It's pretty normal for Apple, tbh. They have a long history of refusing to pay bug bounties.

What exactly is their fault? They did Apple a solid, but not in accordance with the precise terms as laid out by Apple, so it's perfectly justified for Apple to take the researcher's work for nothing?

They're a bit of a bilingual mess. Did they start out with German table names and decide to give new tables English names at some point?

It's just focussing on the useful practical applications rather than the abstract theory. Anchor your explanation in something with actual practical use. It's why so many mathematicians are so shit at explaining maths to laypeop

How big a factor is the fact that bio systems weren't designed? It strikes me as the mother of all spaghetti code. Is it even possible to meaningfully look at parts of the human body in isolation?

It was always going to hurt consumers short-term. I don't know why anyone is surprised. Maybe it's just because I'm old and remember the clusterfuck when the EU decided one TV company couldn't hold the rights to all th

The worst part is, imo, US taxpayers paid for all that infrastructure. These ISPs absolutely should be forced to open their infrastructure to other providers, like in Europe, and for the same reasons.

Python makes it relatively hard to write inscrutable code, and more importantly, it's very non-idiomatic, and there would be pushback. WTFing at shell scripts is normal.

It isn't (lib)curl that's doing this, it's Apple's own version of LibreSSL that curl is built against on macOS. There's nothing curl can do about it.

String processing in general is just easier in Python. As a basic example, `lstrip()` and `rstrip()` trim whitespace by default, but can also remove any characters you'd like from the end(s) of your string. You'd need to code that
