Native apps go through App Store review, and can be permanently banned for misuse for tracking purposes without express user consent.

Allowing more browser engines would require granting those engines your battery and gyroscope data in order for them to display per-site permission dialogs.

This problem is unique to browser engines and no other kind of app, as browser engines are uniquely the only kind of app that needs this sort of permissions-granting per-site passthrough.

Apple likely does not consider it interesting or relevant to their users to invest in validating the security models of third-party browser engines for their adherence to App Store standards, nor in providing a public API for third party engines to do so, and so closes off the entire problem space by refusing third-party engines altogether.

No no no, I meant privacy. Don't put words in my mouth.

If you live in a world where you can't trust any corporation, you might need to adjust your views a little bit.

Knowing full well that under capitalism the only goal of a corporation is to maximize profits, it doesn't mean it can't be trusted for certain purposes.

So far, for example, Apple has done nothing to lose my trust. It hasn't lost my data, it didn't have a significant break-in that compromised my data.
It provides amazing value to me. (And it sure uses FOSS on its servers)

FOSS in itself doesn't guarantee anything. You still need someone to operate the service, pay for bandwidth, storage, maintenance, power etc.

Other browsers are allowed, just not other browser engines. The reasons for this are technical, not arbitrary or business related. Google, Firefox, Brave et al still get the market advantages of having iOS users on their platforms, and they can and do ship their own unique browser interface features. That should count as competition.

I played with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 gamepass streaming. It was fine, games like that don't require fractions of a second response time, it looked like I was watching an interactive high compressed youtube video of the game set to medium, but the whole time I was going "Why don't I just play the prettier version on my PC?"

Some of that could have just been where you were leaving your phone plugged in all day. A lot of the issues with degradation (and swelling) are heat management rather than charge management. Modern phones have no fans or cooling loops and make the assumption that they move enough through the air over time (even just sitting in people's pockets/purses/cases) that the heat they radiate isn't radiated back at them. Sitting on a hard, slow to cool surface such as an average table at all times of day, the phone's heat may have nowhere to go.

It's useful to point this out in the context of EVs too: the EV batteries we've seen with the worst degradation had poor heat management (most model years of the Leaf up until recently, some early model years of Tesla's Model S); supercharging is an issue in battery degradation not just because of the rapid change in charge states but the rapid increase in heat released by the battery that has to be managed carefully (and away from the battery); EV batteries are expected to have longer lives and less degradation than phone batteries even of the same battery chemistry easily and simply because cars have the space for active heat management components (coolants, fans, heaters, etc) that phones have shaved in trade-off with more passive tools in order to maintain smaller pocket sizes.

I've got 2 devices, and the only downside has been needing to charge more often. Reasons I like it:

- Can keep the device for work in a secure place, never have to look for it

- Can call my personal phone when I have look for that :)

- Separate address books

- Do whatever I like with my personal phone, no worries about it affecting business

- Easy to "turn off" work

Meanwhile, as someone who is obese and is working on it, I absolutely do recommend CICO as the best tool we currently have. But it's strikingly similar to trying to get a homeless person to budget in that there are likely other things that need to be fixed first, we just don't know what they are.

Sounds kind of hopeless when you put it that way doesn’t it?

It kind of sounds like a self-defeating narrative. “We don’t know the answer, so let’s either 1) keep status quo or 2) try a bunch of silly things that only temporarily help at best”.

I used to eat a decent amount of sugar including daily soda. Ten years ago I got my blood test back that showed high triglycerides - 251. It was very high for me and I resolved to do something about it.

I went cold turkey on sugar. Stopped soda, stopped sweets, etc. I didn’t try to stop all sugar like what’s added to bread but other than that I was done.I explicitly did not replace it with artificial sweetener. Instead I tried to develop the mentality that sugar was poison and I simply didn’t eat it. Not as a temporary diet, but ever. Two things happened:

1) I had two weeks of horrible sugar cravings trying to drive me to eating sugar

2) Then the cravings stopped completely. Fruit started tasting amazing.

At my next physical, triglycerides were 113. Ten years later and they stay about 80. Haven’t had a soda in ten years. The thought of drinking a disgustingly syrupy soda disgusts me. It’s probably one of the reasons it’s stuck: if I kept the mentality that I was depriving myself my willpower would eventually give in. Instead I crave soda about as much as I crave eating a bowl full of grasshoppers.

Anyway, just giving my experience. YMMV, good luck on your path.
I had a similar experience. It was 3% counting raises for promotions. They could somewhat get away with it in a low inflation environment. Then again they had layoffs to cut costs even more.

Ironically they paid external consultants 3X the cost for skills they couldn’t keep internally.
Companies with these policies often end up in an uncomfortable position that they start lowering expectations to market. Over time this problem becomes bigger as the company can’t offer competitive wages anymore as the gap with existing employees is too large.

A startup that started 1-2% band adjustments in 2016 probably pays half the market rate for the same talent in 2022.
I think at this point the right thing to do would be for him to turn this down.
Honestly, I started Amazon with some kick ass managers and a great leadership team. However, that changed after a year or two and I ended up with some of the shittiest leaders I've had in the industry. I couldn't bail quick enough.
they don't hire junior engineers, and came up with the phrase "adequate performance will be given a generous severance"

they have a "keeper test" that they use to determine who gets a severance package: basically, if your manager wouldn't fight for you to stay if you hypothetically told them you were leaving, you're at risk.

they run the company like a professional sports team

there are multiple books about their culture - it's quite different from the standard many-leveled hierarchy with strict wage bands

Kind of off topic, but is now a good time to job hop? I'm approaching the 4 year mark at FAANG and I'm kind of ready to see what's out there, but given the economy and such, I can't tell if this would actually be extremely stupid.
I feel like your situation kicked up a fraud/loss prevention lockout. Your experience with low level support; nothing they can do about it at their level.

I don't know where you call home but in the US we have small claims court. Maximum penalties are in the region of $5000 but the nice thing is you can file yourself without a lawyer. This might kick it up the ladder to someone that could get this fixed. OR it could go really badly and have them double down on locking you out.

Hopefully you get the exposure here/twitter to get the right person involved in getting this solved.
They told me by phone follow reason of block: "you redeemed several gift cards too quickly and they all had different face value".
Actually, it was purely for using a gift card. We just don't know which one triggered this response. There's only one thing that put them over the edge: a gift card.

And what everybody here is saying is that gift cards are basically high-fraud, and it's unsurprising that using gift cards could get you banned. So what's the takeaway? As one user said, don't use gift cards at all. If that's what people are recommending, I don't see how the title could be considered click bait.

Liveblocks does support multiplayer undo/redo. We even wrote an interactive blog post about it: https://liveblocks.io/blog/how-to-build-undo-redo-in-a-multi...

Our open-source block-based text editor could support it too with some extra pluming (which we haven’t got to yet).

We’re planning to add this in as more and more developers are looking to port this experience into their own products.

Is there anything else you’d like this example to support?

Thanks for the feedback! :)
In the Twitter thread, it's $2k worth of gift cards, not two thousand individual cards.
I think you are right. From the context the issue was found using IBS, not that the 20 year old code was doing IBS.

The issue is a dummy op used to work around an issue in old hardware gets counted as C-State residency, and "A large C-State residency value can prime the cpuidle governor to recommend a deeper C-State". So this dummy op used during switching C States makes the CPU look more idle than it is, causing more low power mode than there should be.

This does not directly address your question, but it does really help with finding errors:

https://ctan.org/pkg/texfot?lang=en

texfot – Filter clutter from the output of a TEX run

The package provides a small Perl script to filter the online output from a TEX run, attempting to show only those messages which probably deserve some change in the source. The TEX invocation itself need not change.

I would highly suggest using it!
It's a seemingly rare case where the US terminology makes more sense than the rest of the world. In the US, a "fixed" mortgage is a fixed rate for the entire term of the loan (usually 30 years). Anything else is called an ARM (adjustable rate mortgage), even if it has a fixed component (e.g. a 5-year ARM has a fixed rate for 5 years and then becomes adjustable for the remainder of the term).

As I understand it, what the US considers a fixed rate mortgage simply doesn't exist in most countries, so it makes some amount of sense that the term "fixed" gets used for the next closest thing.
> isn't that whataboutism

Perhaps, but I find it deeply hypocritical for them to be attacking others when they behave nearly as badly as well (tell me how I can uninstall pocket, not just hide it).

> they're still massively better in every aspect than all of their competitors

"in every aspect" Not in power consumption on MacOS, and not in development tools, when compared to Chrome. Just to name two.

Plus, even if they were on top, being on top should never exclude them from criticism.

> are the only mobile browser that allows blocking ads

They are not, in particular on iOS. Safari, and by association all browsers on IOS, can block ads via content blockers.
A possible mod to add dynamics: shape the rear part of the "stick", the one being hit by the programmable pins, so that by inserting or extracting the pins from the rolling cylinder, the sticks can be raised to different extent emulating the hitting of a drum with different force when they're released. Dynamics makes a huge difference in making electronic drums sound more natural.

> They bundled Internet Explorer with Windows

Yeah... this wasn't what actually got them in trouble and is a gross oversimplification. They were actively working against Netscape by making other browsers *not work* on the OS. It also wasn't standards-compliant and had all sorts of proprietary tech (VBScript, JScript, OCX, and MSHTML) that would only work with their browser
Knowing the customer’s order history reduces the search space in most cases.
Since modern browsers should be named WebVMs and they consider OSes as a mere bootloader for the real third-party someone else computer OS (the modern web, named cloud) it's normal that some surveillance capitalism business who happen to be the aforementioned someone else computer OS for the masses do like their personal surveilled gardens...

The modern web is the issue and the proof that Xerox time Desktop systems were the best solution we have ever created.
Well it's not really that it lacks, but that it also doesn't have any compelling features (for the average user) to switch either.

I assume you mean ¤2000, and not 2000 cards. I suspect it's the number of cards that makes Apple suspicious, and not the total amount of value. Or at least, it's some combination of the two.
As a site administrator you can do some rules to allow for a leaner treatment of Tor (I think it is bundled as a country).

this is unfortunately the reality of Tor, your exit node traffic is shared with (potentially) bad actors.

The similarity with tor is that you can connect to any other computer via its public key, which corresponds to a .onion address.

If your computer's public key is xx73u2, then I can access it at https://xx73u2.onion/and/whatever/path/i/want, and tor handles all the encryption. From this perspective, anonymity comes as a bonus.

> The problem I have here is that the situation departs sharply from "guilt by association" to "willing and knowing partner in crime", where those crimes include rape, child trafficking, and worse.

I don't pretend to know what Edge has been up to, but this article doesn't actually pin anything like that on Edge. The case presented against Edge seems to boil down to these points:

1. Funded by Epstein.

2. Brockman once made a 'slightly lechy' remark about the authors body, is full of himself, and hangs out with billionaires.

3. A 'subset' of Edge members are right-wing.

4. Searle is a creepy sex pest, and not as smart as people say.

> The Edge nowhere carries any prominent mention, nor apology for, its associations with Epstein

This does seem like a red flag to me as well, but I can't rule out the mundane explanation that they're too embarrassed to apologize about it, thinking that would make them look guilty or give them bad SEO or something. I think they should put a denouncement of Epstein on their website, but I can't take their failure to do so as strong evidence of complicity. It could simply be misguided ass-covering. You're talking about Edge being a knowing and willing partner in rape and child trafficking, but strong allegations like that should be backed with stronger evidence than what has been given.
Latex is there and it works. People learn how to create their favorite macros and style files and once you have that you can mostly focus on the text. If you are interested in note taking you can try markdown with equations and when you need to publish or share with others you can convert the relevant parts to latex with pandoc or manually. Actually the process of transcribing notes may sound like a waste but helps rephrase and improve things catch errors or sloppy logic so it is good if you have to do it imho.
As others have mentioned, you can accomplish the equivalent by using a release build with pragmas to turn off optimizations in certain sections of code.
Normally, they will look at two years of stable(typically W2) income (Salary + RSUs) from one company before they make decisions.

What competition is "this brand of smartphone is stuck with Safari"? It's not competition if there are no advantages to be gained from the choices you make. If Safari were better than the competition, Apple wouldn't be so afraid of opening up the ecosystem.

Safari would still be big on iOS because it has some very useful features and integrations that the competition doesn't offer. Apple's pseudo-TOR and lockdown mode are just two examples from the top of my head of things the competition isn't putting too much effort into. Microsoft has super-duper secure mode, but I don't think Edge users really care.
> That's Mozilla Foundation, which doesn't produce a browser in the first place

Also the fundamental analysis of the article is that we need to have centralized control over decentralized networks (which they refer to as networks of trust and abuse audits), making the decentralized part inept. If you can no longer run a decentralized service without getting permission from a centralized authority, it's not really a decentralized service
There is absolutely nothing unprofessional about job hopping. Before I went full-time contractor I would get so mad that I dedicated my time and effort to BigCo and the new dev coming in is getting a way bigger salary than I. As a contractor I'm very satisfied with my rate, and when I start a new contract (6-9 months later) I make sure my rate increases. Do I need to be there for 2-4 years to understand the problem I was working on? No. I get hired to do a job. I do it. And then I go on my merry way. A lot of the engineering is essentially the same from shop to shop (except for some custom bash infrastrure) that I have specialized on a set technologies.
