Well, the iPhone 5s from 2013 got a security update earlier this year. It’s the first iPhone that supports LTE and the older networks are being turned off.
This is a textbook race condition where restrictive permissions are applied only after a file has been created with weak permissions. Bonus: you get a script to decrypt LUKS encrypted volumes.
It's only worth doing if it actually saves enough lives per $ to be better than the other things we could do with that money. For context, NICE currently only pays for treatments that give over 1 QALY per £30k because that's all the NHS budget can support. If those bars cost $500 and needed to be installed on five million trucks and only saved 20 lives on average across the country then that would be an extremely poor return on investment and the money should be put towards cancer screening or paying off the national debt or improved road signage or something.

Are they?

> they all say they transitioned to a third party app

Have they? Who asked?

Im inclined to believe a lot of these things. I used to work for a large network of forums in the late 00s. We had a lot of traffic but didnt require 2000 employees (literally only 5 dev to manage 250mil monthly pageviews). In all reality we might been reddit if we got lucky, but we didnt. Oh well. So, I tend to side with the users, but I do understand the behaviors in play. Im not trying to be argumentative just to blindly support reddit, but so many people are just throwing out stats as if they are correct with zero proof. Its almost impossible to have an honest conversation when the facts are being made up on the spot. This whole situation has become so emotional.
Cloudflare makes you use their DNS with the registrar so there's an incentive for them to keep it (bundling).
This choice doesn't really exist with Android either, unfortunately, for those who would like to have this freedom.

I mean you are kind of free to do whatever you want on your device, but then you just get locked out of basically everything. Banking apps, Netflix, reportedly even the McDonald's app will refuse to work on a device with an unlocked bootloader.

This is kind of ridiculous considering people with incredibly bug ridden computers can access the whole web but when it's mobile phones, apparently you don't get to decide.

As a social network, it might be worthless, but it's very useful for me as a searchable information trove. During the blackout I have been bitten by this many times, just searching for something and then getting a private reddit page. I think reddit's system works much better than the god-awful traditional forums, where the informational comments and the one-off replies have the same weight.
Modern software development is so detached from what makes software useful - getting it used. All the practices people have been preaching doesn't include the context that making sure the piece of code they written is getting used. It's like running a restaurant and all that people care is keeping the lightbulbs up.
Facebook trashed $30 B in a ‘metaverse’ nobody gives a shit about and forgot to add legs to avatars.

Twitter was sold off to Heil Musk.

Reddit after almost 20 years without turning a profit all of a sudden decided to monetise everything and is at war with their community.

Terrible tips for a C++ developer, part 6 (tips 26–30)
My home page turned into this at some point in the past, after which I unsubscribed from a bunch of dopamine based subs and subscribed to more substantial subs of my interest. That really helped, but over time the rot set in again as a few subs grew in size and turned into a meaningless dopamine fest (probably fuelled by karma hungry bots / farms).

Based on this experience I won't be surprised at all if your prediction became true. It is as if that's the natural end state and it requires constant effort (org, mods, community) to steer away from it.
The example somehow reminds me of proof carrying code. If you obtain memory in pcc, you also get a proof that the memory is valid. If you want to use the memory, you need to pass the proof as well. Finally, the proof must be disposed and the only function that can do that for memory is free. This can be done for the reminder example as well.
But then federated services operate on the level of a single subreddit, not that of reddit. That's fine, but they will never replace social networks (which unfortunately means we'll have to live with big corps running those).
Well, the iPhone from 2009 was an iPhone 3GS, it had a 320x480 screen, 256MB of RAM and only supported 3G - a networking standard that has been turned off by the major carriers.

You’re right, Apple should have made it so the cell radio supported wireless standards that didn’t even exist at the time.
This pivots from serverless applications hosting to... a database?

I mean just sell me on the wasm in the cloud premise, that's sounds awesome enough.

The k/v store angle is just confusing. If devs don't want to manage their Dev environment, you can spin one on any cloud. Especially serverless services, which are billed per api usage, are not going to break bank if each developer has it's own Dev backend ok the cloud.
is that backed by anything at all or just your imagination?

"The solution for this was incredibly simple. Reddit you want to charge for the API? Go right ahead, we all want you to make money. But when the volunteer labor you need in order to function started complaining because this is going to kill the modding tools they need - you should have immediately, like next day, apologized for the oversight and promised free API credits to them until you sort this out."

From the AMA by Reddit's CEO 6 days ago[1]:

Mod Tools

We know many communities rely on tools like RES, ContextMod, Toolbox, etc., and these tools will continue to have free access to the Data API.

NYT is an expert body on software development now?
Reddit (spez) created that "landed gentry"[1], and was more than happy with its existence until roughly two weeks ago. It is Reddit's policies, procedures, and practices which created a first-come, first serve, seniority-based moderator role. Not the volunteers who stepped up and assumed that role, uncompensated by Reddit.

1. Actual landed gentry labeling volunteer labour they'd cultivated and created as "landed gentry" has to go down as one of the most audacious rhetorical distractions of all time. Or at least the past week.

I just put a relatively thin layer on top of it.

Now, to address your point more directly: I'm too stupid to figure out configuration, but not too stupid to figure out code. Code gets compiled and type checked. You can have tests, etc. Tractability for code is much higher than configuration.

With configuration, you have to be really smart and keep many moving parts in your head.

With code, you can be a bit dumb and lean heavily on the tooling.
Bonds are much less risky too. So when interest rates were low, it made sense for investors to put money into companies because with bonds you got a tiny return guaranteed vs a high risk but potentially large payoff.

Now, bonds are guaranteeing a 5%+ return, so a non-profitable business is much less attractive as a proposition.
Is there any headset with a long focal distance? Even dumb glasses that simulate looking outside would be really useful in some work environments.
No. For mismanaging their relationships.

There's the aphorism that when you're using/buying a thing, it's always a relationship between you and other humans somewhere in the chain.

That has to be given hygiene and deference. Hygiene in keeping things healthy and in balance and deference in not trying to calcify some lording hierarchy.

If you bust either, your customers/users/whatever will be shopping around. There's other ways to fail but if you look at the most liked companies, you can basically rename that a list of companies that fuck up hygiene and deference the least.

So much user-generated content going to waste. Idiots at Reddit forgot who was responsible for everything that is in place today, and they forgot the unrewarded work and countless hours of time the moderators and everyone else put in.

This is going to be an upside down tumble, and we all know what happened to Tumblr.
MS is actually a mixed blessing, in that it's the one entity that companies will actually trust - once they sign a deal with appropriate provisions. In fact, Microsoft is renting access to OpenAPI models (including GPT-4 and GPT-4-32k) on Azure, at quite hefty premium, and the main (arguably only) selling point is that your company can get strong contractual guarantees wrt. data safety and confidentiality. It's the same deal as with Office and Outlook and SharePoint, etc. - without those strong, auditable guarantees, no large company or government would ever use those products.

Isotope's actual license page is much clearer than the article's summary:

> The open source license is designed for you to use Isotope to build open source and personal projects. The Isotope open source license is GPLv3. The GPLv3 has many terms, but the most important is how it is sticky when you distribute your work publicly. From the GPL FAQ:

>> If you release the modified version to the public in some way, the GPL requires you to make the modified source code available to the program's users, under the GPL.

> Releasing your project that uses Isotope under the GPLv3, in turn, requires your project to be licensed under the GPLv3. If you are okay with this, feel free to use Isotope under the GPLv3, without purchasing a commercial license.

https://isotope.metafizzy.co/license.html#open-source-licens...

Isotope's code is available under GPLv3 with no further restrictions. Although the page says that the project's use of GPLv3 is "designed for you to use Isotope to build open source and personal projects", it does not say that Isotope cannot be used for commercial projects under GPLv3.
Volunteer means they are doing good for the public, these morons aren’t paid and their only motivation there is to have that sense of power over other users to feel important.

I think the median mod deserves almost zero credit for "creating" the communities that they oversee. The welfare of the mods and the communities are usually not tightly intertwined, and scenarios where the mods are committed to destroying these communities should serve as a counterexample to this idea.

>Ownership of reddit/r/$name isn't a valuable quantity if the people who contribute react badly to replacing the people running the joint being replaced by management stooges.

The idea that Redditors had some sort of prior affection for moderators is laughable. At best this is just tribalism where a vocal minority of Redditors is so upset at spez that they're opportunistically creating a narrative of heroic moderators being oppressed by evil admins that's reminiscent of an inverted Ayn Rand story.

I've been paying a tiny amount to use Google Cloud because the handful of domains I control were registered with Google Domains, in turn because I trusted Google to run a good registrar.

Maybe there was no special reason to use Google Cloud DNS, or the other Google Cloud services I use, with Google Domains. It's been so long since I set this all up that I honestly can't remember. But I wouldn't be revisiting any of that but for this announcement that Google Domains is turning down. Now, in the process of finding a new registrar, I'm revisiting all of it.

I'm a tiny customer, less than a rounding error for Google. But this still seems like a strategic error to me. How much can it cost to run a domain registrar? How does this weigh against the goodwill and trust gained from maintaining an important service you've implicitly promised that you would maintain?

In my view reddit went down the gurgler years ago. The webapp is slow garbage now and I refuse to install any app because I have a feeling they are trying to extract user data.
Thats true. For system complex enough you will spend more time learning system than modifying it. Thats why all developers love to write new code and mostly hate to suport existing, working, legacy code.
I did and I will.

Don’t make it sound that Android is “iOS without walled garden”. I want ecosystem without bloat, that doesn’t spy on me and where I’m not the product that’s not the state of Android at the moment (unless you’re willing to bother with custom ROMs).

I’ve paid 1,5k for this thing and have every right to complain.
So chrome and gcp are not products somehow?
> I can purchase an iPhone and a developer account and find the same exploits I could if sideloading was enabled. The "obscurity" doesn't exist to begin with.

Obscurity DID exist - you said yourself that you have to get a developer account. That's a barrier to entry, which is defense in depth. Dev accounts are a tiny proportion of iOS users.

Also, if alternate app stores were permitted, any exploits discovered via sideload could be deployed at scale. By not having alternate app stores the risk is reduced.

As well, assuming no alternate app stores exist and you managed to deploy your 0-day in an app on the original App store, Apple could discover it and have the means to remove the app quickly to mitigate damage. If alternate app stores existed, it adds additional red tape to get the exploit app removed and potentially allowing more damage to occur.

Defense in depth matters.
If I remember correctly there are actual simulations of a 6502 (the CPU used in C64 and other machines of that time) around, e.g. there was one done in Javascript even. Simulation as in simulating all the gates of the actual chip, and you can follow the process of what is happening.

People have been recreating CPU parts and I think also full blown CPUs in Minecraft with this redstone stuff (and had to "de-pig" their machines). That runs at about the same level as the above simulation, sort of.

There is also no "black magic" to a 7400, but with just superficial knowledge there is no way to break through that wall, i.e. you will have to go down that rabbit hole for quite some time before all the puzzle pieces fall into place. Then you should also be able to recreate a full 7400 on a breadboard, however, it may not look 1:1, but by then you are able to say why.

What I wonder though: What do you hope to gain from that? These are "just" transistor circuits, you provide power, they are "ready". Yes, there are timings involved: Nothing is instant, power is ramped up, signal distribution takes time. There are many 8 bit CPUs/SoCs around, just grab one of the manuals, often they are split into 2, one aiming at the hardware side of things (voltages, currents, frequencies / timings, etc.), and one at the "logic" and how to program all the parts and pieces. One thing that is shared by all of them: A reset line or at least some reset timings for things to settle in the chip to a defined state, because, as noted, things are not instant. Afterwards the initial piece of software takes over.
That won't be the case forever, so what then?
I just don't see the appeal of this. I still need a screen and a keyboard to use it in desktop mode. Then I can just bring a laptop. My data is in the cloud and my settings sync - so the only way this could be "better" is that I don't have to buy a phone and a laptop I guess?
> Next, they'll hand over fan-built communities to the entities that own the IPs they're dedicated to. Eg. r/starwars to Disney, r/startrek to Viacom/Paramount, etc.

They have to be platinum ad partners in order to get their subs, of course. Just like how yelp extorts companies for reviews, reddit now extorts companies for comments.
> Those private APIs also mean Apple gets to play favorites with its own apps in a lot of ways, which they have.

While I shouldn’t be surprised, I’m always surprised that a technical audience brings up the “private APIs” bugaboo. Once you make an API public, you have to continue to support it warts and all. Apple should dog food their own stuff before they make it public.

On the other hand, do you expect Apple to make every API available to random developers?
I agree in general with most of his position.

One statement that fell outside of my agreement was him balking at how people leaving Reddit could cause it to crash. Fewer people should mean less load :O

That position reminds of me of the Simpsons episode where Homer runs for mayor. At a debate, Homer's opponent shows up late because someone cut his car's break lines, and Homer goes - "Well then you should have been here early!"

Any sufficiently large irregular site activity will cause issues. The people who are 'leaving' aren't being inactive. They're either disabling accounts, or disabling sub-reddits, all of which causes activity on the servers. It's absolutely to be expected that outages occur.

Subreddit mods abuse their power on the daily. 99.9% of the users just won't care about that as long as they're not the abused ones.

Which is the same spez bets on in the API / 3rd party app situation, which is kind of funny :)

Last time I checked, you need to explicitly go and enable it on Android.
If the best person for a job is a habitual liar who abuses and defames people that helped grow the company, maybe that job shouldn't exist. And somehow, I don't think the CEO's childish attitude is what even the investors hoped for.

It was mostly meant as a example of millions of operations even at a small scale. Sadly I have seen way too much accidental O(n^3) code and not all of it could be "fixed" trivially.

Big e-mail providers are actually worse, they usually go like "so, a neighbour of yours sent something that somehow triggered our anti-spam system ages ago, so fuck your messages and fuck you, 221 Bye!"

> I'm not sure why his appeal to authority should matter for most people.

The Right to Repair stuff gives him an interesting perspective on how big tech operates, which is relevant to the Reddit thing.
