Yes, and from users perspective I don't care. I find in eerie having the browser being an App platform.

Chrome and Android are very dominant platforms, if it is something groundbreaking that can be done in that model it would be done in Android and Chrome and Apple will adopt it. Google is not an underdog.
Is this a case of Cloudflare not honouring/forwarding the content-encoding header?

Maybe there is a limitation in the way their caching works that it cant differentiate between different encodings, and therefore just requests and caches the most commonly supported encoding?

Why would this be different over https? Why isn't https == http + s? When did that break, and why did we let it?

If we don't want doubly-compressed content (for security/superior compression/whatever), surely it should be up to the browser not to request that encoding, rather than baking it in at some other layer?

Depends. Maybe I throw everything away, write a new unit test for the true root cause, and start over from there. I’m comfortable taking very long journeys to reach very small code changes if that’s the best solution.
> at first thought, it makes sense why the IDF would be well equipped for such a mission

It almost always takes a nation (Like IDF) to collapse a building. Second thought would be they have no direct experience.

They are however prepared. And like most altruistic.
That is a delightful expression. I think if you told this to 5 people, there would be 5 different attitudes arising from it. I'm going to have to steal that!
> I suspect that developers are simply angry with Apple for not letting them to fiddle with the latest stuff that Google is experimenting with.

That is absolute bullshit. Browser push notifications have been out for years on other browsers (INCLUDING desktop Safari), and they are the one thing that Apple is dragging their feet on the most because they know it's the most important thing that prevents a dev from just doing a PWA and instead has to do a native app.

This is absolutely Apple protecting their App Store monopoly.
Honestly I find this use of Google maps to find military sites or concentration camps questionable.

However it is fairly obvious to me that the Chinese are going to expand their nuclear weapons arsenal until it matches that of the Americans.

The solution for this is for the Americans to have a smaller arsenal.

Marketing copy exaggerates a bit, film at 11.

You are right if they wanted to really push the limits of human perception they could develop custom printers or buy some machines used for physics experiments or integrated circuit fabrication or whatever and try to print at 1200+ pixels/inch.

Realistically, what they are doing is making full resolution prints on commercially available large-format photograph printers, with their effort going into tweaking the shaded relief algorithms and applying photoshop filters to boost local contrast.

Substack looks like blogging/newsletter plus Patreon (and probably some ancillary services - I read once that they would offer some kind of legal representation). I think this post errs in not bringing up the Patreon comparison. I'm unaware of any major media empires funded via Patreon, but it seems to provide enough of an income to support many YouTubers, podcasters, etc. I think only extreme news junkies would subscribe to more than one newspaper and maybe a few magazines, just as the post argues. But I think Patreon proves that there is a larger market for people directly subscribing to people's writing to support an individual creator's distinctive voice.

IE 6 for Windows was never the best browser. At that time Microsoft's own IE 5 for Mac was way better. It was written by a different team (including almost celebrity programmers like Tantek Çelik). It had way better support for CSS. It even supported PNG alpha transparency.
No, no, I don't have my passwords anywhere but in a paper notebook. And I don't have any other copies. That's what I meant by "my reckless behavior".

What percentage of people use a password manager? I think on iOS/macOS it's pretty high because Safari offers to save them, but what about non-technical users in general?

As to why I don't use a password manager, I think that the probability of some bug or hack or whatever of the password manager, which would lead to all my passwords being compromised, is greater than the probability of my house burning down.

Do I really want to trust Firefox with all my passwords? Do I really want to trust Google with all my passwords? (Fuck no!) Do I really want to trust some random password manager with all my passwords?

The smart thing to do, which I unfortunately don't, is to memorize a handful of passwords and use a password manager for the rest. E.g. remember bank password, use a password manager for Chipotle and Five Guys.

The Web Workers API allows your JS code to keep running in the background even when your site is not loaded in any tab. Sucking up battery life, tracking your IP, doing who knows what else.

That does not excuse Apple’s cavalier attitude towards bugs, but many of the APIs they refuse to implement deserve to die, like WebUSB or Bluetooth access, because of the privacy or security risks of weakening the browser sandbox. Has Google not learnt from the ActiveX fiasco?
With all respect to ZAKA, and I have a lot, they don't really have much to do with this unit. This unit is search and rescue (if possible). Zaka is "body (parts) collection"
The way this would likely end up being handled is the same as any other compliance.

You define the threat model for your application and then justify why you're safe. In this case we'd be adding an explicit point to ensure that there are controls for attackers who can exploit memory safety issues.

You could end up with controls like:

1. We sandbox our code, so even though it's C we feel that we're safe

2. We use a memory safe language to reduce the risk of memory safety issues

3. We sanitizer inputs before providing them to the program

etc etc

What ends up being accepted as legitimate would be up to the auditors/ generally a matter of consensus.
Substack expects me to agree to a long EULA before they will permit me to give them money. Seems crazy to me.
Apparently the NEWP toy used by Unisys to write their high secure profile OS is an aging grandpa language from 1961.

Apparently many airplanes get to fly in a toy language created around 1983.

hen apple should focus on improving the APIs to be privacy safe (how they successfully do in their own APIs).

If you follow some of the conversations on GitHub when a proposal comes up from Google, which I sometimes do, there’s no simple way to make some of these APIs private. And when Apple proposes ways to do so, Google balks at them because… their revenue is based on advertising that tracks users across the web. It’s not rocket science.

Remember, Google is the only company that ships a mainstream browser that doesn’t come with privacy settings by default. There’s no features in Chrome to block trackers or limit how 3rd party cookies are used unlike Safari, Firefox and Edge.

Apple’s market cap is around 2.5 trillion dollars; while they make revenue from apps, it’s a rounding error compared to their overall market cap or their iPhone revenue.

So as a staff eng you will have projects that you are leading but have cross team/org dependencies.

You have to get alignment with those teams and get projects on their roadmap/sprints so you can get unblocked.

But a lot of engineers think they can just ask cross-functional teams fit with but get surprised when things don’t happen. And that’s because other team is busy and not idling.

As a staff engineer you have to figure out how you can contribute to cross-team such that they agree to the problem, let you contribute to their code base, and help them unlock you.

Its a lot of championing and relationships building that is expected at staff level.

I hope that is useful
I had horrible experience with iTunes and iPod on Windows. It killed Apple for me.

My brother bought me iPod as a present, it was cool device, but I failed to upload music to it.

On normal MP3 players I just moved files onto the player and it just worked.

Apple on the other hand... I never figured out how to do it with iTunes, I still don't know.

Some years later after installing Ubuntu I had an idea of using Rhythmbox to try to put music on that failed iPod and that worked like a charm.

Ubuntu instillation was easier for me than iTunes.

Well, I never even thought about buying Apple device ever since.
For the record I do see what you're saying about my choice of language.

There is more to this. Mostly in (Swiss)German though, from 1988. Tags would be "Der Urzeit Code"

Some do experiment with that today, like this

[1] https://alainsprojects.com/the-primeval-code-der-urzeit-code...

I also remember news about chinese greenhouses experimenting with similar stuff, reporting good growth and much reduced need for pesti-/fungi-/whatever -zides, or none at all in the timeframe of the last 2 to 3 years.

It all resulted from research at Ciba-Geigy AG, Basel, Swiss now Novartis by Guido Ebner, thus also called "Ebner Effect".

Classic conspiracy material, because not usable for a company like that, so they stopped the research, and locked it away. (allegedly)

The researcher died meanwhile, but his sons have some patents, also selling this [2] https://fios-greenbox.net/

Can’t unsafe Rust (when properly isolated) exist within a larger codebase that, as a whole, can still be considered safe?
I have a hard time understanding your perspective but would be happy to listen and learn more about why you feel that way. Here are my thoughts:

Looking at his blog’s home page, most of the posts aren’t about downplaying the role of global warming in current events. In fact, the most recent post is about a new investigation he’s working on to see if wildfires sparked by thunderstorms will change with global warming.

I feel he is approximately a centrist scientist driving nuance, because these posts are just raw scientific analyses that support his very precisely stated claims and conclusions. For example with the recent PNW heatwave, he explicitly stated that global warming contributed to the heatwave (a few degrees to peak temperatures) but that it would have been a record breaking event even without global warming. That feels very nuanced to me, but he has been criticized for it nevertheless. The advocacy study he is critiquing actually determined the same thing (read the full study not their blog post) but they published a misleading and sensationalist headline on their blog that implied climate change played a major role in the heatwave, which then got recycled blindly by advocacy journalists. It is especially odd because their deeper findings actually agree almost fully with what Cliff Mass had been saying about this weather event all along (the nuance I mentioned above).

I’m certainly not claiming that Cliff Mass is some kind of perfect being, but it seems to me that in the face of very common biased/unsupported/hyperbolic climate news stories, an expert who is trying to seek the truth would naturally seem to be “downplaying” things regularly when they are simply stating an unbiased case the whole time. It seems like a purposeful downplaying just because there is so much bad pop science journalism/activism out there that disagrees with the actual science. At least that’s my take.
I hope it's clear that there's a major difference between a car being hit by an artillery shell (extremely rare) and a nation state attacker exploiting software (extremely common).

It's not just difficult things that are missing. For no apparent reason, Safari (stable, at least) does not support streaming WebAssembly at all. Apple will literally support Vorbis but only allow it in a proprietary container format. This is stupid as hell to the point where IIRC Wikimedia projects just have an ogg demuxer/vorbis decoder in JS to avoid having to special case Apple.

If Apple's goal isn't to stifle App Store competition, then its goal is most likely to ensure that all web developers have to own and use Apple products. In that regard, they're basically succeeding: you can't rent macOS VMs for short periods now, emulating iOS outside the simulator on Apple hardware is very limited and mostly only done by security researchers, Safari has not been available outside of Apple hardware for a long time, and Hackintosh has been beaten down for a long time. The most reasonable option, basically OSX-KVM, still won't get you GPU acceleration, and is a clear EULA violation on non-Apple hardware.

Their strategy becomes especially self-evident when you look at WebM support. Suddenly, Apple is supporting WebM in Safari... only on macOS, where they have no choice but to compete with other browser engines. I'm so fucking sick of this shit.

It's time to stop defending Apple simply because there's a perception that they're being a prick to Google. They're being pricks to us. If we needed a savior, I can tell you for sure that savior isn't Apple. Doubt it if you want, but salvation hasn't come and it is not coming. I'm not defending Google because they definitely earned their reputation, but this attitude of blind acceptance of shit Apple does because everyone wants retribution against Google is stupid. When Apple throws a shit fit over web standards (cough WGSL cough) the party that loses isn't Google, it's us. Apple is a behemoth company that has an inordinate amount of control over the web and web standards considering how much it doesn't seem to have the best interests of the web at heart.

This rant is brought to you by every single time my code written and tested in Firefox worked totally fine in Chrome and Edge, but not Safari. It feels like this is almost every single time I do anything non-trivial anymore.

I'd like to reiterate that I am not saying Safari should implement dumb crap like WebMIDI or WebBluetooth, nor am I saying that I have any problem with their privacy or security features. All of that is fine, but it's not any more heroic than Firefox which, for all its flaws, also does a lot of the same stuff.
Next thing, Facebook lures users into side-loading their app. The app won’t provide any warning about the complete mirroring of any user activity, just “stay in contact with your loved ones” and “ooh kittens”. Everyone will install it because of FOMO and network effect; and there goes your privacy.

Eventually also google, Amazon, anyone under the sun will do the same, just in case some aspect of your privacy is not captured.
The analogy is simple: back in the day devs got sick of IE because it was the one thing holding them back. You can make a site, easily, that looked beautiful on all the other major browsers, but because IE was outdated when it came to standards support, you had to basically spent all your time fighting with it.

Safari serves that role today. There are tons of things I'd love to do but can't because they're not supported on iOS Safari.
Tuxedo Computers does this.
I think you missed the point: they're going to be born and have to deal with reality in any case. There would be no possible consequence of a failed unit test.

> ideological position that they should be able to do anything with the device

While there are people who make this argument purely on ideological grounds (similar to arguments you hear about individual freedoms vs collective rights), it's essential to recognize that _completely_ removing the ability of independent developers to write and run software if the manufacturer has decided they don't like that developer will slowly destroy the competition, creativity and freedom that created most of the technologies that are used today.

It's reasonable to make the argument that the manufacturer needs to secure the devices that they sell, even for users with low technical literacy.

Advocating for the manufacturers to be given total control over everything that every user can do with their device won't guarantee increased security, but it certainly would result in manufacturers being able to disable any software they chose to, regardless of legitimacy, without reason or recourse.

That's a prospect that is (IMO) far more terrifying than what it could prevent (some users falling for certain types of phishing attacks that install spyware).
Meh. The single one AOSP application that I'd actually want natively on my Linux phone is the open source Hacker's Keyboard, to enable a full-sized PC keyboard on the touch screen. Everything else can be left to an emulation layer like Anbox.
Nope, Apple's Safari is the last stand (given it's market share, FF is miniscule) from the web standards becoming whatever Google likes...

It's not Safari which is outdated, it's standards that move too fast and come ad-hoc to Google's tastes.

And it's not even about the web anymore, it's all kinds of crap to make the browser a slower, duplicate of native functionality, app platform.
I was not responding to the Keynes quote, I was responding to this:

It is clearly not true anymore.

So, existence proof that facts can change.
At that time Microsoft's own IE 5 for Mac

Yes, it was better but it didn’t really count, as Apple just emerged from its near-death experience and Steve Jobs cut the deal with MSFT to make IE 5 the default browser for the Mac.

Apple’s marketshare was tiny back then and many people in the industry didn’t think Apple would be relevant much longer.

Ironically, after the 5-year deal had expired, Apple shipped Safari 1.0, which was better than the vaunted IE 5 for Mac.
Apple lets Facebook run on iOS.

Are forced to use it. And millions more would be forced to use it if Safari handed it on a plate as well...

It isn't. Human babies prioritize differently. We learn to understand language and to communicate before we learn to walk.

I've been following the build videos on YouTube because it's such an interesting project, but be warned he has a very.. particular style? I have to watch with the remote in hand so I can skip the crash zooms in on his face or inside mouth, the squealy 'self-reactions' (like laughing at your own joke, but for anything), etc.

It obviously doesn't bother everyone, and it's orthogonal to the really cool, interesting, hard, well-executed project. But I do wonder if it might be more popular/more viewed with.. just a little less personality!
Only thing I dont get: why not save / invest otherwise & buy there when youre "sure" youll use it? I think the norm is already to sell properties of 20 years later, realizing they wont or cant really be used and having quite large missed revenues due to it. Why e.g. have a huge house & use it 2 weeks a year max?
Yeah, because you pump your gas over the whole night at home — sure.

If 80% of cars of a house need to be charged in the morning because everybody uses it to go to work, and they use it during the day where else are they gonna charge it than at home and when else are they gonna charge it than after work?

Charging a EV takes longer than pumping gas which is why collisions are more likely. The whole thing might work if the charging stations auto-negotiate some compromise, and leave some cars uncharged or charge some cars less, but waking up and have your car not fully charged will ot be a rare occurance based on the physics of our existing infrastructure alone. You cannot draw more than 43 kW at once in the very typical example building (in fact it might be much less).

Also: everything upstream of those houses (cables, fuses, transformer stations, ...) assumes a certain load factor, running every single house near full load at once is not something that might be feasible, without digging open the street, exchanging that cable, transformer etc.
