> why do you trust the backup data you asked it for?

Devices could load minimal recovery/forensic images from a trusted external source (Apple Configurator USB in DFU mode?) or trusted ROM (Secure Enclave?), rather than loading a potentially-compromised OS.

> the newest persistent malware detected on iOS by MVT is from 2023

Thanks for the details on dm-verity-alike protection. There's been no shortage of zero-days patched by Apple since 2023. If there's a zero-day vulnerability in an iOS binary which parses persistent user data from the non-OS partition, the vulnerability can be re-exploited after reboot.

Now that you mention APFS snapshots, it would be wonderful if Apple could enable a (hotkey-selected) advanced boot option to (a) boot iOS without parsing any data from the user partition, (b) transfer control to Apple Configurator for user data snapshot export or rollback.

Do you know how iOS is isolated from non-Apple radio baseband firmware?

If you dislike managers generally, why would you think Amazon is firing them for all the reasons you personally dislike them as a class?

What is Amazon’s actual motive here?
> Probably no leetcode-equivalent for managers?

For FAANG, most front-line manager roles have a leetcode style coding round, though it may be easier and/or weighted less heavily than for an IC.
OK, then thoughts on VS Code and TypeScript?

Microsoft contributions to Python?

Do they all trigger some weird instant irrational reaction?
> Like a bad programmer can push terrible code, get caught at review and performance managed.
But a bad manager can cause much more harm. An organisation with bad management can punch itself in the face very hard and cause significant issues.

Ironically every place I've worked, a lot of these bad programmers got placed into the management pipeline, because they had not the skills to hack it as an IC, so it was a worst case scenario of "fake it till you make it".

You could be the most incompetent programmer in the world, but a suave bullshitter is a shoe-in for management, where they now get to tell the competent programmers how to do their jobs.
Much professional, very dogebag.
lol. My first thought as well.
>I suspect that this is the absolute core of "dark pool" strategy. Any trade that happens behind closed doors that "doesn't impact prices" means that an index fund is buying or selling at a price other than the "real" price meaning that dark pools are functionally a wealth transfer from grandma to an institutional trader.

Is there evidence for this, or this all baseless speculation?
The 12" MacBook (not air, not pro) from 2017 was my dream machine... Except for the thermals limiting the performance. That issue could easily be solved with an M-series machine in a similar chassis, but alas.

The current 13" M-series Airs seem a little confusing to me -- the two largest dimensions are practically the same as the current MBP, so for my use-case (i.e.: not carrying a backpack) I basically have to carry a bag the exact same size as if I were going to carry the MBP, and the extra 300g (or 0.7 lb) is meaningless in terms of portability.

It feels like the Air is no longer really so Air-y, which is a shame.

Hollande tried to do this in France (75% effective rate on earnings above a million Euros).

Even his staunchly socialist regime had to admit its failure and abruptly reverse course in 2014, two years later. The tax raised just €260m in 2013 and €160m in 2014…. But caused an exodus of wealth and job creators

TSC codebase is quite unlike regular TypeScript code you will see out there. So it is about specific way TSC is written in being the easiest to port to Go rather than the TS language as a whole.

There's a screenshot comparing the two side-by-side, IIRC it was showcased on the video of the talk (if someone has a timestamp - please post).
Agreed. Here I invoke the wisdom of groff old timers and of younger CSS developers: where the latter stops being useful when a professional looking pdf must be generated?

I can prepare a decent looking document, or spreadsheet, with LibreOffice styles (CSS) without particular effort. With Docs should not be much different.

Have seen official government Word documents with formatting in need of assistance. Teams at very large firms share Word documents, via email, forth and back debating about revisions of text and numbers. Publishing was only the necessary last step.

In most cases authors use the bare minimum of functions to get the job done. Professional looking is something else instead. I don’t know where Docs stands here.
So, lots of foreign guys who were not paying taxes in britain while benefitting from a temporary exemption and that would leave as soon as this exemption ended, left early because the exemption period was shortenened.

Good. They were making houses more expensive and not paying taxes anyway.
When they leave, they take their investments, spending, and created jobs with them.

Many countries have confiscated everything from the rich, driven them out, and even mass murdered them. None resulted in the poor being better off - things just got worse for the poor.
I too have been using the wonderful GIMP for years. The BIMP (Batch Image Manipulation Plugin for GIMP) is super useful in batch processing a large number of images in GIMP.
actually, I lost faith in a similar product I built previously (didn't see the sun ) as I believed the market was oversaturated. until two days when I started using resend and I wanted a feature so much (team-based access ) Resend didn't support it and I looked in the website and there is a small feedback tool like the one you provided

in a matter of minutes when I wrote, some one replied and added me to beta to test the feature. at that time I said there s a market for this kind of things after all

so good product, nice UI, keep up the good work ( after all what matter you shipped something and you are writing history )
> Making pro-quality text got easier, too. Style your text, apply outlines, shadows, bevels, and more, and you can still edit your text, change font and size, and even tweak the style settings.

This is a game-changer. I tried to use GIMP to typeset comic translations many years ago, and the workflow was so terrible I had to resort to a few extra tools, complicating my workflow. I'll have to try the new text editing to see for sure, but it sounds like typesetting is now comparable to what's offered in proprietary editors.
Can we please not?

Though if you really, really wanna, well I just looked and the top 2 search results were plugins for that sort of thing. The things people'll do for GitHub stars these days...

Guess you could try putting those on? In which case we wish you good hunting!
They basically stopped doing the previously-usual updates for a 7 years to focus on porting to GTK+ 3; GIMP was very tied to GTK+ 2. There were a bunch of much-anticipated features (esp. non-destructive editing) that were finished but couldn't be released because it was half-way through the big GTK transition.

Hopefully the now-impending port to GTK 4 will be a lot smoother and won't be such a disruption to their ability to ship the features they've been working on.
Roku is pretty much the worst. They started out admirably, but completely sold out and turned into spyware a while ago now.

What do you mean by donations? A 'donation' is the typical way to refer to giving money to a charity. Are you saying that charitable donations should be taxed?

I feel like the US has a history of inventing a thing and having an early version of it become popular. By the time it's mainstream in Europe, it has been improved and standardized, giving the appearance that Europe has more modern technology.

Perhaps the most famous example of this is magstripe card in the US vs EMV chip cards in Europe. The US had credit cards first, but standardized on swiping magnetic stripes. By the time they were widespread in Europe, the technology had advanced, so someone from the 2000s might think Europe did credit cards better. (The M and the V in EMV actually stand for the American companies MasterCard and VISA.)

I wonder if there's a term for this phenomenon.

Typical price of Solar and Wind power is about £0.05-0.07 a KWh, storage is similar means means a stored KWh costs about £0.15 if it bought from renewables. LNG tends to be more like £0.60-1.00 a KWh, we have seen £1.5 a KWh a few times this year which is a lot cheaper than prior years but still really quite expensive wholesale prices. The base price when renewables are doing a reasonable job comes out to about £0.08 a KWh currently. The UK doesn't have enough renewable energy and storage yet.

Its always worth playing with iamkate and looking at what the current power mix is and what it has averaged over the last year and how prices correlate with green energy.

I think you and I are largely in agreement in that caring is good. Without such caring then no such meaningful actions would ever happen. We need to care, it is a good part of society. But care without action can be ignored.

So as far as Serbia is concerned "no meaningful consequence = the world is fine with.. just about anything."

I studied Bagdikian in college. He did not say reporters are liberal. Reporters are representative of the political views of the class they are drawn from, ranging across the spectrum. What Bagdikian noted was that reporters are motivated by telling the truth, while the owner class is motivated by whatever makes them money, and hiding the truth serves that motivation.
It seems cheap consumer ISP hardware works absolutely fine these days, but prosumer/small business devices sometimes still have trouble with hardware acceleration. You can sometimes get that acceleration when you flash OpenWRT so the problem seems to be a lack of effort from companies that should do better.

Also, IoT crap tends to disable IPv6 (for saving a few kilobytes of ROM I think) but that stuff is better off locked behind six levels of NAT anyway.
You'd think Harvard educated people could come up with a continuous function rather than a step function.

Both the French and the Brits have nukes. They're at no risk of hostile foreign invasion and everybody knows it. Entire libraries of books and whitepapers have been written about it.

If it were about self-defense: Build more nukes, build some mobile launchers capable of also launching targeting satellites, maintain the missile and submarine fleets, and your job is done. This can be done on current military budgets, or even smaller budgets.

It's not for "self defense". It's for foreign adventurism and geopolitical posturing. Like the opposite of realpolitik.
You have to provide more data on it. There must be some business development individual in the team.
I said that somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but the line between "drone" and "missile" seems to have gotten pretty blurry with the Ukraine war featuring FPV drones holding a hand grenade that are effectively a human-piloted missile.

Some modern missiles can fly around to identify targets, but they can't return home. They can blow up harmlessly if nothing is a target, though. They can also dodge and weave the way FPV pilots do.

Obviously, "drone" has a much more expansive mission profile than "missile."

I know Roku doesn’t exactly have the greatest track record but I’ve owned them relatively trouble free since at least 2010, having refreshed them all once or twice since.

Way back when Apple and Amazon were fighting Roku was the only one that had both on it.

I prefer all my TVs stay dumb, so I just plug a Roku box or stick into them. No more having to get a new TV because the Netflix app stopped working or whatever.

I hate the Amazon Stick UI and don’t want to pay 3x the cost for an Apple box- but I absolutely will eject from Roku completely if they start doing this stuff.

3.0 is big for GIMP. Lots of features to make it viable for simple Desktop Publishing and YouTube thumbs.

Created a quick poster: https://i.imgur.com/pPgy255.png Stuff that needs work:

* UI/UX: "Tool->GEGL Operation..." is too much friction for such a common operation- just pop it up when you click on the "FX" button in the layers window.

* UI/UX: Naming. Drop shadows and glow are currently not discoverable (its squirreled away in the generic "GEGL Styles").

* UI/UX: "Move Tool" should act like a common entry point to other tools if you're not dragging. Switch to "Transform Tool" if I single click an image layer. Switch to the "Text Tool" if I single click a Text layer! Please!

* UI/UX: Copying/pasting layer styles does not work. Users can overlook many issues if you can duplicate/destroy layer styles easily. Preset system is cumbersome. Idea: Presets usable from the Layers window directly (could be just add/apply presets) would help a lot, but just copy/paste would probably be better.

* BUG: Layers often clip GEGL Glow. Again could be worked around by just easy copy/paste of layer styles. See clipping present on "GIMP Halloween Party" text in my image.

In the "Real Engineering" youtube channel video of this company, they VERY BRIEFLY show that the test area gets covered in a material that is essentially rock-wool. Any attempt to "blow" the vaporized material out will get clogged constantly and at the worst possible times, and they didn't even approach that as a concern or concept in their video. They genuinely seem to be treating "Get the material out" as a "We will figure that out later" problem instead of one of the MAIN PROBLEMS OF THE INDUSTRY.

I tend to disagree a tad with what you have said below, I've lost count how many interviews I've done at this point, one challenge is on the intake side and how many darn applicants there are or can be and that its typically the recruiting team interacting with them at this point.

The question in your example, is fine to include, but you need a non, yes or no or scale question to weed out unqualified candidates. For me, this is a very succinct question with a definitive answer. You'll be surprised at how many people will answer 'extremely comfortable' with Javascript yet not know what === means, so I'll ask something along the lines of 'what is the strictly equal operator in Javascript"... while any javascript programmer will know this, you'll be surprised that this type of Q alone knocks out 50% of the applicant pool, most of whom probably selected 'extremely comfortable' btw, and save my org. a TON of time.

"For example, for a role that requires experience in JavaScript, it's not unreasonable to confirm that experience in the questionnaire with a question like, Rate your comfort level working with JavaScript on a scale from not comfortable to extremely comfortable."

Sigh, there is a lot of misinformation about this and higher education tuition.

* It’s not a new policy, when I went to school the same threshold was ~$150k

* It’s not a step function, it’s a sliding scale (with <0 tuition, i.e. cost-of-living assistance below that number, and some (but not full) tuition above $200k)

* It’s not just for athletes or minorities - I was neither (by Harvard standards, Indians were fairly common and not considered a minority in admissions processes). Lots of smart kids whose parents did not make a lot of money fell into this bucket.

* It’s not a small subset of the student body (as tzs said); despite what you might perceive, a large fraction of students came from modest backgrounds. It was balanced by a sizable fraction that came from incredibly well-off backgrounds. But the total number that had donated a building to get in were pretty small (there are only so many buildings).

Higher education has many, many flaws, but please examine the facts before you respond with knee-jerk cynicism.
Fair. I bet that'll change soon though. My prediction is that it'll be a mobile-first game, like the next Pokemon Go sort of thing, that'll be IPv6-only.

> GIMP was very tied to GTK+ 2

People seem to forget that GTK was originally created for GIMP, Gnome came around and co-opted it since it was more free (libre) than QT.

GTK3 was a full rewrite divorced from the GIMP development cycle so broke a huge chunk of things GIMP put in place specifically for their code styling. Thus the long development cycle.
