It's worth it in the balance of user privacy and how accurate attributions are imo. Apple are tilting the balance back in favour of users.

Apple added SKAdnetwork specifically for the attribution use case, presumably because they foresaw this.

I'm a big Rust fan and have been using it for three years at this point. However, I read nicoburns's original recommendation as "It could be fun and intellectually rewarding to learn Rust", not as something they suggeste

Rust is much more like Ruby than C++ while retaining the characteristics of C++/C. The build system and ecosystem is also excellent, something that you cannot say for C++. In terms of WASM Rust and C++/C are in the same boat i.e.

Yew already seems to out perform most other frontend frameworks and view libraries[0]. More importantly it does this while still paying the serialising cost when moving from WASM to JS and back. This cost is set to go away when WASM to JS i

There was a discussion about the topic of MFA resets on the Risky Business podcast[0] in which the host, Patrick Gray, suggested companies require a one time fee for MFA resets. I think the suggested amount in the show was $50 which seems r

I haven't found an answer to this elsewhere and I've also asked Cloudflare but it's unclear if Cloudflare's analytics filters known bots in any way which AFAIK GA does.

Of course everyone is free to build apps in whichever way they want, others are free to take issue with it. My argument here is that these "blank canvas" cross platform UI toolkits are trading an improved developer experience for

I am not a fan of the general trend in cross platform UI that can be described as "blank canvas" cross platform i.e. where cross platform UI is achieved by treating the app as a blank canvas ala web or OpenGL/Vulkan/Meta

by K0nserv 6y ago
Yes but the counter argument here is that games are all extremely custom anyway and it makes sense for them to render their UI completely from scratch in a blank canvas. For typical applications the blank canvas/from scratch approach d

I wrote a comment[0] in a different thread about just this and how I am excited that, at least on iOS, Apple are helping fix these consent prompts. 0: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23757498

This research is interesting because it's highly relevant given Apple's upcoming changes to tracking consent in iOS 14. Unlike the DNT[0] header Apple are in a position to enforce apps actually respecting the users consent prefere

I think you are wrong about mask usage and especially theories on places where it's common. My understanding, which could very well be wrong, is that high mask usage is common in cultures were being a burden to others is a faux pau. Ma
