Annex isn't slow because it's written in Haskell, it tends to be slow because of I/O and paranoia that's warranted as the default behavior in a distributed backup tool. E.g. if you drop something it'll by default ch

Thanks, also not-so-relevant, for the reasons I noted in a comment in that thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44922405 I.e. annex is really in a different problem space than "big files in git", despite t

And when you run that compiler implementation, what language family was used to implement the OS and kernel it's running on, the firmware you're using etc? That's what I meant, not that self hosted compliers don't exist.

Because whatever language you think should be popular instead is running on a mountain of C code, but the reverse isn't true.

I have no idea how you managed to read "this list is somewhat an artifact of" and "skews against" as a claim that the two would be "the same" if not for what I was pointing out.

Let's be fair here, the GP is comparing this to the complexity of other bureaucracy in Germany. In that context this does sound easy, e.g. here's how you form a GmbH: https://major-grooves.medium.com/just-how-c

It's also a technical problem, the overall security model of these apps isn't just the E2E encryption, but e.g. Signal not saving attachments to local storage, message expiry (which inherently requires clients to cooperate).

That's not even "mild". From Apple's perspective that sounds great. They were trying to delay the proceedings, were successful in doing so, and as a result need to pay for the attorneys' fees incurred. Fees that pro

If you read e.g. page 36-38 you can see that the court was able to use Apple's prior internal discussions to contradict their subsequent claims, in that case the use of the word "scary". The only reason they can do that is du

This should be easier to understand if you suppose that none of your 50 states shares any of its political parties in the House of Representatives. The Minnesota FLP[1] got members into the house of representatives in numerous elections. If
