   I’m surprised more has not been made of the claim that all this information is being sent unencrypted. If that’s really true, how can anyone take the claim being made by one of the largest and most privacy-touting companies seriously? If th

   The privacy-invasive tracking in Windows 10 is much more obnoxious and tricky to workaround (since it is spread out and hard/impossible to disable). This tracking in macOS is at least under the guise of security whereas the Windows tra

   There aren’t many (if any) realistic options. It basically boils down to Apple, Android or some extremely niche third party special phone (Fairphone etc.) which are mostly Android anyway. So either you pay Apple for premium hardware and sof

   If you just aim to provide static content, i.e. public web pages and articles I think you’d really have to “go out of your way” to break GDPR (which in this case is likely tons of ad network code among other shady things).

   Agree. We also only do it at home (but use less energy since we’re drying them on a rack). Here it’s quite dry so the added humidity helps.

   That doesn’t prevent you from using them at home though.

   So if I develop StreamApp today that runs apps in the cloud and just streams the view over the net, and somehow polish the integration with iOS so it is good enough (sharing etc.), would this argument change?

   I’m still using Sublime Text because of its superior performance compared to most other editors, and I’ve recently been super impressed by the NeoVintageous plug-in [1]. It has a very complete feature parity with Vim and even implements man

   For open source, you kind of are in a weird way. Open source projects need contributions, for example in the form of bug reports, feature requests, proof reading and (in the rare case) source code. Many ousers provide these benefits to open

    Would love for Jepsen to take a stab at Erlang’s Mnesia database as well!

    That both has and hasn't happened with Spotify. On the one hand, there are no 10 hour songs with some great part spread out randomly throughout that listeners have to find (obvious, and I think such a book wouldn't be successful e

    Yeah, this is my philosophy when developing Erlang software as well (also seems to be shared by most of that community). A few dependencies less are always worth a few functions more.

    Wouldn’t the alternative simply be bigger libraries grouped around common functionality or extension points? Like jQuery or similar (only an example, not sure what is hip today). I’d rather trust a fairly big library with an organized open

    Not in my experience in Germany: Ordered items on the 24th (a Friday) and they said normal delivery was expected on the 30th (next Thursday) and premium would show up on the 27th (next Monday). Didn’t want to pay for Prime, so went with the

    I took this to be part of the joke, since the new iPhone SE has exactly the same form factor as the iPhone 8.

    Once I started using one normal and one eSIM on my iPhone I found the lack of dual SIM slots a lot less annoying.

    You can also change so that PrtScn directly opens the snipping tool which is far superior by checking “Use the PrtScn button to open screen snipping” in Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard: https://cdn.discordapp.com/

    But the OS can. So if photos are accessed for example, the OS can popup the same old dialog asking for permissions as always and you as the user can decide.

    I guess Apple would be in a unique position here to use their experience from mobile to make a better integrated webcam in their computers as well, without most of those limitations.

    Just wait until you try the front facing camera on a MacBook (in my case, the Air from 2019). It's so horrible compared to any recent iDevice from the last years. I don't understand why they don't improve them to match the mo
