attached workers.
I would love if there would be a small appliance based on a raspberry pi zero or something of similar size, that could be controlled/configured from an app on your phone. This device would be powered through a usb cable (no data) from your laptop, and act as a WiFi hotstpot that you can use to route all your traffic via the VPN or network of your choice. Even if your laptop would be infected by malware or a rootkit, it would be impossible to avoid the little physical VPN/firewall.
Is there a name for the idea of "adaptive JIT"?

where the code starts executing without JIT, while another thread is instantiated that is doing JITting in the background, and as soon as the JITting is done, JITted version takes over seamlessly for the rest of the execution.
Last I checked, Windows won't let you use self-signed attestation keys for your homemade devices.

KH3 from 3 years ago clearly is missing dynamic shadows (e.g. when Woody moves his head, the lighting around his face changes based on shadows cast by his hat and nose). Also the original toystory appeared to have at least 2 surfaces for reflecting off of the floor while I didn't see any reflections off of the floor in KH3. Granted that's 3 years old now.

Also, TS was definitely rendered higher than 1080p to make the transfer to 35mm film for large screens.
The problem is, as noted, the meta-circular sourcing where following a non-wiki source eventually leads back to wikipedia.

Like dead link detecting, the Wiki policy on sources breaks down when the chain to the primary sources is longer than a single hop.

I'm being a bit facetious, but why would you need this if marketers can control everything already? :-)
If you don’t trust Apple then you need something more than little snitch. Apple is responsible for both hardware and OS. What delta in security or trust is little snitch going to offer over Apple?
Yep. China figured out that they can just pay the hand to shoot the foot. The hand commissions some academic opinions on the virtues of foot-shooting so that in the unlikely case someone tries to hold it accountable it can claim it didn't know that foot-shooting was bad.
I'd argue this opens up a giant attack surface where malicious software will try to route its command and control communication through a protected service. Do we really want to trust that Apple will keep all 50+ of these privileged services fully protected?

I think it makes the "world" slightly worse in that it will be harder to discover malware. Little snitch has a small user base, but it's been used to identify many forms of malware and protect many more people once the threat is identified.
Hmm. Nice. Thanks a lot for letting me know - I had no idea. Inspiration is always useful :)
He, Inada Naoki and Victor Stinner on the optimization front are some developers that are capable of pulling a JIT of CPython.

This is something that I feel that Python need to do to keep the relevance. .Net Core, Rust and GoLang are examples of modern languages that deliver on the performance front.

I love Python and it is what use everyday. But very often I feel the need to a better code generation. Numba and Cython feels like a glue. PyPy it is slow with extensions, and this is a huge part of Python ecosystem. Although HPy (https://github.com/hpyproject/hpy) is trying to change this.

I feel that this is a must to Python, and would love to contribute money to this task.

That loop has to run over high quality, relevant data. The regression model needs to be retrained if the production data drifts from the original training dataset. The output of the regression model needs to be wired into a downstream application or decision support tool. That downstream application needs to know how to deal with error bars. A data scientist / statistician needs to re-architect the whole thing if the data or business requirement changes substantially.

As usual, the hardest problems are outside of the code.

You could (and perhaps would) make the same argument about Intel (for providing the processor) or Broadcom (for providing the wifi chip) or Comcast (for providing internet service). And it's true, all of these parties have the ability to use their positions for nefarious purposes.

However, I would like to limit that potential as much as possible, partly by creating a stigma against practices that remove control from the user.
I built one that does exactly that: http://luminaldev.com
Apple seems to do all kinds of weird networking _stuff_. For instance, during wakeup, your T2 equipped Macbook will wait for a DNS response and then use said DNS response to synchronize time via NTP before letting the user use the keyboard. Probably checking timestamps on signatures for the keyboard firmware, or something stupid like that. This only happens if it happens to have a default route.

Similarly, all macOS machines will test a DHCP supplied default route before applying it by trying to reach something on the internet. So if you happen to have some firewall rules that block internet access, no default route will be applied until the internet check times out.

I won't share the other sentiments about the above, but is it really that hard to document these behaviors?
Ah, makes sense. By being able to express "abstract and correct thought" I mean being able to express myself in a system much like a mathematician would. Coq for example is too constructively oriented for my taste to make that possible (I know, you can "just add an axiom" ...), and its automation is also (therefore?) not good enough.
