“Modern” ? Antiviruses have been doing all those things you listed for the past 15 years, these tactics are as old as the hill. I can’t remember a point when antivirus software didn’t do all that and just did the one job you wanted it to do

I don’t think it’s that clever, the origin will now be part of the cache key, so more likely 50 identical copies

I want to add Hanlon's razor to this. Some are pointing straight to malice and intentional misleading. It wouldn’t surprise me if they wanted to make it genuinely work originally, but realised they could save a lot of money, resources

I feel like it leaked from developer software engineering culture into the mainstream. Dark mode on text editors has been a thing for a long time, I’m guessing a few people finally decided to do it in other places.

> Now their collapse costs a fortune to the UK taxpayers. Does it? Grant shapes (secretary of state for transport) said most of the money to sort this mess has come from the ATOL fund rather than tax. And if that doesn’t cover it then th

It’s not just the US where they do this but other countries in Europe also. The U.K. govt are looking into doing this for aviation as the US model was brought up in the commons when discussing Thomas Cook.

The C.A.A are covering all costs to hotels. Mainly through the ATOL fund. The CAA have already reached out to those hotels who have been kicking people out. So no, it’simply not true that any Greek hotel will be left out of pocket from this

I agree with the OP, there’s only so much you can do with a phone, camera and battery life are one of the remaining things left with scope to improve. Apple are broadening as a company and the iPhone alone doesn’t define them anymore, that

> What happened when the npm owner decided to remove some packages? They can’t, at least not older packages, I believe they need to contact NPM if they wish to unpublish packages. https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/unpublish

npm hosted the packages so acted like a cache, the same didn’t happen when people deleted repos

> Javascript and Electron : easy but terrible performance. Is performance that terrible though? VSCode works ok for me, is it more to do with how people use Electron rather than Electron itself causing the performance downgrade?
