This is the repo format version. It's pretty different from the git version, which receives new releases all the time for things like security patches, improvements, and new features.

Isn’t that’s what’s happening? The post says they’re moving forward.

What a weird attempt at injecting your product marketing.

It's wishy washy. I tend to bias away from things on the Mac App Store / Windows Store largely based on anecdotal experience. It feels like a higher percentage of app store offerings are junk. Not sure if that's just the lowe

I can only speak for myself, but when I'm looking for apps, the hierarchy of needs is something like: 1. Does it solve the underlying problem 2. Am I a standard or outlier user of the product 3. Does it make it easy to get it / us

There's not really a great framework for GUI apps on Mac/Windows to generically interact with a shared library. DirectX and friends are sort of an anomaly here. So you'd need somebody to build the tooling for that kind of res

> I feel this is easily fixable by maintaining a LTS version of the library and calling it a day. I think you're really underselling the amount of work involved there. What makes you think that's ~"easy".

It's not clear to me what you'd want the moat to be. It can't be the idea, because you don't hold ownership over the concept of checking USB device speed. The marketing copy is pretty clearly something you could DMCA but

In this case you have the evidence of what he did and it does in fact look pretty serious.

Really? If .com or .io or some other popular TLD starts acting maliciously, what’s the route to handling that problem?

Is that live yet? (Not asking to be critical; I was keeping an eye out because I wanted to migrate but last I saw, 6 day certs were still in testing-only).

What TLDs are today operated by non-profits? Looking at the list, I see a mix of commercial entities running them for profit and governments.

In fact you don't have to trust any of them, since browser root stores enforce certificate transparency. But also the issues of segmentation are pretty much a total shift of the goalposts from what we were discussing, which is what act

When a rogue CA issues a bad cert, they get delisted from all major browsers and are effectively destroyed. That isn’t possible with .com

Because the former works with any site and circumstance and the latter does not.

Yup, you’re correct. But in common usage, it would be weird to refer to example.com as a subdomain. Depending on the context, it would also be weird to refer to foo.example.com as a domain instead of a subdomain. If somebody asked me what d

by akerl_ 1y ago
This feels like you've accidentally waxed pedantic a bit. In common parlance, com is a TLD, example.com is a domain, foo.example.com is a subdomain. The suffix list is designed to capture all of that and maps to how it's used (you

The original objection was about branding: the term "responsible disclosure" was specifically coined by entities that wanted to frame involving the vendor prior to disclosure as good, and disclosing immediately to the public as ba

by akerl_ 1y ago
You've picked a really weird hill to die on here. Coordinated disclosure exists and means what we're describing it to mean: a disclosure where the researcher attempts to reach out to the vendor to remediate prior to publication. T

by akerl_ 1y ago
Giving the vendor a deadline up front is coordinating with the vendor. You brought them in on a plan for what you’re going to do and asked them to take actions as part of that plan.

Releasing an app doesn't make somebody somehow not an individual.

App notifications, on iOS at least, are opt-in, not opt-out. When you open the app it has to prompt the system to ask "do you want to allow this app to send you notifications". And if you don't hit "yes", it doesn&#

I don't think cash is saving anyone from the knock-on effects of international sanctions on their citizens. The same people who don't have access to a Visa because they're citizens of a sanctioned country aren't in a pos

It seems hard to have empirical data here, but even just the parallelization of it seems to bias in favor of mobile ordering. Part of the reason I hold this particular opinion weirdly strongly is because of the confusion I feel when I'

by akerl_ 1y ago
That’s certainly a possibility. But no, I don’t think a lack of cash will cause society as I know it to cease to exist.

by akerl_ 1y ago
I said mobile ordering and you transmogrified it to “apps”, but I’ll play along with the strawman. Yes, those apps. It turns out it’s pretty easy to just turn off notifications for them.
