Right, but Apple now has to choose between suing Cellebrite and (tacitly) condoning their behavior. Not the same as losing the copyright, for sure, but still. Not clear which the parent was talking about. Maybe both?

I mean, “the iPhone prevents well-behaved software from accessing data without a password” and “software, known to exploit vulnerabilities to get around security features, currently doesn’t have any such exploits” are very different.

It can also share, at minimum, URLs.

But what exchange (in its right mind) would take those bitcoins? They're permanently tainted, and are likely very hard to convert into fiat currency, and therefore have, I expect, near zero value.

wrt the discussion about colored unsafe for interrupt safety, would it be possible to have functions that sleep (or whatever) take a zero-sized struct called NotInterrupt or something? Then entry points to Rust code that are known to not be

If you're talking about gccrs, no, it's a full reimplementation. I think your parent is saying developers can use rustc (including its borrow checker) while iterating, then produce the release builds using gccrs from code that is

I think macOS has some C++ in the kernel, but I'm not sure. And Windows is heavily C++, if you're willing to count WSL1 as "*nix-based".

Ah, very good point.

Not defending Apple at all here, but it's not too difficult to escape in this case: use Discord on a computer or an Android phone. The walls of the garden are around your iPhone, and the way to escape is to use something else.

Beyond all the technical issues with this—and there are many—the product just doesn't make sense. In the US, bank transfers are a pain. The credentials needed to send someone money are the same ones needed to take their money, and in a

That list is global, and the US list[0] seems weird, but I'll go over some apps that are and aren't on the list: FB Messenger (#1): looks like it does Snapchat (#2): did, but killed it in 2018. Don't think it ever had signifi

While I think I agree with this article, that isn't the case here. That article is talking about taking C code that happens to be portable to an obscure architecture, but never officially supported it, then complaining when the never-o

I assume it's an intentional feature (pay what you want, as long as its above the "standard" price, to give the author additional support).

This looks like it’s triggering a lambda to modify the object returned from a read.

The headline seems misleading—the article doesn't say anything about "having" to pay up. All the content is under a free license—CC-BY-SA for Wikipedia and CC-0 for Wikidata—so Apple is entirely free to just use it without pa

You're concerned about a project gaining too many features, so you… move to FreeBSD, an OS where everything is developed as one project?

Yeah, I'm not at all sure the distinction over terminology is terribly useful, but I do think GP's underlying point is interesting.

I mean, I read the parent comment more as "it's a shame that we, as a society, waste so much time figuring out stuff we already know but are unwilling to share".

Amusingly, this headline is ambiguous: are they giving their customers £50m worth of shares, or 50M lbs of food (that they have in stock)?
