Hm, just a few notes:

Progressive Web Apps are a Chrome-only thing by now, since Firefox has practically stripped support. (This was a somewhat experimental thing, anyways, and there are strong arguments, why users should be able to discern installed programs from external websites. You may argue that this makes much sense for Google, but isn't that desirable from an OS point of view.)

WebRTC: While it's true that Safari was lagging significantly regarding WebRTC Data, a basic implementation (for media) isn't exactly new.

Then, there is actually some leeway in the definition of some standards (e.g., storage) and it's not automatically clear that the way, Chrome does it, is the right one. (By the same argument, you may propose that typed arrays must be slower than normal ones, since this is how it had been in Chrome for several years.)

What's rather annoying for developers, on the other hand, is that Safari is following some common trends as propagated by Chrome. E.g., Safari has stripped its comprehensive list view of loaded sources, which had been quite a selling point.

Finally, yes, Safari has a much slower release cycle. However, if you care for compatibility and do not assume that everyone is driving the latest release of an evergreen browser, this shouldn't be much of an issue.
Id say they are probably about the same security wise, with iOS and Android having better security in different areas (for example arbitrary file write in iOS in an end user application generally doesn't results in RCE but it can in Android).

The old thought that open source is more secure doesn't seem to really hold as there are terrible bugs in nearly everything all the time.

It should also be noted that Apple is rewriting certain parts of iOS in safer languages as well (see blastdoor for messages as an example).
A while back I posted a picture to social media of the CDs I was listening to while cleaning. A friend responded "Don't you think it's time you digitize your music?" to which I could only say "...but CDs are digital..."

In a minor dev related way, projects where clients keep piliing on requirements during dev, that's a Columbo. Just one more thing...

I always think this is odd. If Safari is as dire as people say then why not just develop in Safari first? If your site works there then it’ll just work in Chrome/Firefox/Edge right?

According to Smithsonian Magazine, 1 in 4 cowboys were black. I suspect popular culture (movies) are what's to blame for this misconception. Many fled to the West after the Civil War to find work.

There already are Tesla Model S with 100 kWh battery packs and also many other cars with such a pack, so this should be a solved problem.

On the other hand, Tesla Model S consumes about double compared with what Mercedes claims for their future prototype, so there is where Mercedes hopes to improve over what already exists.
Safari isn't that. Old edge, IE, and FF are that. Safari is WAY closer to chrome than IE ever was.
> While it doesn’t sound like the automaker plans to release a production version of the vehicle, it did confirm that it will use it as a platform to develop its new electric architectures...

I knew it. What is it with these EVcompanies and their pre-announcements? Why do that? Why not just start talking about the damned thing when, you know, it's actually ready to test drive and buy? Is every car maker that desperate for attention?

Oh, that's right. Because these vehicles aren't necessities. They're fashion accessories. I totally forget this isn't about transportation. It's about buying the thing that makes you look good.
From a purely carbon-reducing standpoint, such people shouldn't get an EV until their house is already festooned with solar panels. The carbon saved by driving an EV is less than the carbon saved by putting solar panels on the roof. If there are no panels installed, that 50% EV in the driveway is just virtue signaling.

I've been using an app called PlantNet that works similarly.

Upload a photo, tell the app which part of the plant is in the photo (leaf, flower, fruit, bark), and it'll tell you what the plant is.

Highly recommended as well, almost always identifies the plant with just one photo. I'll have to check out flora incognita sometime.
There must be some laws against doing this stuff in the US? In the uk we have 'perverting the course of justice'.
I doubt it. Real people, especially parents with children, like to be able to store stuff in their cars. They don't want to deal with waiting, or dirty cars used by random other people.
At least, right? Even among the families regularly taking regular 100+-mile trips I doubt many of them take both cars.
Would it be possible to train the model to identify the features and then just have it run those through a trie of plant classifications? Trying to bake classifications into the model does seem silly but you still need an element of computer vision if you want to do this.
The deep fake one looks very weird to me. The mouth is sometimes not closed and there is minimal movement on the upper lip on words that would need more.

mainframes have hardware designed for very high IO speeds, they have no real advantage in cpu speed, but they can keep it fed with data far better than x86 servers which is what you want if you are reading millions of records off disk doing some fairly trivial calculations like adding interest and writing them back.

These days if you can parallelise those calculations the price benefits of servers are worth the software complexity.

One example where it shows that the actor doesn't just provide a face, but, well,the acting, is back to the Future. Originally they had wanted to cast Michael J Fox, but he wasn't available. So they picked a different actor. And that actor didn't get that the movie was supposed to be fun. They shot several weeks with this actor who was turning the movie into something very serious, being terrified by being transplanted into the past, and finding it tragic to come back to a present where everything is different.

Theres a good documentary about this [1], that talks about replacing that actor, and when Fox comes on set and delivers the first line filmed ("You put a time machine... In a DeLorean?!"), it's hilarious, night and day difference.

I believe range is important for a lot of people because if they live somewhere like an apartment where they can’t charge easily or at all then they are going to have to go to a station somewhere. Very inconvenient if you have to do that everyday instead of once a week.
One word: Marketing.

Now there's an entire thread on HN talking about Mercedes. Job accomplished.
Already done for (high-end) photo cameras.

But why store the signature in a blockchain? If you do not trust the certificates in the first place, the storage location won't make any difference. And if you trust the certificates, the storage location is completely irrelevant. Because the certificates alone provide the trust.

Israeli settlers regularly steal Palestinian lands and homes.
Israeli military regularly demolishes Palestinian homes.
Israeli snipers kill Palestinian children with sniper rifles, sometimes while comrades are cheering.
Israeli drones kill Palestinian children playing soccer on the beach.

The Israeli army wants us to not believe our eyes when we see the destruction of civilian buildings [1]. They want us to pretend like its normal for snipers to cheer when they shoot unarmed civilians [2]. They want us to pretend like its normal to fire missiles at children playing on the beach [3].

I wonder, what is that makes you dehumanize Palestinians and present such a skewed picture of what happens to Palestinians?
> They want a "market of ideas", and only standardize the ideas that win out.

In practice this means Chrome implements an idea and the idea "wins out" because Chrome does it, until Chrome does a new idea.
> The Israeli military said the structures had been built illegally.

Is not the job of the army to declare what is legal or illegal in a democracy. Countries have a judicature system for that.

A bomb destroying your home with one minute warning is not equivalent to a court order, and can't replace it. Would be seen in any real democracy with a minimum respect by the rule of law as a ridiculously illegal move (and severely prosecuted).
Think: opposite of general-purpose operating systems use-cases. Very IO/compute/latency-intensive things. Where the whole programming paradigms are designed around efficient (even real-time) compute. Where the software+hardware pair are written once and rarely if ever changed, restarted, or taken down for maintenance. Credit card transaction processing and airline reservation systems for example.

Of course you could use Linux or similar for such jobs, but highly specialized hardware+software pairings can eke out surprising performance at the cost of massive hardware and software-engineering bills.
I tend to agree. You should take the disease seriously, but I don't think lockdowns are justified. This will ruin a lot of businesses and people. If you are afraid of getting infected, you have the option to stay home.

There is problem why no politician will handle it like this. The media for once and opportunists against you will use it to accuse you of subjecting everyone to risk.

By numbers, it is a serious disease, but the reply was out of proportion, the handling hysterical and the readiness to sacrifice liberties very frightening. It paints quite the unstable picture of our political landscapes.
There's a link to a video with a computer animated simulation of the ride as well, on the bottom of the page.

Link to video in question:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEklVDlqwbQ

The video is definitely worth checking out as well, to get a sense of what it would look like in real life. The video alternates between first person point of view from one of the passenger seats and third person point of view looking at the coaster from the outside, as well as some panning shots.

The video is accompanied by Oxygène by Jean Michel Jarre. And I think it's a suitable song for such a ride. Listening to that music while watching the video, they feel like they go together nicely.
That's great, but the USA is an entirely different story.

> If you truly need to drive for 7 or 8 hours (400-500 miles at 60) without any kind of significant breaks on a regular basis, then I'd argue that you are probably taking quite a risk to your safety (and those around you - both inside and outside your car) due to tiredness.

I've done 350~ mile trips pretty often (about 5 1/2-6 hours) and I usually only stop for 10-15 min to go to the bathroom and fuel up. Driving for a few more hours isn't really that bad, and very common in countries with 10x the square mileage of yours.
Further to this, Apple auditing that Uber is not abusing this permission is pretty easy: they could reasonably have Apple engineers embedded in the team at Uber – something that would make sense for the scale, Uber is a US company, based in CA, so dealing with it in court would be possible and a fairly well-defined process, Apple could even have engineers trace the application properly during App Store review to check what it was doing at runtime, or put very stringent requirements on _how_ the entitlement was used at the code level to make it easier for them to enforce usage.

None of that scales to the millions of developers they have on their platform, but for such a key application, for essentially marketing purposes for the Apple Watch product launch, sure.
i mean, it's quite qualitative at this point. this is not well understood yet. hopefully, in the coming years, there will be more data on the same.

Despite getting free transfers (UK), I prefer middlemen.

I've had one transfer via Revolut, it was significantly more effort than I'd expected, but I'd do it again if explicitly asked for.

General security advice is to not share your bank details. I'd rather take the hit from PayPal fees or someone not donating rather than worrying about fraud. [0] for example.

Patreon (etc..) is recurring revenue, which builds confidence that what you're doing is sustainable long-term. When an OSS project opens for donations, it typically has an established userbase. The first "ask" will bring a comparatively large amount of money compared to the next "ask", and it raises the question of whether one-time donations will dwindle to zero. Recurring revenue hedges against that (and also allows more community building).

I'm arguing that bringing up that 0.1% of the population is starving isn't a relevant point in regard to how much population we can actually feed. It was an answer to your original comment.

Your answer is derailing the discussion to a moral debate about the worth of lifes.
The unit is already km. So correct would be 1 Mm (1 mega meter). 1k km is confusing. 1000 km is much better.
> There already are Tesla Model S with 100 kWh battery packs and also many other cars with such a pack, so this should be a solved problem.

And models S is a full sized sedan, not a compact car by any extend.
IOMobileFramebuffer is a massive driver (or rather collection of drivers). These days most of the code runs on a coprocessor called DCP, which I am reverse engineering. The firmware on M1 Macs is 7MB. 7MB to put pixels on screens (this does not include the GPU/rendering).

Display controllers are complicated (and Apple ones are especially so, with all their fancy features).
> If you start occasionally holding your baby up by the thighs when they are 4–5 months...

Except 0% of customers understand how PWAs work on mobile devices, 10% of webdevs understand how to make actually performant Apps, and 100% of execs think that using a PWA means their desktop site should be their mobile app (without realizing that, often times, your mobile UX likely has a vastly different context.)

Double take moment, used to work for Xero during uni ~5 years ago in Auckland.

Great people and company to work for, since then they've continued to grow massively and everyone I worked with then is now team/country/region lead.

Fingers crossed they're back up and running soon.
I agree however allowing any company regardless of its business the opportunity to escape liability of consequences is dangerous. Pharma companies have in the past and will continue to have their scandals same as any other industry. There shouldn’t be exceptions. Who gets to define what industry is important or not and therefore avoids regulation is dangerous as it’s only as reliable as the “who’s” in control.
Thank you for sharing your experience.

My sister's family actually lives in Germany so they are somewhat familiar with the US retail brokerages and in turn I am familiar with the German ones, namely Trade Republic and flatex, only 2 to choose from :)

So regarding trading stocks on Trade Republic, you get a super wide bid-ask spread that is unheard of in the US.. They route their trades through a Hamburg-based market maker called Lang & Schwarz, and try to make as much as they can on stocks(!) PFOF.

Regarding the derivatives, they don't offer options at all!! What they do offer is called "optionsscheine" which is not an option but a warrant, created by some investment bank like Deutsche or Commerz. Apart from a very real counterparty risk compared to options, they are quite expensive. And yes, you cannot "go short" with this optionsscheine, only long. So no verticals or diagonal option trades. Below is the link if someone wants to learn more about investing in these "optionsscheine":

https://www.globalinvestorgroup.com/articles/3695830/europea...

Please, don't get me wrong, I am not mocking Germany and I do respect German ppl, I just think that retail brokerages there suck bigly due to the lack of competition and a severe red tape. Would be glad to hear your counter-arguments.
Interestingly they've been shrinking their byline font size throughout the years.
>but the location I’m assuming is pretty darn accurate.

I remember reading about a similar technology used by soldiers in Afghanistan to find snipers, but Afghanistan is largely an open area. I don't see how it would be accurate when the acoustics of multiple buildings are in effect.
yes, GDAL :-)
To the people complaining that what you see is no longer believable: there is a way out: signatures. It is time to start pressuring public people to digitally sign whatever they say.

Not specifically about the article, but this applies to any X where you get a conclusion like: "Everyone owns X"

For those who currently care about X and they don't get enough support in their organisation, it makes perfect sense. For the rest, nothing needs to change. After all those other guys should have it.

The article issues hypothetical directives "Include all teams in testing", without any consideration as to what kind of activity might make this feasible. All teams simply reply "no thank you". And it's back to square one.

To be clear, I am not saying these suggestions are wrong. Just naive.
As long as everyone wants their information for free, this will be just another layer of icing on the cake of misinformation.

Good, clean, and reliable information is expensive and needs a fair bit of work. I can see why most people have forgotten that but it might come back them and then this will be way less of a problem.
Is it just one developer or a team (collaborators) of people?
agreed. The virtues of pair/team programming really took a hold for my team when WFH forced us to do screen-sharing rather than just sitting next to each other.

Now, we regularly do screen-sharing for development and demos, with the process of screen-sharing being as normal a part of our development cycle as pull-requests.
So deep fakes are a great start toward a defense against an increasingly coercive government? I'm even more confused now.
So not keeping up to users expectations - no matter how much - makes a failure?

I think your argumentation is flawed. If your server+consumer app combo can do that, do that
It basically boils down to: use as little third-party services/code as possible. Because vetting them is expensive and error prone (usually not enough insights to confidently judge). Prefer code over services.
My first professional dev job was COBOL and it's associated tech, a majority of the stuff we did was banking stuff and at the time it seemed like that's what a majority of the COBOL market took up but I could be wrong
To be fair, polygraph tests aren't admissible as evidence in court, but I completely agree with your larger point. You also left out drug sniffing dogs, which are just a prop for the justification of an otherwise illegal search, and apparently drug sniffing cops too. There was recently a case where a cop claimed in court to have smelled unburned pot from several cars away while driving on the interstate. This was fortunately thrown out but it's not guaranteed.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've had to ignore every PUA detection in the book. They're completely useless, especially if you pirate Microsoft stuff or use "hacking tools" like netcat.

I'm not defending the behaviour, it's incredibly stupid, but it might have caught some legitimate malware in some cases where Defender itself was unable to detect the actual malicious portion.
If enough developers start removing features for Safari this could actually have an impact. I would consider this even if it would harm the bottom line of my business. Simply because it removes stress and frustration in the development process.
Your argument about tiredness is how we end up down the slippery slope every single time with government regulating away our rights. Human freedom is more important than being safe 100% of the time, whether your assertion is true or untrue.

I don't need anyone telling me I'm being unsafe and then restricting my freedoms because of that.

I'm looking forward to my upcoming beach vacation where I will drive 6.5 hours without many breaks, and it'll be as uninteresting to do so as spending those 6.5 hours doing anything else.

A fundamental aspect to it is that so many lawmakers are lawyers (especially ALL of the democrats) so that the burden of paperwork seems entirely different to them that it does to other people.

If we had to do it all again we might have a bicameral legislature where there is a house of lawyers (who do have some qualification to write law) and a how of non-lawyers (who have some empathy with the rest of us.)
But that bat is miles away from the Alf character, so it's still missing an explanation of why it counts as a collision. (Plus, that section "But why is the bat there?", doesn't appear to answer that question.)
That’s a fair point — it would help drive adoption to get more apartment complexes to get charging stations set up, I imagine.
