I've got multiple vendors that have been selling largely the same VPN appliances for a decade, that are suddenly rebranding as Zero Trust vendors.

People have commented on the naming but I don't know if it's clear that it's not just a nitpick. It's breeding a situation where devices we moved away from years ago are becoming a topic people are suddenly asking us about for largely no reason.

Even in cases of lying UBO is useful for tying company structures together.

I remember first installing quicksilver years ago, and it really being a game changer. Probably 5 or so years ago (maybe more, yikes), I switched to spotlight after Apple improved it a bit. Every once in awhile I consider looking back though, mostly for the nostalgia.

Since this seems like a fairly separate concern, and it is a fair bit of maintenance, that is nice to outsource to the cloud.

> Note also that iMessage has a crypto backdoor maintained by Apple for the FBI

Describing iMessage as having an encryption back door is disingenuous at best. There's no known encryption back doors in iMessage. As far as can be determined iMessage is fully E2EE.

There is however a caveat that the unencrypted local messages backed up to iCloud can be turned over to LEAs/governments. This caveat holds for any unencrypted data synced to iCloud. It's no different than your e-mails sitting in your iCloud mail account. Disabling syncing of Messages with iCloud closes this hole.
Decent spacing between them though. Not oversubmitted by any means.

Consider whether Apple has changed their position about shipping key functionalities of their platform to non-Apple devices in the decade since then, in light of (for example) their purchase of and continued offerings of Android-friendly Beats products, their beta of Apple Music as a webpage in any browser, and their TV services app spreading to every smart television platform that competes with Apple TVs.

Nitpick, that's not an iMessage feature, but at "Messages" feature -- the app. The filtering applies to both iMessage and SMS.
So maybe I'm missing something but couldn't the algorithm as described lead to an infinite loop where some annoying thread insists on making black objects grey faster than the gc can turn them black again, so that the GC ends up not being able to make progress? I think the fix is that when a black object makes a new reference to a white object, instead of making the black object grey, it should make the white object grey.

Examples include the ACTIVE trial, commercial brain-training games (e.g., Neuroracer, Lumosity, and BrainHQ), and multidomain training programs (Binder et al., 2016; Buitenweg et al., 2017; Duyck & Op de Beeck, 2019). To date, none of these regimens have shown compelling evidence, or any evidence at all, of training-induced far transfer to either cognitive tests or real-life skills
>>

ACTIVE showed that cognitive training slowed decline in instrumental activities of daily living [1], and that adaptive computerized speed training in particular reduced at-fault car crashes [2], reduced depressive symptoms [3], and most importantly reduced the incidence of dementia [4]. The NIH is spending tens of millions of dollars on follow-up trials to extend the results.

To dismiss ACTIVE in the brief paragraph is...startling.

>>
We demonstrate that this optimism is due to the field neglecting the results of meta-analyses
>>

A strong statement from a paper that doesn't seem to cover multiple positive meta-analyses of cognitive training [5, for example].

In my view, if you read a lot of papers in this field (and I do), the pattern is that negative articles generally focus on working memory training and effects on IQ or "generalized cognitive ability" (whatever that is); and positive articles generally focus on neurocognitive measures and real-world functional measures. One reasonable interpretation [and there are many!] is that programs focused on using working memory techniques to improve IQ are not generally effective, and programs using speed/attention training to improve specific aspects of cognitive and real-world performance are effective.

Meanwhile, out in the clinical world, cognitive training is now recommended by clinical guidelines from the American Academy of Neurology and the World Health Organization, and offered as a benefit by a dozen Medicare Advantage plans around the country.

> I choose to not have spam on my phone. Several months ago I was subjected to a floodgate of good ol' fashioned SMS spam that lasted several weeks.

If Apple provides an anti-spam SMS filtering service it is completely orthogonal to how much they decide to handcuff their own users.

SMS is not a platform specific protocol and cell phone numbers have their own independent authority (however dysfunctional it may be). So unless you decide to block yourself from the entire world outside of Apple devices, it has nothing to do with being locked down. Locking down a platform from it's own users does not intrinsically benefit security or spam prevention, saying so is a false dichotomy, no matter how much Apple spins it.
BYOD support without having everything managed by the company is a pain point Apple and Google are trying to solve.

For Chrome, it will perform a very intrusive popup whenever you log into an extra Google account to get you to use a different profile. If you say yes, that new profile will be governed by the administrators without them gaining access to the entire Chrome browser.

For Android, there are 'Work Profiles'[0], however I haven't tried this and I wouldn't be surprised if it breaks fundamental parts of Android and/or it's disabled on certain OEM Android makers.

For iOS, User Enrollment[1] is a thing.

The main problems I see with these solutions is that they add a lot of complexity to MDM configurations, so chances are the organization will either go without MDM, or ask you to set up your device under full MDM. Under the second scenario I would suggest purchasing an extra phone just for work - this also helps with the possibility of an internal investigation, or even subpoena, asking for access to any phone with work data on it, as chances are they won't limit searches and data exports to data stored in your work profile.

Yes, exactly, thank you. Nobody used WebP, and then Chrome used WebP, and now everybody has to use WebP because of Chrome's dominance, regardless of whether there might be better alternatives out there. They're trying to do the same with WebM but Webkit has held out on that one so far (not sure if FF has).

And then you have Cloudflare doing crap like automatically reconverting JPEGs to WebPs so when you try to download a JPEG you can use anywhere you end up with a WebP you can pretty much only use in a browser.
We are working on revamping Quicksilver after a period of relative dormancy; I'm new to the project, but a long-time user.

We've made several releases over the last few months -- some new features I'm excited for include support for scripting in JXA (instead of just AppleScript), and I'm working on Swift support in the plugin template for those who (like me) don't know ObjC but want to build a plugin.

Thanks for the shout-out!
Google closed down their Jabber gateway because they couldn’t stop the endless flood of spam into their userbase. If they had instead required device identifier attestations to accompany all Jabber messages, they could have left that API open for everyone to use, and simply banned device identifiers used for spamming. I wish they’d done so, instead of just giving up and closing their doors to Jabber.

Are you really suggesting governments requiring those apps be banned from distribution in their jurisdictions shares the context of the post you're replying to?
No, that's exactly the opposite of what it does. The article above explicitly criticizes gin for not returning a value.

Echo is closer to the pattern described above, but:

1. Echo lets you return an error response, but doesn't let you customize how the error is rendered _in a modular way_. You can only have a single global custom error handler that decides how to serialize the errors, and it needs to have knowledge of how to properly serialize every kind of error in your app. I have to admit this is generally good enough for most of the apps, and I don't think you can do any better in Go, considering it doesn't have type classes like Rust.
The best that you can do is to let errors implement a CustomHttpRenderer interface on their own and try to cast into it — but this is already doable with a custom error renderer in Echo.

2. Echo doesn't let you return a non-error Response from the handler - instead it's written directly to the ReponseWriter. This approach makes writing unit tests several orders of magnitude harder and also means you can forget to write a successful response in some cases. You can also both write a response directly and return an error, which cannot result in a valid behavior (Echo will take the safe route and just ignore the error code and do nothing).
That's already what's happening.
