That tweet's been deleted, so it's hard to judge it exactly, but my recollection is that someone else pointed out "payment data" here is just App Store, iTunes, etc purchases. "Apple targets ads on the app store bas

iOS Safari seems to render it with no performance issues. Interestingly, it can’t seem to decide whether the background is black or green—it’s different each time I load the gif.

I was under the impression the "committee" here was the people who wrote the C standard? So the accepted interpretation by the people who wrote the document must be the intended meaning, no? If it wasn't, they'd have wri

Can they still do that, now that the ScotRail franchise is (presumably) no more?

That doesn't work if there's a large and possibly growing matrix of hardware/OS/whatever combinations they're trying to optimize for.

I always thought of Rust's enums as simply a generalization of other languages' enum concepts, not a completely different thing.

I mean it doesn’t require ASICS, it’s just inefficient not to, right? Shouldn’t it be theoretically possible to mount a 51% attack with conventional CPUs (or GPUs), just a lot more of them? I have no idea what kind of computing resources

The issue is that a tumbler doesn't make the dirty money go away, quite the opposite; it gives a bunch of other people little bits of dirty money. If I were a non-criminal, or even a smaller-time criminal, it wouldn't be in my bes

While “text in a VCS” is a great option, it’s obviously far less usable than something like Google Docs, and you still don’t get real-time collaboration, which can be really nice.

Would anyone mind explaining/screenshotting what it does, for the benefit of those of us on phones?

Any reason for that, other than lack of political will?

That's the thing: Apple's exercising market power does bring all sorts of benefits to users. Obvious examples include the new privacy rules they're imposing, in-app purchases allowing any subscriptions to be cancelled with ze

I expect this will be the case with Linux on the M1 in a year or two, given the pace of marcan's work. Windows depends on Microsoft's willingness, of course.
