It's still better than the competition IMO.

The intent of the spying should also be considered. Apple does not have a significant targeted advertising business which reduces/removes the incentive to hoover up as much personal data as they can.

Would I prefer something that doesn't spy at all? Absolutely, but this means rolling your own computing environment using Linux and giving up a lot of features that are considered a given in macOS, and yet there's only 24 hours in a day and I no longer have time for that.
All these actions and far more are widely done by less scrupulous bitcoin exchanges.

"Not following sensible standards to protect your own App Store monopoly and being a pain in the ass to work with due to rendering differences that all other browsers get right(even Firefox)" is not a good base to build a defense against a monopoly on.
If you read the parent post, the support is implemented on top of WebAuthn standard, so as far as developers are concerned, they don’t have to do anything Safari-specific to support it - their code will work fine with YubiKey or other Authenticators as well. Which is the point of web standards after all.

Depends on the university. Some place functional languages in the initial 2-4 course sequence which would make this an appropriate course for their students. Many others relegate functional languages to a "programming paradigms" course, which would make it less appropriate for their students.

I don't think it's as simple as "use FOSS" if you want good UI performance, aesthetics and usability. If anything, I'd say most FOSS is worse than commercial software, especially compared to the native stuff on macOS.
Regarding "bigboy stuff", it is really a simple argument, let me repeat in simpler words. Extreme data reliability beyond RAID6 is important for some specific deployments where loss of data is unacceptable, say for a unique experiment at CERN or a long supercomputer job that can't be repeated. But such strategy is also needlessly costly for other, less critical RAID users. The latter group of operators is many times bigger and this is often not reflected in these "RAID5/RAID6 is obsolete" discussions.

I agree with you that in time, the high-end tech becomes the standard tech. But that takes some time. There is quite a non-magical space of small providers who do not care for super reliable storage or super fast rebuilds and this will be the case for a long time. Yes the faster the rebuild the better, and "it is a concern" is fine. One week or month rebuild can be lived with. There is nothing magical about one day, one week or one month. They are all very short compared to typical drive lifespan.

At the same time, yes I believe 100TB drives, if they come, will be used in those extremely reliable big deployments, simply because of better TCO and expansion of data. Even if rebuild times will be longer than today, I believe it can be made to work reliably.

I recall seeing an article a couple of months ago where YouTube "helpfully" announced increased monetization opportunities by adding midroll ads to videos of 8 minutes (in addition to the ads playing before it starts). This default was flicked for all existing videos, although creators could disable them by manually opting out for every single video.

But yes, the ad quantity has certainly increased tremendously in YouTube compared to a year ago.
It’s actually been around for a while; the Internet Archive seems to indicate that it has been around since at least January 2014 [1], and I’ve been using the filter list with UBlock Origin for at least a couple years now.

One day ycombinator will be full of people that talk after informing themselves, but that day is not today.

The Chromium Edge doesn’t support 3rd party cookies already and thus isn’t really subject to targeted ads like Safari or Firefox.

Now please continue with your reasoning.
Appreciate the support and love the feature suggestions!

Definitely something we'll be thinking about. Would love to run it by you as we build!
What is Safari on iOS missing specifically?
How have those advertised programs profited you? (I would guess not at all, interesting to be corrected.)
From the banks perspective to make the money back, that it takes for a lot of people to payback their student loans, means they end up charging massive interest.

I don't like to see people placed in a financial situation that is a massive hardship, but the details were there, they weren't tricked, it's not like they are people loan sharing these loans. The people go to them, have the terms presented and seemingly take the loans that put them in a world of hurt.

Many of these loans, have you building interest the whole time you are in school. So you end up owning principal + 4 years interest the day you graduate, that's a bad deal that students take every semester.

And you can't easily discharge the debt, but tons of people just don't pay their loans back. And many more that take 10 times as long as they agreed to.
Browsers should allow users to install extensions from github.
This is wrongly downvoted despite being absolutely right.

There's a big misunderstanding behind these "cookie" consent prompts. They are actually about overall data processing consent regardless of technical means - this includes cookies but also things like browser fingerprinting, IP addresses, etc which will persist despite clearing cookies.

Using an extension that automatically grants consent and merely deletes cookies every time would give you a false sense of security if the automatically granted consent allows them to use your browser's fingerprint or IP address to track you anyway.

Pi-hole is amazing, but before standing one up, be aware that it does not block YouTube ads without additional configuration.
You could have read it when you replied, but that escaped you clearly...
AFAIK, Firefox does, if you're running the beta/nightly channel (and maybe you need to have set an about:config pref too, I forgot, search about it). I install the beta release of uBlock Origin from its GitHub releases page.

EDIT: browser makers are understandably cautious about it, even with a closed ecosystem it's already hard enough for them to avoid half their users getting pushed into installing dubious/malware addons within three hours of browsing, and their resources are limited. So, they default to closed-ness "for the masses", but there's a knob. I don't find this unreasonable.
Have you considered paying the $13/mo to not see ads?
The vast majority of the annoying consent prompts are provided by a few vendors so are trivial to detect & block.
Anybody reading this site can afford to pay for YouTube Premium to eliminate the ads. How much is your time worth?
What about Edge? I found Firefox unusable on my phone - prone to crashing and a bit slow. Meanwhile, Edge for Android includes some of the privacy and Adblocking features of FF but still uses the Chromium renderer so it doesn't sacrifice performance. I'm very happy with it.

On desktop I'm all FF, of course.

Not if it's overcrowded and unhealthy. Cities improve by obviating slums/shanties and overdensity and by modernizing.
Yup, could do that, that's a good idea.

The other thing we did, slightly simpler, was introduce a plethora of choices where only prior knowledge would get you (easily) to the page.

E.g. You can land on page A a number of different ways, but only from one path do you find out the suspect is in a certain city. Then from page A you're asked if you want to go to B, C, D, E or F. Without the prior knowledge there are too many choices.
Or plug in an external monitor (or other peripherals) like a normal person.

I agree. And it's sort of perverse, isn't it? At least they’ll have extensions soon (or they do, already?) so it’ll become more usable. I would gladly use Safari on desktop, too. The graphics are excellent, which is one of the reasons I’m excited about https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri

If you're not answering many questionnaires, it's totally possible that you don't need help. We have customers who are filling out 5-10 of these per week, and the time really adds up.

We also have absolutely no requirement for our customers to generate docs with us. Any high quality security documentation will do. If you want to spend the hours required to take something open source and adjust them to your needs, more power to you!
But what exactly?

Wikipedia says it does support it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_web_application:

Hey! When you record a tour, it simply creates a JSON file that can be committed/maintained as part of the associated codebase. Then, when someone takes the tour later, they're simply "reading" that file locally in their editor, and so no data about the codebase is ever sent externally.
Seems like bullshit. The linked document doesn’t support the claim.

For this specific use case, it's missing the Web Push API[1], which can be used to implement push notifications, and the Web Notification API[2], which can also be used for the same thing.

That’s a very long, thoughtful, and detailed document. Linking to it without any context at all isn’t super helpful.

What exactly are you referring to when you claim Apple ‘spies on its [sic] users’?

Every bit of data Apple has about me is a) made explicitly clear, b) used for a specific purpose or feature, and c) isn’t sold to or used in any adtech bs. That all sounds good to me…
Both parts (compiler backends & fuzzing) are immensely complicated stuff on their own. I can only imagine the trickery and head scratching that comes with the combination.

I’ve worked on simpler approximations of both [0][1] before and can attest even the simple parts are hard to get working reliably.

There are some situations where there is a genuine need for data to be air-gapped, i.e. defence, highly sesnsitive secrets, etc. I've encountered this a few times and a once or twice I felt it was truly justified as opposed to being overly paranoid.

However these days I see a hybrid model in which the truly sensitive stuff is in an on-site datacenter and there is a one-way "data diode" style transfer from the low security zone to the higher security zone.
> Conversely, if Safari refuses to implement some alleged 'feature', it becomes much less useful even if Chrome does implement it.

How is Safari not implementing standards seen as a good thing?

While I do acknowledge that there might be privacy concerns when it comes to Chrome, I do appreciate that Google is trying to push the Web forward, while Apple is trying to hold the Web back.

Safari truly is the worst browser, I fucking hate it.
Apple is doing the bare minimum and pretends to "protect user privacy" when all they do is to prevent the web to compete with their app store.
Apple pretends to care about the user experience when they are the only ones not implementing standards that would benefit the user.

Ohh and you are on Windows and wan't to debug something on Safari? Forget it.
I also like that it is a very comprehensive book, it covers almost all fundamental approaches to programming, and clearly sets out their scopes and limitations.
Amiga and Atari ST weren't 8-bit and overlapped the PC era. These were the platforms where the term chiptune emerged and thrived as part of the demo/cracking scene.

The original SoundBlaster, SB Pro & SB 16 could and did output PCM sound, and there were mod players & trackers written for them that enabled the creation of chiptune style music-- generally music with very small PCM samples to sound like the C-64 or Atari ST. These uses on PC had nothing to do with MIDI.

> the latter is an insult directed at the people making decisions

The way I see unprincipled is two fold:
1) You're breaking your promise
2) In a similar situation behave differently

1) Pin was a problem from the start. Allowing it into std/core was a mistake. The fact they allowed an almost blatantly unsound feature is unprincipled.

I'm not 100% sure of the timeline, but near or before the release there were examples floating of a possible Pin unsoundness. And defense was, it's an obscure thing, no one would really use that in practice. The moment designer says, no one would use that in practice, is the moment they lost.

2)
Yeah, I get async was a feature everyone wanted. By same measure, why not add self-referential struct. People want it. It's probably unsound but you can't tell. Maybe there exist a model that allows self-referntial structs.

Similar situation, different behavior

I never worked with pure Zope, my first job in the mid 2000 was using Plone, a CMS build on top of it. Certainly overkill for simple websites, but I found it much more enjoyable than other big CMS of the time.

It had some cool things, that I started missing once I moved on. How well the permission system, workflow engine and hierarchical content structure worked together, undo functionality, accessing things via urls like “/path/to/object/method” instead uf unreadable params, component based UI, having a single configuration file (zc.buildout) to have a reproducible environment for development and production, etc.

In many regards they were ahead of the time I think, at least in the space of things between simple script driven websites and very enterprisey solutions.
Playing poker is trivial to automate, it’s essentially fully solved.

Driving is often surprisingly social. I had many instances where I observed somebody pulling out of a driveway in front of me and something about how their head was turned or whatnot meant I subconsciously “knew” in a split second that they were about to go full speed without looking, so I had to slow down. Stop sign tie-breaking gets complicated. Pedestrian/bike rider eye contact is a thing. “Do I know that they know that I know what their intentions are?” And so on.

It’s not as complex as fully solving human communication, but it seems like a huge challenge when mixing human and automated driving on the same roads.

But I also don’t know if there were similar transition concerns when horse buggies were being replaced with cars and people had wrong expectations?

Maybe we should paint these cars in bright orange and have flashing lights on all the time so that people learn to expect the different behaviour. (The huge Lidar rig on top of some self driving cars works to that purpose)

One, “feature” isn’t the same as a standard. And two, standards aren’t standard. They’re adopted through a dubious process and then ignored by the most powerful companies.
I'm wondering if there's actually something wrong with the cameras. With good cameras and cutting edge AI, spatial estimation shouldn't be that hard. Traffic with unpredictable moving objects is hard, but finding drivable area in static setting and not hitting on curbs should be easy, right?
Isn’t the entire point of progressive web apps that they’re tolerant of different features being available or not? That’s ‘progressive enhancement’. Your app is supposed to work if the functionality isn’t there, or equally if it’s there but denied access. You can have it show updates when the user checks the app if that’s what they want.

Complaining a browser doesn’t support a progressive feature is a contradiction in terms!

The more I see posts like this that complain about other browsers lacking features and essentially encouraging the "Google-isation" of browsers, the more convinced I am of the power of Google's gigantic monopoly-enhancing propaganda-machine.

Firefox unfortunately has no choice but to be dragged along by Google.
I love Safari as a browser, but I hate the fact that it neuters the web and makes it feel much less powerful. Web Bluetooth and webUSB are ignored by Safari and unsupported. Notification support is lacking last I checked. No PWA functionality to speak of and webNFC won’t be added. Extensions are lacking largely due to being basically native apps that bring with them all the cost and overhead of being such.

As a browser Safari is beautiful (loving the look of it on Big Sur), efficient, lightweight and has a lot of little creature comforts that other browsers can’t or won’t implement because they are Mac specific (keychain, Touch/FaceID, native share sheet, 2fa code reads direct from Messages, etc). But it’s also hard to see a future in a browser that is still stuck in a Web 2.0 philosophy.

The author’s point is good though: Safari is becoming the final bastion of hope against a purely Chromium landscape just by virtue of being an Apple product with an immediately large market share. I hope Apple will use this position of power wisely and help drive browser behavior rather than just being comfortable to exist in their own little world. Wishful thinking, I’m afraid. For Apple Safari seems to be little more than a talking point when advertising MacOS/iOS. It’s just another feature.

For what it’s worth I’ve been really enjoying Vivaldi of late (I have no affiliation with the project, just including for context on my day to day browser).

I don't think there's any magic going on here, the series x/s is just more powerful than the one x/s, so the game can run at a higher framerate.

The game already ran fine at 60fps (and above) on PC at launch, so the engine can handle it fine already.

"FPS Boost" is just marketing speak for "we've decided to prioritize framerate on the next gen consoles rather than improving visuals and keeping things locked at 30fps"
I bet it helps for some niche apps like webgl/webgpu games.
