I'm discussing the law, not an analogy.

It's a real system that was made in the United States. You don't have to be a company to be subject to the law.

If you make something in a country, it's subject to that country's laws.

Think about it: you're basically suggesting that if you call something "a protocol," somehow it's no longer subject to the rule of law.

We go through "well yeah but it's not a" every couple of years. The explanations given don't really change anything.

Silk Road wasn't a company, and yet it was subject to US law.

I see that I'm being downvoted again, even though I'm speaking politely in good faith. :(

The truth is, though, as far as I can see, this is legally correct.

You can't just sit in a country and ignore its laws and then say "well no, it's an internet thing, the laws don't apply." That isn't how countries work.

I can still remember a lot of my early code (and much of it is still running in some form 15 years later). As I’ve grown and gained more responsibility I spend a lot more time on concepts and design than on particulars, and I think that actually makes the particulars harder to remember. This is doubly true because I also spend less overall time building/iterating on those specific pieces. That plus the sheer number of things I work on in a given day, at this point I can forget code I wrote last week… but it doesn’t really matter because I know how to read it later if I want, and I can always build it again anyway.

Not sure "dead" is the right word (chuckle) but certainly shouldn't have attracted the kind of investment that it did. The basic premise is flawed: that grazing land can be turned into meat-like proteins without meat creatures. The aspirations were laudable (less cruelty, less GHG emissions, less water use) but the kinds of plants being used to make meat-substitutes just won't grow in enough quantity to replace meat. Turns out cows are pretty efficient after all.

The humans running the cows could use a lot of smartening up though. From genetics to supplemental feed they could do a lot to reduce emissions, and practices could reduce cruelty quite a bit, but things move slowly in Agriculture.

"Michael McCain, chief executive, told analysts last month that while the company had built a business model for plant-based meat assuming a radical shift in consumer behaviour, “this transformational outcome did not materialise”."

and also relying on a "radical shift in consumer behaviour" seems extremely risky. "Build it and they will come" is not a business strategy, it's a wish.

You cant really trust hardware for encryption. There are too many actors that opposing strong crypto. Apple can afford to do it because of scale and by leaving cloud backdoor, but PC hardware manufacturer cant.

Many countries and specifically authoritarian / totalitarian require certification of crypto for device to be sold on their markets. So it's easier for hardware manufacturers to either include none or just have single default option of possibly weak crypto.

I figured from the README that TUI probably stands for Text User Interface as it seems to support keystrokes in a way that an editor like Vi or Emacs work in a terminal (yeah I hadn't of it either, but I guess it is a retro acronym from GUI which is more well known)
This article made me realise why I use a python shell over a calculator app. It's nice to refer back to my previous computations and results. Several people here mention RPN; I work in tech, definitely understand stacks and get that I would be able to view my previous computations. Yet it's not something I took the time to discover, there were always other ways.

I've always believed that there is still a lot of low-hanging fruit left in crafting user friendly experiences for consumer facing applications. Who would have guessed this would be the case even in the design space of something as fundamental as calculators! ~20k paid users seems surprisingly large. But I'm not plugged into the app dev scene, so perhaps this isn't unusual.
It is easily made a hard error using -Werror, or you can even just make this an error if you don't want all warnings to be errors:

clang++ test.cc -std=c++17 -Werror=dangling-gsl.
test.cc:7:29: error: object backing the pointer will be
destroyed at the end of the full-expression [-Werror,-
Wdangling-gsl]
std::string_view sv = s + "World\n";
^~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is pretty standard in large codebases in any language to carefully choose sets of warnings and errors.

I do think Rust has lots to offer, but i think the eternal argument here about what the compiler lets you do vs not is not likely to be a winning one with the C++ developers you see who don't want to move over.

"Breaking all of their extensions with the depreciation of XUL" is one interpretation, another one is that it was needed (of course it was the correct choice!) and there wasn't going to be an easier approach than just ripping the band-aid off.

Thanks for all this. Articulating why it’s important in a few words is incredibly difficult and something we’re always working on. The bottom line is that we believe public information should be easily accessible; hundreds of thousands of people are using this data currently, all over the country. We’re trying to make their lives easier. I’ll take your feedback and use it to make our stuff better.

That said, if you head to https://pdap.io you’ll find the most concrete explanation we have. It still needs to be clearer, but it’s more specific than the docs.

>I've got macros to do automatic bounds checking. I've got RAII and stack traces. I've got structured concurrency, which will give the same capabilities as the Rust borrow checker if you adjust your coding style. And all this in portable C11.

You can do this all in C but it is an absolute nightmare. Every large C program grows some strange bespoke and incompatible versions of all that stuff at some point. And they're all a pain to use because none of it is idiomatic to the language. It's seriously awful. Things like the Linux kernel are the worst offenders. I will be happy when the C language finally reaches the end of its miserable, slow, agonizing death.

Many, many years ago I had an apple laptop that I took into a shop to get cleaned up and the fans replaced (it had gotten gunky and one of the fans would stop periodically).

Upon getting the laptop back, I got memory errors occasionally. When those memory errors became more common than coincidence could ascribe, my brother (more mechanically inclined than I) opened it up to check on the fan (maybe it was getting too hot again?) only to find that the memory had been replaced with 3rd party memory (this was the first time the laptop had been taken anywhere to get fixed).

Think back to the decade and more ago and all the fly by night phone and laptop repair places that existed.

I would be surprised if mine was a unique story.

And so, here's the question - how do you prevent a disreputable repair shop from swapping parts? If I hadn't had my brother open it up and look to see if the fans were gunking up again or loose wire or something, would I be blaming Apple for the memory errors on my laptop?

>If you're struggling with very common political theory terms used in a wholly conventional way, perhaps you should consult a dictionary instead of asking me to stand in for one.

Sounds like you're trying to dodge the issue, which is that politics lies on a spectrum and there isn't an obvious point between "wants more funding for cops and tighter border control" and "wants to round up and kill a particular ethnic group" that defines "right wing authoritarianism". Even if you were somehow able to come up with a principled definition, I doubt that it's something that most people would agree with, which means practically speaking all these phrases essentially boil down to "people with politics that I find too extreme".

Psychology is a pseudo science because it doesn't not make testable predictions.
There are legitimate issues with enabling pieces-and-parts repairs.

The first is that shoddy repairs or repairs with substandard parts screws the consumer and it does so with Apple's name on it. When someone buys a "New! (refurbished)" device from their favorite online marketplace and it comes with garbage components that break, it is a headache both for Apple when the customer comes to complain, and it's a PR headache for them when people think their phones are crap due to something completely out of their control.

The second is that there are significant security compromises that are facilitated by swapping parts from a stolen or secondhand phone.

The third is that phone theft is a serious issue, and the only way to solve it is to make stolen phones useless. Activation lock helped a good bit, but there was still a significant market for stolen phones to sell as parts. Phone theft was a huge issue in the early 2010s, but has seen significant declines due to this.

Unfortunately it's not a patch on Dash. I used to use it, but found too many cases where it was missing docsets and glitching on existing ones. It didn't handle different screen resolutions well. The Fedora package for it is often broken (I just installed it to see if things have improved & all I get is an empty window with an odd partial-width window title bar).

There's a gap in the market for a good cross-platform docs browser, preferably supporting user-added notes.

It's well defined safe to use a vector after a move:

Move constructor. Constructs the container with the contents of other using move semantics. Allocator is obtained by move-construction from the allocator belonging to other. After the move, other is guaranteed to be empty().

Which can be a useful property at times, but also means tooling won't help you here since it's not an obvious bug.

I've always wondered, why isn't it important here? Are security researchers just not looking?

Especially for networked games.
Really this just means that the implementation needs more work, not that the idea is wrong. With more secure hardware, you realistically could make stolen parts useless. Combined with the ability to track a turned off phone with the Find My network, theft keeps getting harder while the potential payout does not get any higher.

The main problem with after market parts is there is often not informed choice. These parts very frequently advertise themselves official or equivalent to official. With fake specs, fake labels, and fake brands. And then these phones get resold on to others who have no way of knowing that the reason their experience is compromised is due to fake parts.

Ideally Apple would present some kind of UI to the user which allows them to unregister the parts of their phone and allow them to be used in another phone for genuine swaps of owned devices. And allowing the installation of non genuine parts with some on boot message explaining exactly which parts are not genuine. So on sale the new owner knows what they are getting.
