They went another way to wall the garden. The super-open Apple II family had expansion slots and published circuit diagrams that third parties could use to build all sorts of cards. And build they did. Instead of Jonathan, Apple drove towar

We are using Hasura for schema migration. You don't have to use the graphql stuff: it will just follow your tables and generate .up and .down migrators for you. Then you can just use pg like normal, directly.

But it's not just ads: that's disingenuous by understating the impact. It's the entire tracking, data broker, ad marketplace, surveillance capitalism ecosystem. This ecosystem causes immense harm in global climate, ruins live

I know Don Hopkins hangs out here sometimes, but the big question is did NeWS source code ever get liberated from the depths of Mordoracle?

This. Look how long they let malware fester on desktop, even encouraged, without any built-in defense. Users rolled the dice to choose a sketchy third party solution and it turns out they were almost all dirty.

I find the dark screen report persuasive because there's an air worthiness directive against that 787 which will cause the reset of flight control l computers. That would be consistent with both the dark screens story and the loss of c

It's pretty hard to compete with open source plus byte-reproducible builds for anyone serious about security. Not only is MS neither of those, it's also the premier malware target and a voracious surveillance instrument on its ow

No, I think they're tied to their devices like the rest of us. But the apps and places they visit might be different. While we might prefer typing and blogging, Deaf might post a video of themselves signing at full speed, without capt

Snark aside, it's a fair point. It's totally possible there is a design defect in that axle or fastener admitting metal fatigue and we will start seeing more 777 events in 20+ year old landing gear. Is it likely though, compared t

Nah, not Boeing this time. Airline. Tire changes happen every few hundred landings, so are squarely an airline ramp mechanic thing. There's one big nut holding the wheel on with a bunch of covers and safeties. https://images

More acquisitions? Why? They're already a $3 trillion company. As parent comments say, they have saturated the market, maxed out the app store at the expense of good will, and are engaged in a duopoly spiral with Alphabet. How long wil

I think it's the knot application and not the culture driving the requirements. For example, we all know what a square knot is, but it's difficult to untie when stressed and wet. A reef knot on the other hand has a loop for its se
