Also, accessibility numbers are almost always measured very low because people who need those affordances aren't even attempting to use it, since so much software ignores it. Years ago when browsers let you lock font sizes, I heard many times from both designers and usability "experts" alike, "well, it's not a big deal nobody ever changes the font anyways", not realizing their own self-fulfilling prophecies.

I've always loved that the Kindle, even with such a simple use case as reading a book, supports so many ways to see it and interact with it, so even people without vision or motor problems can use it the way they like best.

"I have never been ruined but twice in my life — once when I lost a lawsuit, and once when I won one."—Voltaire
It's a fraud because they can do it but I can't do it.

Say I have a network of businesses and individuals who trust each other, or that agree to establish some way to maintain trust with each other. Say we wish to do away with banks. So a person wants to open business A, needs to buy things to get their business up and running. Rather than begging the bank for access to capital [0], I buy things from my fellow businesses in this community on credit. They agree to give me their goods in exchange for my promise to pay back (and in exchange I do the same for their goods).

This still doesn't work because of one simple reason: dollars (or your local currency) are legal tender, and you need legal tender to pay taxes. You cannot legally function on "community credits" alone.

[0]: Which in itself it's a pretty wretched thing that this is in the hands of private individuals, who can decide who gets to start businesses and who remains a wage-slave.

>The desire to have instantaneous trades is why the transfer of funds follows the agreement to trade. The system actually works pretty well;

If what you were saying is true, we wouldn't be the problem under discussion. The fact that it's not true is why we do. If we could have such certainty in the moment over who owned what stock, then we wouldn't need to put up collateral to hedge against the possible failure-to-deliver.

>>people like to ridicule Bitcoin for taking an hour to settle

>What is the dollar value of bitcoin transactions per day, versus the dollar value of stock trades per day? Nasdaq alone trades something like $300B/day.

The question is about latency, not throughput. That is, Nasdaq might throw up $300B/day worth of tentative transfers, but you still have to wait 2 days to "take the assets and run".

And two-day latency is still bad when, unlike Bitcoin, you can take advantage of centralization and lack of anonymity.
I disagree that these "superior" rules are really hidden at all, and need exposing. These are basic assumptions that anyone can make if they spec 5 seconds using common sense.

Why do you think that the SEC, Fed, and all aspects of the US Government would sit back and knowingly let a new financial crisis happen? It doesn't really matter who it's not fair to, it wouldn't happen. You can argue who will get the short end of the stick in the end, and why it's not fair, but that's secondary to my point.

Another good example of this is claims (which yes, have fizzled out over the last couple of days) that Melvin Capital has lost $100B dollars already, and only has $13B in assets (which, if you account for a firesale, is likely much less than that). That amount of money is pretty much the practical maximum that you could get out of Melvin Capital, even if they have done the shady and illegal things that have been alledged. At a point you can't get blood from a stone, no matter how much you feel that you are in the right.
It’s trivial to create an app to pass review and turns into a scam. Far harder to create an actually good and useful app.

On this example, it could have gone like this. They create a simple keypad on the watch, and some subscription screens. The app reviewer verified that there is a keypad on the watch, that the screens language and subscription process is reasonable and approves.

Then when the app appears on the store, now it works entirely differently and all the user sees are the scam screens.
And those search engines wouldn't fall under this law why?
Threaded MPMs and PHP work quite well, I fixed a few bugs in that space some time ago.

There however might be issues in some of the millions libraries PHP potentially links in an called from it's extensions, and those sometimes at emit thread safe, but finding that and finding bypasses isn't easy ...

The other issue is that it's often slower (while there recently were changes from custom thread local storage to more modern one) and if there is a crash (i.e. Recursion stack overflow ...) it affects all requests in that process, not only the one.

This is partially true. Most people have no better than 1Gb/sec per single computer. That means that a single pc using the full 1Gb/sec would saturate the nas network I/O and degrade performances for all other clients.

Which may or may not be okay... You just know to be aware of that.

My understanding of Bedrock Linux's security concerns are addressed in this FAQ entry [0]. In the decade or so I've been working on Bedrock, I have yet to come across any situations where the differing assumptions between distros results in a security issue. Historically, every time assumptions differed in a way Bedrock did not handle, this resulted in things locking down rather than opening up. For a concrete recent example, Void Linux's build of OpenDoas updated recently [1], which resulted in removing Bedrock entries from the $PATH.

The primary concern I personally hold is in Bedrock's code to bootstrap parts of other distros, which does not currently verify the initial set of files used. I am hoping to address this with Bedrock's next major release (0.8.X) [2].

When Bedrock is far enough along that the architecture/code churn slows, I plan to seriously investigate the possibility of independent security reviews. For the time being, if someone claims heightened security needs, I usually redirect them to Qubes OS [3].

A scammy subscription of $400+ a year?! And this gets to the top of the charts because Apple makes more money from it!

These are the instances where the 30% commission (or even the recently announced 15% commission for those earning less than $1M in revenue a year) seems like extortion. Apple really needs to step up on app reviews in terms of false positives (banning legitimate apps for frivolous reasons and reinstating them after social media uproar) and false negatives (allowing scam apps and clones to thrive while hurting the original apps).

Hopefully the threats of regulation can’t manifest soon enough for this to get better for the developers and the users. On one side of the equation you have the developers and users for whom the App Store ecosystem is getting toxic. On the other side of the equation you have two parties making a lot of money for low effort — the crooks and Apple. This is not a good look, Tim Apple and Apple.

Analyzing Google Workspace (G Suite) audit logs via API
This is a problem that poison every platform these days. Apple Store and Play Store are full of borderline or outright scam apps. Google and Facebook keep pushing literal scam or porn-baiting advertisement[0]. Every search engine is poisoned by those shitty top-X, article spamming, fake news website making searching for an answer to some question a real chore. Amazon is full of fake product and scam. Even Steam is now spammed with shitty game that are sometimes not even playable ...

The current states of the "mainstream" internet just make it way to easy to make money making the cheapest content possible or scam. And the company / individual running those are usually in country that keep them safe from any legal repercussion so they can keep doing it over and over again. While not everything is easily fixable, a lot would be better if Google, Apple, Amazon and co would finally step in and enforce their "quality control", make every app, ads, etc, go through and actual human verification process, but that would hurt there margin and it looks like they have no incentive in doing that. They usually have a monopoly or at least a duopoly, so why would they care about the cesspool that their services have become ? Its not like another company can compete with them.

Want to have a real quality app store ? Its not possible on Apple devices and Google make it as hard as possible. Want to compete with Youtube or Twitch ? Be ready to throw a lot of money to attract customer and creator and still fail (hello Mixer) or become a cesspool either way (hello DailyMotion, rutube, ...).

Sure you can try DMCA take down, copyright infringement lawsuit, ... But it will cost you a lot of time and money, which could have been put in your product, and it will be ultimately useless.

I think the difference there is that they have established copyright - have you done so with your App when there is a potential dispute?

Also a movie or song is a lot easier to determine copyright infringement. But a program might be harder due to its complexities.

But this is just my thoughts, I'm no expert AT ALL.

How is OpenCL still a thing? No version beyond 1.2 gained wide adoption, compute shaders can do almost everything 1.2 can do, and the recent 3.0 version simply rolled back all changes since 1.2 by making them optional. It's a seriously dead horse at this point.

It's basically the same concern as having them in source code, we want to be able to control/restrict access to them. In AWS we can do that becase they're encrypted with a KMS key and unless a user/role has permission to decrypt with that key it can't decrypt the secret. This does assume that AWS aren't lying about encrypting things, and that their employees can't access our KMS keys.

We currently use Gitlab for our CI/CD pipelines, but using our own runners in our own AWS account. So if we want to deploy a staging environment from there, it's actually deploying from an AWS role that we control, we're not leaking any secrets to Gitlab or anywhere else.

I'm just wondering how people get around this in Layer/any hosted CI/CD setup where you can't have your own runners inside your AWS account. Especially because they don't replace the production deploy, so ultimately those secrets are staying in AWS - perhaps in addition to wherever they need to go with Layer.

FWIW I did find something about secrets in the docs: https://layerci.com/docs/layerfile-reference/secret-env#secr... - but I'm not sure how you get secrets in from that.

That's true. I remember the SGIs and Suns tied to their larger siblings where the rack-sized behemoth did the number crunching and the desktop workstation did the visualization of the data. I didn't suspect Linux would still be relevant in this role - I see lots of Windows boxes doing that, even when the app is presenting itself through X (something I find quite amusing).

Fair in general, but for this example accessible writing is maybe more the issue - whoever made the content should avoid mixing languages if they want to be accessible.

If the "keyboard" wasn't usable for practical purposes then why did it pass review? A stronger review process could refuse such apps.

And if the "keyboard" was usable for practical purposes then why would the scammer waste the chance to monetize those practical, working features which they sunk their own time developing?
Agreed, I always thought VPC and all that complexity was a big step backwards. My org is moving from a largely managed network into AWS, and now we have to configure the whole network and external gateways ourselves? What engineer wants to do this?

VPCs are virtual, but I don't need VPCs, I need the entire network layer virtualized and abstracted. As you suggested,just grouping devices in a single network and saying "let them all talk to each other, let this one talk to that one over this port/IP" should be all I describe. Let AWS figure out CIDR, routing, gateways, etc.

Partial indexes can be useful in any case where one value has much higher cardinality than others.

Indexing boolean columns is often only useful if one of the values is uncommon and the index is partial to only include those uncommon rows.
