The logical consequence of this argument is that there is no such thing as a business practice which is illegal for a monopoly, but which is legal for a startup. As long as you start doing it when you're small, it must be OK. I don&#x2

Oh! Is this only Google's own apps? I read it as requiring Google to offer some kind of API to allow any app that any developer lists on the Play Store to be sucked into a third-party store. What would "unless developers opt out i

Making the stable boundary be C headers is insane! It means that there's not actually any sort of ABI, only a C source API.

That sounds like a dubious integration contract for initialization between libuv and node, not an issue with io_uring. I would assume the same thing would happen if they used traditional Posix APIs to open file handles before dropping their

Lix is a (nixpkgs-compatible) fork of Nix, led by Nix community members that don't get along with the core Nix team. At this point, the primary reason to switch to Lix would be if you trusted the Lix folks more than the core Nix team

The base ROI of Flutter to Google isn't all that clear because it's relatively complex to maintain. Worse, it requires maintaining Dart, which appears to be a dead-end language in terms of adoption. If Flutter and Dart were donate

It's good to know that exists, but having to rename a folder on the desktop to a magic incantation with a GUID in it is not an acceptable replacement for the previous control panel.

It also makes it a lot harder to bypass the login screen, even if someone takes the whole laptop. In case you weren't aware, the ability to do a passwordless unseal can be tied to not tampering with the bootchain. It's not entirel

For a mobile device, such as a laptop, lots of people other than the device owner will have physical access. The useful use-case of a TPM to me is the ability to encrypt my disk without having to type a decryption password each time I use i

Call me overly paranoid/skeptical, but I'm not convinced that this isn't a human reading (and embellishing) a script. The "AI" responses in the script may well have actually been generated by their LLM, providing a

It's not pending regulatory approval, it's pending developing an actual full self driving system. Elon Musk didn't want to pay for the sensors that were needed to do it properly, so now they're competitive with similar-h

The existence of real, honest-to-goodness commercial robotaxi service, being offered by other companies makes the deception even more clear: The actual thing exists and it looks nothing like Tesla's offering.

Petoi had a rep at OpenSauce in San Francisco. I picked up a Nybble, because I like the look of Nybble better than Bittle. It's a fun little toy and I really appreciate what Petoi are doing with the robots & the OpenCat framework!

Mostly agree with this except for "... and offer zero support for it." Nope, that's covered by basic consumer protections. Apple still has to offer support if the user has issues that weren't likely to have been caused b

Perhaps that's the meaning of "almost unkillable": Look at how much room there is to enshitify without losing all the users!

OK, wow, this is interesting indeed. I didn't realize just how much of a re-do of the build engine Buildkit was, I had just thought of it as a next-gen internal build engine, running off of Dockerfiles. Applying this information to the

I actually hadn't heard of COPY --link, but it's interesting because it seems to finally create a way of establishing a graph of dependencies from a Dockerfile! It doesn't sound like it's quite good enough to let you bui

You're totally right about the underlying container image format being much more powerful than what you can leverage from a Dockerfile. That's exactly the thing that makes nix a better Docker image builder than Docker! It levera

In terms of builds and dependency management, Docker and nix actually work pretty similarly under the covers: Both are mostly running well-controlled shell commands and hashing their outputs, while tightly controlling what's visible to

This feels like moving the goalposts. This is on a thread which began with the statement that Docker is reproducible. Will we next be saying that, OK, it's an issue that Docker isn't reproducible, but it's doing it for a no
