Yeah, I'm really glad for the trend of statically linked binaries that came with Rust/Go. No more version incompatibilities, fights with downstream packagers, weird build configs, etc, just distribute the binary and that's it

The main reason is that Apple has effectively deprecated Objective-C for ios/macos development going forward. It's not going away for probably another decade+, but all documentation is now in Swift, new APIs are written with Swift

It's just classic dependency issues. I'm not familiar with swift specifics, but probably a combination of ABI instability and just plain version incompatibility from one distro to the next with your target program. My opinion is t

Biometrics don't have to be secret to be useful -- my home country has national ID cards with embedded fingerprint data, and certain transactions are required by law to have you physically present yourself and verify your identity with

The problem is that SSNs weren't designed as a unique identifier for US identity, with no consideration given for protection, authentication, etc. The earliest SS cards came with 'NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION' on the front, was use

It’s not your bank, it’s payment networks and stripe’s partner banks. Visa and MC are notorious for being the de-facto arbiter of allowed businesses, they have extensive yet vague guidelines on what is allowed due to porn stuff a long time

I never knew about the 3-day limit before, it makes sense that this is the reason behind unverified ACATS transfers (a problem that I've spent no small amount of time arguing about on various online forums long ago). Interestingly, Fid

I find Anthorpic's work on mech interp fascinating in general. Their initial towards monosemanticity paper was highly surprising, and so is this with the ability to scale to a real production-scale LLM. My observation is, and this may

The context is that it's somebody else setting up what's basically a dumb phone for family members. I agree that custom roms are a terrible idea for non-tech savvy folks if they have to set it up themselves, but in this specific

I was expecting to trash the idea of custom roms for the laymen, but this is actually a really smart idea. In this case, "minimal" means "as close as possible to a dumb phone", which means uninstalling everything that&#x

Apple is caught between a rock and a hard place here. On one hand, probably the vast majority of ipad users don't know multitasking exists, have never even opened the Files app, don't care about the lack of system utilities, and u

by e63f67dd-065b 2y ago
My guess is that in addition to Apple just not caring, they have market research telling them that most users don't want this feature. I imagine that the average HN commenter is probably as far as possible from the average iPad buyer.

As sibling mentioned, you can build the kernel with clang today. `make CC=clang`, and for whatever reason I've found that it produces code that's significantly more pleasant to step through under a debugger than gcc. If anybody ha

What did they lie about under oath? From what I recall the whole saga was pretty much reddit gamblers blowing through a bunch of liquidity of the major brokers, and triggering a bunch of big margin calls. There were no naked shorts or whate

I would love it if you could bundle this into electron, there’s so many random electron apps for which the bug reporting workflow is still stuck in the 90s as you say.

Tech is known for being international, and even in the US is staffed with a lot of foreign-born labour. I don't find it surprising that a community with a high amount of non-native speakers sometimes misinterprets metaphors.

Never thought about the fact that holidays are both when there are surges of consumer spending but also when money doesn't settle. Also quite funny that black friday was translated as a sale on black things in at least one instance.

I would agree with you if the app could redirect you to a website to subscribe, but that's explicitly against the rules and not currently possible. This wouldn't be an issue at all if a redirect is allowed, or even a sentence sa

Doesn't this depend highly on whether that resource usage is worth the tradeoff of developer productivity? Python devs are much more plentiful and easier to hire, and if you now need a $1 microcontroller instead of a $0.5, and you&#x27
