What about device Ownership prevents an app with Full Disk Access from encrypting files as it pleases?

Ruining the OS install is not the objective of most ransomware because that makes it harder to show your demands and accept payment.
I love the idea of this and echo the comments on good UI, but would need to see more convenience for it to be worth switching from my existing system.

I currently use Workflowy for this, which has web/native desktop apps for easily typing out lists that can be completed on the phone like this, crossing them off in the same way. Workflowy don't have an apple watch app yet though so you have an advantage there.

Also I would change the "crossing out" action to work on clicking anywhere on the row, whereas now it only works on the radio button or label. That's a big pain for right handed people with one-word items.
I like that this lets you join CSVs, which a lot of tools in this space don’t.
I have with with docker on Mac about two years ago. Just got a dedicated server to run it and it’s made my development a lot less stressful. I’d suggest doing the same.
Trying to ship software for OSX *in general* drives me crazy, and this seems like more.

This quote: "I’ve been unable to find any information provided by Apple (or anyone else) which explains what’s going on, what the errors mean, or how to address them."

That's my experience constantly.

My development build had weird behavior when I explicitly launch it? Oops, Apple launched a cached version of the app inside a private temp directory (thanks Gatekeeper!) associated with the protocol handler.

But no way to tell until I casually check the process working directory. No documentation indicating how to troubleshoot this.

Countless issues like this.

Whenever I develop for JavaScript, if I find a module that just has weird undefined and undocumented behavior, I get rid of it no matter how powerful. I wish I could do that with the Mac developer ecosystem. It's closed and Apple will say that gives them a premier experience but it's the little snags that cost me 90% of my time and are impossible to troubleshoot other than grunting through it.
Or you just use React and it has that function already built for you...

I'm done with persuasion. I just want them to pay for the consequences of their decisions.
The paranoia inducing effects can be very therapeutic, especially for people who suffer from paranoia and anxiety in general.

You can ask your doctor for a drug that allows you to increase or decrease paranoia at your leisure. He would probably look at you like you're insane before saying “No, I have no such drug.” But he does: marijuana.

But he wouldn't prescribe a drug that induces paranoia to cure paranoia, unless he's thinking desensitization.

This sounds counterintuitive, but that's how marijuana cured me of anxiety. I became desensitized to being paranoia while stoned, so desensitized that the “paranoia stopped making me paranoid”: “Oh! I'm just being paranoid! It's the weed.*

What surprised me was that this effect followed me whether I was stoned or not.

My anxiety got drastically better, cured almost, and it's because marijuana gave me control over paranoia by exposing me to it over and over and over, desensitizing me: Smoke a lot, really paranoid. Smoke a little, a little paranoid. Smoke nothing, not paranoid.

“Hey, Mom, look! I can turn the paranoia on or off whenever I want to! Now I'm in control, it doesn't control me.”

I essentially cured myself of paranoia by using marijuana as a paranoia desensitization tool.

And you absolutely can desensitize yourself to marijuana's paranoia inducing effects. You do become accustomed to the experience, and it won't bother nearly as much as it might have before.

You can also be very selective about the strains you consume. Heavy sativas induce paranoia as consistently as heavy indicas induce the munchies.
Apple over the years has an extremely consistent 60% margin on iPhone from BOM cost to RSP, that is excluding NRE, patents, Services, iOS, distribution and many other things. This distorted a bit once they introduce iPhone X in 2017 / 2018 along with their Services Revenue accounting changes.

Not to discount this app, but Trello is pretty nice here. My wife and I have several boards shared between us. It's especially cool to be at home and add a few things to the grocery board, then the other checks their phone and grabs the things while they were already out.

So its a GUI wrapper around sqlite. I guess I expect data scientists and engineers to be comfortable with command line and scripting, and there are GUIs that will work with sqlite already, so I guess I'm having hard time figuring out the target audience for this.
Wow. Thank you for taking the time to respond at length to the demo I shared. This will help me improve/improvise it a little more!

Overall, there’s a lot of work before a book like this goes native on the web. Better still, it the experience is standardized across vendors—which I have attempted as far as possible with the available tech. I mean scrolling is skeuomorphism off of the physical scrolls too, but that’s the point of start for a root problem here. Native books have never happened on the web, and that’s one main reason why people continue to buy the dead-tree; the lack of availability, bad experience and all.

> Physical reference books are often accessed in a non-linear fashion, and often not alone. But let's forget that second part and focus on non-linear.

The demo does implement random access via page numbers on the tail of the url. This affords both random access i.e non-linear reading and referential accessibility [1].

I think rendering stolen devices useless is also on the feature list. iPhone theft has become super rare, because a stolen device is neigh-impossible to activate and thus has little to no resale value.

It seems like these changes have good intentions (i.e. improved security), but introduce a lot of complexity that can have unintended consequences for end-users. This reminds me somewhat of my process setting up UEFI Secure Boot on my Windows PC that wasn't originally configured for it. Not in the exact steps, but in that there is a ton going on behind the scenes and the UX is horrendously bad.

Unfortunately, vendors haven't really thought about how to explain these changes to end-users. They are trying to make them fairly transparent, which probably works at least 95% of the time, but for a small percentage of people, becomes a big PITA.
Public transport is vastly more effective than anywhere else in the UK. But it's still pretty grim, hugely overcrowded at peak times, very unpleasant in warm weather, and that was before there was a deadly virus in the air.

It would be really nice if I could own my phone to the point where I could install an outgoing firewall or harden the os to my abilities instead of blind trust into the diligent but not infallible vendor.

Virtual DOM qualifies as clever in my book. :)

Better question to ask is why so many libraries/frameworks proliferate in webdev and not as much in native apps. JS is a suitably powerful language these days.

Also, the attitude of “just use jQuery like everyone else” (paraphrasing the last paragraph and substituting for React) would have precluded the development of React.

I thought baking matrix arithmetic into the language was more about making matrix-related code look nice than making it faster. That is, most languages just use LAPACK for matrix arithmetic, even Matlab and Julia, and they are distinguished only in that they provide special syntax for it. "In Julia (as in much of scientific computation), dense linear-algebra operations are based on the LAPACK library, which in turn is built on top of basic linear-algebra building-blocks known as the BLAS" [0]. How does baking matrix arithmetic into the language itself (maybe I misunderstood what you meant by this) provide new opportunities for compilers to optimize the code? Is it that if every bit of a program was implemented in the same language (e.g., Fortran), the compiler can do whole-program optimizations it otherwise could not?

That's because you're not offering enough money. Raise it by 20%, 50%, 200%. Keep raising it until you get qualified applicants.

You will eventually find a price that attracts the people your business needs. And if that price is too high to turn a profit and there's no other way, shut down.

As far as I know, the order of the keys that are used to decrypt incoming messages also indicate the order in which the decrypted messages were sent.

Paper maps are also constantly outdated, can't record your track, and show way less extra points of interest.

Maps also cost money and take weight and take time to ship or pick up, meaning in many groups at most one person will have one. Better hope you don't have to split the group. Everyone has their phone. Offline maps can be had for free, weigh nothing and you can download it on short notice.

I also object to maps having no failure modes. They definitely wear out, or rip, or get stains. Some aren't waterproof. They are also terrible at night, even with flashlights (especially since most people will have lights with shitty CRI). And they can't zoom - so of you're farsighted, hope you don't lose your glasses...
> The function I am talking about doesn't take any arguments.

All impure functions have an implicit dependency on (some subset of) the state of the universe when they execute; in mathematics and logic something with this kind of dependency is typically noted by parameterizing it by time when the actual precise nature of the dependency is outside of the scope of the immediate analysis (because a dependency on the state of the universe at the time of execution is equivalent to a dependency on the time of execution with a hidden function mapping time to state of the universe.)

That impure functions methods are in many programming languages syntactically not distinguished from pure ones does not change the logic here.

That Time.now(at time t0) is distinct from Time.now(at time t1) is... unsurprising, and not an example of A != A in logical terms.
lol you give thieves too much credit. Literally two minutes ago I was watching a video of thieves trying to ram a car into an ATM in France.
I disagree wholeheartedly. If your front yard happens to become a popular meeting space for the town, it doesn't change your rights to your yard. You can still ask anyone to leave for any reason. Google literally built all their infrastructure from the ground-up. It's theirs in the most direct sense of the word, and we should take an attitude of humble gratitude for their ongoing contributions to our wellbeing, rather then continue our attempts to punish them for their success.
It's been uneven. For example, before the clean air and water act the Cleveland River was on fire and you couldn't see through the smog in Los Angeles. Lately, Greenland announced the end of oil exploration, just one example of progress. We are learning as we go. We recently discovered the coral of The Great Barrier Reef is dying. I believe we will find solutions like we have in the past.
"I'm less worried about the police doing this than I am rogue nation, groups, and individuals."

Governments have killed exponentially more of their own people throughout history in genocides, pogroms, civil wars, starvations, and so on than have ever been killed by rogue nations, non-government groups or individuals.
Thank you too
Take what you support and imagine it used against you in the worst possible ways. Do you still support it? If yes, then it is worth supporting. If it's not, then maybe you're only supporting it because of who it currently helps or harms. This exercise also works with things that you don't support.
I love the ProtonDb comments but I am disgusted by the misleading tagging. Like a title marked Platinum will not work out of the box (need various workarounds like copying dlls around, custom flags) , Gold titles will often require custom Proton versions so is IMO an advanced feature, so who the hell is pushing this misleading labels and numbers is IMO making us the Linux users a bunch of dudes that we trick people to believe that things just work.

MBTs have standardized dimensions.

Trenches have flexible dimensions.

I brought up Russia to make the point that Israel isn't the only country that operates like this. But they are one of the countries that does and their reputation for it spans decades.
The specification you present is a bit unclear.

Any modern virtualization has very fast CPU virtualization (it's hard to say near-native, as there are always corner cases), and snapshotting tools. I don't know about Sharepoint; the "clone installs" is a bit fuzzy too, but one can clone installed systems by just copying the underlying image file and ensuring that it has a unique identifier (and updating the guest O/S license, if required).

If GPU matters, VFIO definitely is part of the solution.

However, if you're trying to achieve a sort-of full system passthrough (eg. because of drivers that have bugs related to certain hardware components, which it seems to be your situation), this will never happen, because certain parts of the guest need to be necessarily emulated (e.g. chipset). Even passing a USB port is not easy - one actually needs to pass the whole hubs (AFAIK a port may belong to two hubs - USB 2 and USB 3).
And then you are stuck at the will of that one company. My first roommate in a mountain town was not like by his manager, got fired and kicked out of company housing. Many people will take shelter in their cars in the national forrest for the summer. These mountain town workforces are essentially homeless, (well in many ways by choice) but these towns keep leveraging US public property for supplying land for camping, keeping wages lower than the housing and utility prices demand. Furthermore, how fun can a town full of transient vacationers really be if all the youths cant manage to go out or have a place to party.

That isn't how the ECHR works. They do not dictate the laws for all of Europe. They evaluate whether the individual governments are violating someone's human rights. Those countries can obviously still have their own laws on free speech that will vary.

In the US, journalists were long reluctant to discuss Gov surveillance abuses in any meaningful way - even when they were targeted.

Snowden basically dragged news orgs into reporting it. After that initial rush tho, reporting was largely muted. Most DoJ and other abuses were minimally covered if at all.

That improved somewhat during the next administration but authoritarian deference still seemed in play to me.
In addition, zig cc uses a remarkable compile+cache mechanism, which makes it possible to distribute a single build that can be used to cross-compile anything. It will cross-compile the necessary files as you need them, transparently - without downloading a new toolchain for each target, and quickly.

zig cc is really, really cool, and it's incredibly generous that it provides zig's benefits to users of C and C++ as well.
It’s early days for CoPilot, but I find myself wondering if it will eventually reduce idiomatic use of languages and increase the stickiness of old practices.

In the article, the author included this example:

alternate_word_mapping = {words[i]: words_in_english[i] for i in range(len(words))}

That line is probably more readable than the Pythonic enumerate:

alternate_word_mapping = {word: words_in_english[i] for i, word in enumerate(words)}

But it superficially reminded me of a style that I see on Leetcode, which rarely uses Python features like enumerate or dict.items.

CoPilot was trained on GitHub repos and many repos are mini-projects for learning a new language. Does that mean CoPilot will tend to suggest more generic, less language specific, implementations? If it does, will that change perceptions of what’s idiomatic? And will the volume of old code on GitHub influence CoPilot’s suggestions, making us slow to adopt new language features?

These towns are owned in many ways by Vail resorts. Economically and politically.
I'm fascinated by your comment. I'm making a few assumptions from the "CEO of midsized company" and "quick profits" plan that "worked out quite well" about you.

It's awesome to see that it worked for you but I think some of us (maybe the OP included) are still pursuing the "steady inflow that's big enough".
For me is quite concrete, getting rid of student loans and mortgage. At that point my monthly expenses would be sub-$1k, which makes pursuing something that fascinates me a lot more feasible.

Thus I come out with a critique and a question... It seems to me that the advice to work on something that "fascinates you" would be a stage two since there could be circumstance that do require just going for the money.

The question then is, how did you made it swimming with the big whales? Was is knowledge that you had/acquired as a CEO? I've been looking more and more into "boring business" as in, not innovative or trying to change the world, but instead capture some of the profit that some huge vendors/industries are already moving, you know, where 5 or 6 figures is petty cash, but I'm not really sure where to look.

Again, props to you on getting to a place that I'm hoping to get myself :-)
