Genuine question: do advisories like this ever directly result in action being taken? Do they carry weight with stakeholders? (looking for real-world anecdotes, not preexisting assumptions)

Increased liability/lawsuit-exposure seems like an efficient way to do it (certainly better than regulations with very specific criteria around how people should write software) This liability is already non-zero. I wonder if the penal

What if they locked the parts individually, but not until an iCloud lock happened?

We'll see I guess! But even if it's not illegal the shortsightedness is staggering, which makes me question if leadership would have even foreseen legal problems

IANAL but isn't this what we have an FTC for? It feels like pretty blatantly unfair business dealings, particularly the fact that it's retroactive Literally "I am altering the deal, pray I do not alter it any further"

Seems like it would be really easy for them to just add it to iMessage. It already seamlessly transitions between data and SMS as needed; just add a third possibility Would not be surprised if one day they announce on stage that this is goi

My hangup with blueprints has always just literally been: I'd like to type them out with my keyboard instead of using a mouse I wish they offered like a "Bluescript" language or something, that just maps 1:1 with blueprints b

C# in Godot is generally a second-class citizen. GDScript is the primary way to write "userspace" code.

Only one commit and it's from 5 years ago, in which time both engines have changed quite a lot, so probably useless in its current state Neat idea, but impossible to do perfectly. There's potential I'm sure to do imperfect co

I was literally about to buy a 14 last fall, then the rumor about USB-C came out and I decided to wait another year just for that Edit: Lol, eternally fascinated by what causes some people to downvote on here

Some people are probably sad about the mute switch, which is understandable, but I for one am really excited about the action button

Much as I enjoy articles that reinforce my existing beliefs, high-frequency trading is a pretty extreme example when it comes to how how badly things can go in a short time

It's a big ask to get people to adopt an ecosystem wholesale. Compatibility with the existing ecosystem is a key goal of Bun, so that people can start using it immediately on their existing codebases and then adopt it gradually for mor

By being declarative instead of imperative: - The dependencies of a module can be scraped without running the code - The subset of declarations used in an import can be known This allows modules to be loaded in parallel, and also allows for

You've got a very narrow view that I'd encourage you to be more open-minded about No abstraction is perfect. Every abstraction, when encountered by a user, requires them to ask "what does this do?", because they don&#x27

Cute :) Any sufficiently advanced type system is indistinguishable from an interpreter!

I'm a big supporter of web apps, but even I'm skeptical you could make a cross-platform app that's as tight and physical as Procreate. Much less would I call it "problematic" that the devs decided not to (which impl

There's always a complexity cost even when there isn't a runtime cost. It just so happens that in Rust, the benefits tend to outweigh the costs

For better or worse, when faced with choices like this Rust has consistently decided to make sure it's workable for the lowest-level usecases (embedded, drivers, etc). I respect the consistency, and I appreciate that it's focused

Whether or not you agree with the conclusion, this is an excellent article. It gives a great overview of the background topics (I had a few gaps filled in!), and does a really good job of explaining the problem Re: the conclusion, I wonder

Well for one- creating abstractions always comes with a tradeoff, so it's good to have some basic skepticism around them. But Rust embraces them, for better and worse. It equips you to write extremely safe and scalable abstractions, bu

For what it's worth, Procreate supports every relevant file type and iPads have a file manager now, support USB-C flash drives, etc. In my experience compatibility has never been a problem with these apps.
