I'm not saying it's not useful, but much like the internet, claims have been overstated.

That's when the bubble will burst.

I think they are working on that slowly. Lots of stuff is moving to Swift. Including bits of iMessage.

Image I/O has been mentioned elsewhere. Suspect it's code that's running in process from that library that's doing it.

They're slowly rewriting the whole thing in Swift which should eventually eliminate most of the non architectural attack vectors. Most of them were mitigated in iOS 14 where they did some rather large architectural changes. Edit: Furth

Mostly buggy shit that you pay for support on and they never fix. O365 weirdness and data loss. Worst was completely hosing 80 users’ machines with InTune bug. McDonalds price, McDonalds quality. But unlike McDonalds, long lasting and expen

Having dealt with Microsoft for 30 years as both a power user and developer, "we believe in standing behind our customers when they use our products" , is a lie.

I try :) I know this is written for the investors, but it makes your potential professional customers feel a little sick.

-R does work on macOS. It's part of POSIX and macOS is actually certified Unix.

Ownership is about mandate and ability to effect change. That doesn’t imply any material benefit other than being paid to do it. What management roles tend to do is assign ownership without mandate and ability.

What a load of complete steaming bollocks.

--help doesn't do anything functional so that's not a good example.

I think you're reading me wrong. I spent a good deal of time working on SunOS (right back to m68k stuff), Solaris, HP/UX, Linux and FreeBSD over the years and use macOS now and am more than aware of the inconsistencies. My point i

That's mostly rubbish though. The reason ls works perfectly fine today is no one dares fuck with the interface in case they break everything that depends on 30 years of assumptions even if they do suck a little bit. That includes all t

The only ls replacement I have installed is sl. And that's really just a typing aid.

I can't say I've found anything particularly wrong with it in the last 40 years.

I think they’re working on that. Anyway Apple Music has the same stuff on it and that’s available on other platforms now as well.

That's because the whole idea of a redaction system is stupid. You can't start out with something unconstrained and expect to patch all the holes in it. Mathematically speaking, you start with set A which is all possibilities and

That's all fine and dandy until God's lowest bidding outsourcer writes a naive loop and evaluates everything rather that just what's needed. Next thing you know you've got bits of universe all over you.

Leaving credentials and keys in memory.

Yeah that. It seemed like a good idea but now we're enslaved by it.

Pay for it, employ monkeys to stare at it, raise lots of JIRA tickets and generally live in a state of misery.

So if we remove the careful wording, someone downloaded a minidump onto a dev workstation from production and then it was probably left rotting in corporate OneDrive until that developer's account was compromised. Someone took the dump

Correct. I don’t want either.

Nope I killed that. We have Wiz.

Hey they automated that where we are. I will spend several hours a week remediating impossible to exploit vectors to tick compliance boxes, while aircraft carrier sized holes in the front end go unpatched because they are hard to fix.

Oh fantastic. Was just about to book some flights with them. On the shit list it is!

The trick is to find your products somewhere else and then look them up on Amazon for a price comparison.
