Maybe operating on the "easier to ask forgiveness than permission" principle?

I think landlords have to give you notice before entering your unit in most areas.

Swapping locks is maybe a ten minute job (probably less if you've done it a lot).

There's nothing to stop a tenant from swapping out the locks, then swapping the landlord's locks back in before a scheduled visit.
> The same place you expect to find it when you outlaw food wrapped in plastic. It's not going to disappear until people stop buying it.

People aren't going to stop buying it as long as it's the only option!

> You can create a law to remind you to not buy food wrapped in plastic,

It's not about reminding you not to buy, it's about banning people from selling.
You know, as they already do for dangerous stuff like Kinder Suprise in the US…

> or you can just not buy food wrapped in plastic.

You cannot because nobody is selling it.

> If you're suggesting that the population isn't on board, then a democratic government would never create such a law in the first place. It would not be the will of the people.

The population is on board, but population-wide synchronization don't happen for free you know. Here's a fun example: here in Europe the majority of people is against daylight saving time. Yet there is one. That's stupid you'd say, because they could actually collectively decide not to change their clocks' time and call it a day, DST is gone. But in fact, doing so would require an enormous amount of coordination, and this kind of amount of coordination is the exact reason why we've created the State in the first place! And it's actually its only power! (armed force: literally started as just a well synchronized militia, same for law enforcement, collecting taxes: just make sure to get a big enough group to raid the house of the people who refuse to pay, etc.)
I'm not disagreeing with what you're saying but your comment is the one that's not in reality. Yours is a hypothetical since it's not happening, and maybe not possible.
Yeah exactly, for some of us this is a feature not a bug. And I say this as a customer that also supports open source software. Yes it's possible to support both.

Like damn, what if I intend to build this ecosystem from the outset, does that mean as soon as it reaches critical mass the government is going to come in and dismantle it? It's bullshit. This is essentially saying you're not allowed to build ecosystems.

Consumer products don't demand the same flexibility in this regard that enterprise products do. This is just other companies crying that they want a slice of the pie.
It isn’t a sure thing. Just, since it is a more open ecosystem, maybe the designers of chips that need to be able to safely run untrusted code can still borrow some features from the general population.

I think it is basically impossible to run untrusted code safely or to build sand-proof sandboxes, but I thought the rest of my post was too pessimistic.
If you pry up the pavement on the way to hell, you'll find good intentions underneath. Trust whoever you want, but don't turn around and make claims you're unwilling to defend. The security Apple offers is far from unconditional - the plethora of iPhone-related data leaks is a dead horse well-beaten on this site.

For your safety, I hope the government looks out for you. Because nobody else is going to do your due diligence, evidently not even yourself.
I think this isn't controversial on the tech side, but on the business side it is absolutely 100% more important to deeply understand the business and build a meaningful, useful network than it is to half-ass your way on the tech side. As careers advance in business, doors to new opportunities open primarily based on one's reputation & network, so it pays dividends to focus on cultivating those starting as early as possible. "Managing up" should not be an epithet, but a way of life.
Does it really matter? AI will generate the images or video according to the introduces prompts so the creativity falls in the one entering them, you could be an excellent piano player but that doesn’t make you a composer.
I meant instead of casting the vtable pointer and guessing the layout (imagine doing that in a large codebase...), just define the struct yourself and disallow the virtual functions in this case specifically if you're chasing the performance that badly.
Right, but maybe OP has some more exotic method of shorting the company. Otherwise I'm not sure why they are patting themselves on the back for having risked nothing and gained nothing.
Is there a wave of people being hacked with full remote access to their phones due to shoddy Android banking apps?
> This feels like it reflects similar actions taken against companies that are dominant in a market.

Maybe they should be. Our societies are ostensibly consumer-centric. It's about time our laws and organisations strongly sided with consumers against any opposition, especially against business.
Sorry, as European I don't understand how anyone can be team Red nowadays. I have respect for conservative viewpoint but Republican party got overtaken by very dangerous and at the same time stupid people. Democratic party might be corrupt and maybe focusing on wrong things but they are not trying to destroy democracy and outlaw human beings.

Since Reddit demographics is mostly young and educated, no wonder it's leaning Blue.

(The amount of tankie delusion on Reddit baffles me as well though)
If you don't have 30$ a month your not going to have a good time developing iOS apps. At a minimum you need to stay up to date with devices ( I'd argue upgrade every 2 years or so ).
Exactly. Most people would rather use the best app for the niche thing they want to do rather than the shittier version from some mega-app they happen to have for some other reason.

Current amount of SEO spam is nowhere near the 2007 levels, when the entire first page of Google results was your search query with stuff like "xxx", "2007 crack", or "download free" attached to it.

>If you want to know how to solve a puzzle or compare two characters or something, it is almost guaranteed that you will come across pages of search results that seem like generated content

This kind of content was never genuine. It was always low effort trash made to cheat search engines. It was either outsourced to copywriters regurgitating the same content over and over, or automatically generated when possible. Automating it with LLMs simply made it obvious.

Amazon book scams is the age-old tradition at this point, it exists for well over a decade and is a result of Amazon not willing to spend even one cent on manual curation.

OP might have a point, but it's still mostly typical microblogging ragebait with unrelated stuff mixed in.
Am I the only developer, working for corporation that is using other mega corp's cloud, using redis personally and at work - who sees this as good news?

This change means that cloud providers will have to share premium they're charging customers for offering redis as cloud service.

Developers still have access to source code, you can use it personally and for commercial products, you can use it on your cloud VMs, dockers, k8s etc. as before.

The only affected parties are competing cloud providers - they'll have to share their premium.

What's wrong with that?

Sounds like solid way to build sustainable business around open code.

Also putting together all this other stuff into single package (JSON, vector, probabilistic and time-series) sounds great!

Awesome, this is the main piece of puzzle I (or rather: my wife) miss from Nextcloud (the default Photos has terrible performance and lacks some features). Gonna set it up. Also nice to see Face Recognition app is used. Now I'm gonna have to edit my docker-compose.yml for the dependencies but that is fine.

Also, I've been trying Photoprism and also I tried Immich in past. They have disadvantages: they don't sync with whatever got uploaded to Nextcloud and they either do not have a mobile front-end or it is some web app. They also have stability issues, though I had most success with Photoprism.

I suppose it won't be as useful to me as it could be as I'm stripping all EXIF data from any photo uploaded by Nextcloud because I fear my wife stupidly just shares whatever when she should not. Yes, I know you can do OSINT analysis anyway, but that is a skill as of yet.
Also Matrix.
I ran into this today while searching for a way to merge channels in Slack. A google search turned up this result https://www.process.st/how-to/merge-channels-in-slack/ which describes an in-app method that does not exist.

That entire website should be banned from Google.
And it requires a different return that needs to be filed a month earlier.
> IOS makes warning messages for other developer apps, but none for their own apps.

This is not true. Apple's own apps, like the Weather widget, will display location permission "nag" screens occasionally just like third-party apps do.

> ... but not a message on the same access from apple maps or apple photos.

Apple Maps doesn't use your location in the background. It only uses your location while the app is open, or while you're actively navigating using it.

Apple Photos is your photos. It'd be weird to warn the user that it "has access" to itself.
No, but after having checked it looks like prices have dropped but also go up and down so word is still out if they keep dropping on scale or if it's just stock price shenanigans.

Is it naive to ask whether implementing this mitigation would impact performance and memory interaction speed?
I think Paul's right in the sense that reddit seems to thrive as a community when the smallest amount of effort is put into running it. The series of leadership horror shows that all mostly left the site alone demonstrates that.

The recent very active moves to clean the site up and prep for this IPO have had a detrimental community effect in the sense of disgruntlement, but I would wager have been excellent in making the site more palatable as a business.

Virtually none of the reddit-alternatives that all spun up in the wake of this mop job have taken off. So assuming our gut feeling is right that reddit engagement is down, then overall engagement on all reddits is down and users have entirely moved to other social media styles entirely.

There's the other angle on this, that engagement is down, but it was calculated to get rid of mostly users who cost reddit things, or are of an undesirable user population (troublesome, illegal, etc.) And what's left is mostly a user class that maximizes the monetary value that can be harvested.

There are huge and obvious areas where reddit can better monetize the site if they wished, and I would guess that it's going to happen. Reddit has a very long history of doing a bunch of different experiments with the site, and an influx of investment to properly analyze and then monetize the more successful ones is my guess as to what's going to happen. The recent drive to vacuum up and sell data to LLM companies is serendipitous icing right now.

There's also the huge opening that's happening right now with Twitter, where with a few chess moves, Reddit could very easily turn into or pick up the population of exTwitter users who find the current ownership trends so toxic they don't want to be associated with it any longer, but don't have a platform with a built in non-friends public sphere to turn to -- which is why Facebook hasn't been able to really tap into that market gap.

I understand them quite well. I would say I probably understand them better than OP.
Unfortunately not for nested inline nodes, like spans of text with formatting. For a lot of uses, that will be OK - but for rendering say, markdown text, Satori won't work.

The upstream layout engine handles flexbox layout, and it's unclear if Facebook needs inline layout or if Vercel would pick it up and close the gap:
https://github.com/facebook/yoga

Then again, for the main purpose Satori is advertised for - generating URL unfurl previews - Dropflow looks like it might be the answer.
Whats interesting that most of iphone users i know (eastern europe), doesnt use iMessage at all or only for sms type of messaging only and for rich messaging we use whatsapp, messenger, telegram, signal, slack, discord, viber (?) and my almost first / only question question over sms (imessage) always is- do you have whatsapp?

apparently its different in states.
I don't think it's a secret that most returns end up in landfills or recycling. Do any of the big online stores even claim otherwise, that returned stuff goes back on the shelves?

https://www.bbcearth.com/news/your-brand-new-returns-end-up-...

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/marketplace-amazon-returns-1....

So what this appears to do is just make it more convenient to send stuff to the landfill. When are we starting to charge people for externalities they cause?! Sorry but it's hard to see how this is a good thing for anyone other than the people who clearly don't care about the waste they produce, resources they waste and how it harms the planet.
Do those users actually exist, thought?

Broadcom is able to screw over its customers because they have to choose between either reworking a core part of their infrastructure, running legacy code without support (provided you have a perpetual license), or paying a huge license fee. With Redis, the current version is already open-source: you can maintain it yourself, switch to a drop-in replacement community fork, or pay one of the dozens of SaaS companies to run it for you. Switching away from the official Redis flavor can be as simple as a one-line change in your infrastructure recipe. If they increase their prices, why would anyone stay?

I think MySQL is probably a better comparison. After Oracle's acquisition they have been trying quite hard to add vendor lock-in and extract money out of it, but these days MariaDB has essentially made it completely irrelevant. I wouldn't be surprised if the future of Redis looked quite similar.
This is why I won't get a phone that isn't supported by LineageOS

Sure, but is a low quality life worse than oblivion? Even if you're not 25 and healthy and wealthy and happy, I think life is still worth living.

Plus, if the suffering experienced by this patient helps cause someone else (or many someones else for centuries to come) to have a higher quality of life, one person's suffering can buy a lot of QALYs.

Alternatively if as my mother tells me, I'm doomed to an eternity of unimaginable physical and psychological torture by supernaturally powerful fallen angelic beings with complete control of my entire sensorium, even a few more minutes of being hooked up to a hospital bed with doctors trying to make things better are preferable to that!
How has apple pulled off an encryption scheme that prevents people from seeing the iPhone screen over somebody's shoulder?

Eye to eye encryption?
Hi @rahilb, this sounds very intriguing; but I have a question regarding the In-App Purchases: what do these do? Is the app a trial that eventually requires a subscription or lifetime purchase?

I think what Obsidian with recent changes to their sorage sync fees is actually brilliant. I paid $8/month for 50GB, then they dropped the storage to 10GB. So I’m getting a great deal for the same $8 compared to new users & now they have a very low-grade $4/moonth plan that probably works for a lot of people … maybe even me. But going from 50GB to 1GB for half teh cost has me locked in to an extent.

That said $9/year doesn’t seem crazy for this one feature but I’m reluctant to install this without knowing this in advance. Still surprised Apple doesn’t require these details upfront … but these details aren’t in the app store or site as far as I can tell.
> The problem with Apple is not that they take a 30% cut of app sales in their store, or that they don't allow alternative browser engines or wallets apps or superapps or whatever in their store.

Nope, the problem very much is that they won't allow alternative browser engines, specifically so that they can force a crippled Safari browser with limited APIs to force people to write apps instead of web apps, forcing more traffic to their store. It's explicitly anti-competitive behavior.

>It's their store and they ought to be able to curate it however they like.

It's kind of forced fraud to call Chrome in iOS as "Chrome". It's like trying to sell someone a Ferrari that's just a facade bolted onto 2010 Honda. It's not Chrome, it's actually Safari - and its seems like people are finally starting to wake up to this abusive behavior that Apple has been getting away with for far too long.

Microsoft had a famous anti-trust case against them for simply bundling IE with Windows - not from forcing their engine on every other "browser" that gets installed. Apple is doing far worse than that and getting away with it for far too long.

>The problem is that users cannot reasonably install software through any means other than that single store.

That's one of the many other problems outlined by the DOJ today.

>The problem is that Apple reserves special permissions and system integrations for their own apps and denies them to anyone else.

Also another problem.

>However, these sorts of lawsuits or regulations that seek to force Apple to change App Store policies feel so wrong-headed and out of touch.

I was clapped out loud when I watched the DOJ announcement today. I cheered. They actually mentioned "Developers", which is a group I am part of, and I feel the pain that dealing with Apple and Safari is. Apple absolutely deserves this, and it's about time.
Specialty vs Commercial Coffee
i’ll second that recommendation… i use it through the SetApp store and i’ve been very pleasantly surprised by its documentation and ability to work with most services.
People seem to miss the concept of "market power" vs sales numbers. Apple loyalists love to brag about the fact that Apple users spend something like 7x more on Apps and other services than Android users. They don't brag about that so much when anti-trust comes up - on a weighted basis that would suggest Apple has about 95% of market share and should be treated in the same category that late 1990's Microsoft was.
You misunderstand.

I have a Wyoming area code. There are less than a million of those in circulation. I haven't lived in Wyoming in years, so the odds that a call with a Wyoming area code is both a) not already in my contacts and b) legitimate, is basically zero. So I let every single (307) call go to voicemail, and if they leave a message at all, I listen to it (and 99 times out of 100 discover that its a failed robocall. That 1 time, its an authentic wrong number, and I've called a few back if it sounded like something they were expecting to hear back about).
Cause it would be better for Apple's customers. This one doesn't even have the "my parents security" defense like installing non app store apples does. Do you honestly think any costumer WANTS iPhone to be shitty at sending images?

Why do you have to defend every little thing that Apple does as if you were their lawyer? I get that you like some parts of their walled garden, but why do Apple stans behave as if Apple was a sacred company that could do no wrong, when there examples like this that they are literally harming their own customers to protect their moat. I get why Apple does it, I don't get why anyone here would side with Apple.
The Reddit groupthink has made the site’s main subreddits unusable for a while. R/news is only news with a massive slant from one direction and any thought outside of the approved narrative is railroaded. Smaller subreddits are still kind of usable but suffer from similar issues on smaller scales.
I agree, I have never rented anywhere where I was permitted to change the locks.

Empire of the ants: what insect supercolonies can teach us
Those stores can be abusing their monopoly position as well. Apple has the greatest sales of all of those stores though so it should rightly be targeted first. They flew under the radar for far too long. People are literally going back to using websites rather than apps because of their decision, but Apple even tried to kill progressive web apps recently - which are basically just shortcuts to websites on the Home Screen.
"ASML has expressed concerns that recent proposals to curb immigration, including limiting foreign students and ending tax brakes for highly skilled immigrants, will make it harder to attract talent."

It isn't a general purpose computer. The form factor is compromised to make it work as a phone and it doesn't matter how good the CPU is.

A general purpose computer would be hard to use if it had an OOM killer instead of swap and if running the CPU full speed shut it off because it got too hot inside. (Using it too hard can also drain the battery even if it's on a full strength charger.)

No, that's a totally different analogy. The point is the impact of their market power other people who want to sell food, not other people who want to sell movies. Apple controls a very large share of the app market; no movie theater, however successful, controls a significant part of the food market.
