Correct. It's still very bad, but does not affect the secure enclave.

Agreed. That is indeed what may happen. I'm definitely happy for the federal government to investigate the impact of these algorithms in cities with the fastest range of rent growth, however. It makes sense to ban it federally even if

The exact number of landlords doesn't quite matter here, as long as enough of them are using the algorithm. One of the cases specifically being looked at in this investigation is Washington D.C. Google tells me that around 60% of renta

We can start with what is definitely price fixing and work our way up to why algorithmic pricing is price fixing. To keep things simple, let's say a city has two landlords, Alice and Bob, who each own around half of the residential ren

I've been a C++ dev for most of my career. Not looking to change jobs at the moment, and I like C++ a lot. We still occasionally start new projects in C++ where I work. I've tinkered with rust in my spare time, but never introduce

Right? That's why I was hesitant to bring this up too. But the picture really is that distracting. Like, the article's good enough that it doesn't need an image. Or if you really think you need it, grab some free stock photo

I know this article is very informative, and I typically like to keep discussion substantive, but that artwork at the top really distracted me from actually reading for a good few minutes. I don't really care of it's AI or not. Th

It's not an issue of not having the money to pay for it. But it is an issue about how the company makes money. I say this as someone who loves the Mac, and goes out of his way to avoid electron apps, but in most cases, it doesn't

Some of them. It's not entirely different to or Poland's PIS or Northern Ireland's DUP, though I don't know of any modern major Republican leader who thinks the world is literally 6,000 years old. Looking at data from 20

This is a tangent within a tangent, but it's basically a political strategy. Abortion bans are deeply unpopular, even in many Republican-majority states. By framing it "after six weeks", they're attempting to project the

By "easier", I mean it would be easier for the regulators to say, "you can have a dominant ad network or a dominant web browser, but not both." But I was a bit imprecise with my language there. There are other regulatory

Sorry for responding 12 hours later, but I felt I should actually read the ruling here before I replied. It's certainly interesting. The CMA seems to be attempting to balance interests of multiple parties, including both user privacy,

I wouldn't underestimate the impact the Chrome TV ads had on regular computer users. The banners atop Google search results encouraging people to switch also played a big role. by the time Chrome launched, I think there were a ton of p

I didn't read the Ars article as saying FLoC or Topics make Chrome less privacy-preserving than it was before, but rather that, once Chrome disables third-party cookies, they make Chrome less privacy-preserving than other browsers with

Are there any actual details on this? I get that this is a blog post, but the only links I see on the page are to other blog posts. It leaves a lot of questions. Is this blog post a legally enforceable contract? Is Microsoft specifically in

This seems like an unfortunate, but reasonable, given the circumstances, approach, but you'd have to make sure that none of your dependencies, including Apple's frameworks, have code that calls select.

It's not just that it doesn't come with a discrete GPU. Apple Silicon doesn't support discrete GPUs to begin with. As far as I understand it—and this is just from watching Apple's presentations on the architecture—the la

I want to second what lapcat said. Apple promised to stop holding up bug fixes for rule violations, backtracked on some of that, and then just seemed to have given up on it entirely. Bugfix builds are routinely rejected, even now, and revie

I think about this a lot. My personal bias is that open source authors and maintainers don't owe anyone anything. They're making their code available to anyone for free, and it's on you if there's something you don'

To answer this question explicitly, it's currently possible to jump through some hoops to run kernel extensions, but Apple has been slowly tightening the requirements over the past few years. here's what Apple currently has to say

The Swift team released a VS Code plugin recently. As far as I'm aware, it doesn't do live preview, but considering how often Xcode fails to render live previews, I'm not seeing that as much of a loss.

I don't know why this is being downvoted. The situation is more complex than this simple comment, but the sentiment is correct. The reality is that AppKit has had its ups and downs recently. There are obviously people in Apple trying t

It's a great solution when it works. MapKit and web views are good examples of it working well, but it can get buggy with anything more complicated, especially when mixing Views and UIViews in the same parent view. The worst part is th

The missing piece here is that the referendum was designed by people who wanted and expected remain to win. David Cameron, the PM at the time, was facing a minor rebellion within his own party from a faction of MPs that were anti-EU. They w

I don't see the benefit of using certificates for personal use. In my mind, certificates only really shine when administering a fleet of servers in a large company, as it eliminates the need to update the authorized_keys file on every
