I've been actively wondering about generating some efficient and portable C code, and for this project it wouldn't be super-complicated, but undefined behavior is the one thing that keeps me away. C++ and Rust and C# and many othe

I think they just missed the memo that Windows now has a modern Chromium-based Edge option for a web view component. I mean, before that, the situation was really pretty bad, but now I'd expect it to be fine. (Have not tested it yet.)

It sounds like that, but I don't think it's really true. I think that only means that with the previous tradeoffs available, they chose to keep being tracked. No reason not to try something new and maybe they'll choose someth

Good example. First I've seen, and it doesn't apply to me so I will continue using them as I have, but good example.

I find the way you argue very frustrating. I respond to "This is a great way to make sure you have an unjust community wherein no one has the opportunity to defend themselves and speaking ill of someone is enough to evict them." b

A slippery slope, if you will? No, let this case stand on its own: The leaders of the Tor community were shown evidence they considered to be sufficient to boot this guy. It's a community they lead, they get to decide who is welcome. Y

No. Jail needs to wait for formal charges, but the community can make its own decisions whether they will accept his behavior - and they may decide they care about things that are both vile and legal, they may use entirely different reasoni

You wouldn't write the app in C at all, most likely. You would write the library in C, because every one of those alternatives can call a C library.

Nonsense. I would think a government would be perfectly capable of hiring experts. I would fully expect them to have different motivations than industry and academic experts, but I would think they could easily - and fairly cheaply - minimi

I expect it's very frustrating to see employees being given an insufficient computer. That's not Apple's fault though. (I mean unless they're misrepresenting things somehow, which I don't think they are.) Apple stil

Sounds easy! So what does your plan to implement "simple safeguards" for a chatbot on Twitter look like?

by chaz72 11y ago
I think I'm in the same boat, only a Mac user for less than 5 years. It seems to me that it's never been perfect, but that it remains somewhat above its alternatives, especially with the hardware/software integration they can

If they could make progress on the problem, I might forgive many kettles, I mean ills.

On the other hand, we don't need any more evidence. There is plenty of evidence already. This won't persuade anybody, but maybe it will motivate somebody.

Google's not making a public case. And Google, as far as I know, can read messages you send on Google services. Those are both Big Deals. I don't disagree (I don't have the expertise to!) with what you said on Apple and brows

I don't claim that Apple is as good as OTR or Signal, only that Google could do more, Google should do more, and Google should be out there helping Tim Cook make a case that back doors are a terrible idea. edit: Microsoft, Apple, Googl

I disagree that what Cook is doing is counterproductive. I think Google could take a stronger line to secure user data if they wanted to. They don't have to become a consumer product company to run a messaging system which they cannot

No, I like it. The jerk is shut down and not rewarded until he can communicate like a civilized person. The person who shuts him down can still pick up on the complaint and get the bug fixed for everyone else - and if not, then any widespre

Visual SwiftSharper. Why not?

Whole separate question. He already has that much money and that much power.

Fair enough. For my part, I would need to see a wider community supporting the language before I depended on it on non-Apple systems. I'll have to wait and see on that point. But that is a plausible outcome - and (in my opinion) more l

Arguing about "the point" misses the point. There's plenty of room for both free software and open source software.

I like it. I would think that all they need to do is build your short term solution and the open web can provide the rest. I mean, presuming they can provide a link from the web to iTunes, which seems simple enough.

What would your ideal discovery process be?

Well, at the time the OP mentioned it, I had never heard of people choosing a position on climate change just because of who would get hurt by the process of addressing it. I still have never heard an example, and I've certainly never

Was it a "redistribution of wealth" when paint makers were told "hey, stop making paints with lead in them, people are getting hurt"? If it was, was that a bad thing? I would argue it was sure inconvenient for paint comp

Wait, what? Why do you think climate change is about wealth redistribution? Aren't you concerned at how much it will cost to protect all the cities on our coastlines if climate change is right? That's sure going to redistribute

If you believe that arbitrary browser code running arbitrary website code doesn't weaken security, then I don't know what to say except I disagree.

To my mind, iOS security is where it needs to be for that device. I respect your opinion, but we're not going to agree on that. I've considered your argument and I don't see anything that changes the fundamental "so don&
