Still unusably bad. First load performance is vital, and a very large number of visitors come without cached files. It's going to get worse as the battle between privacy tools and ad networks intensify. I totally agree with you on prun

So should he just shut up, then? It's scary if most people feel that way. There was also no risk to his GF. At worst, the relationship ends - it's not like the CCP is going to go after her (she did ask him to stop).

What I find frustrating is discussing something relatively trivial when talking about a totalitarian state. I am not from the West, and I do wonder if people bring up these just to be polite or to sound impartial.

The best way to debloat and prevent phones from calling home servers in China is simply by running LineageOS; don't even bother with anything else. I use Lineage on multiple devices (OnePlus, Poco F1), and it's at least as good as

I don't mean imminent war, but that it's headed there. From articles in Chinese news sites, it seems Xi wants to attach reunification to his legacy. The thing with dictatorships is that ultimately it will depend on what one person

Asia is headed towards war - it almost seems inevitable. Xi has publicly committed to not leaving Taiwan invasion to the next generation. China is focused on building an industrial base that complements its military power while generating c

You're in a tiny minority then, and it wouldn't hurt startups if a small segment is untargetable. In fact, they shouldn't worry about it for now.

One scenario would have been Jack Ma (along with family, of course) being outside China wile making the statement. Given his reach and popularity, that would have been a serious blow to CCP PR. He'd lose most of his billions, but this

Taking focus away from the central vision will jeopardize the company - shipping and maintaining a distro is laborious; so please don't do this. If at all, a script to automatically download/compile deps will be more than adequate

It's crazy how much of Apple's security efforts have gone into preventing users from installing apps on their own devices than actually keeping them safe.

I've not lived in the west, so I could be wrong. My take as a teenager in the 90s is that the world changed post internet. The second half of the 90s is when the web became mainstream (in the west). 9/11 caused untold suffering an

I think the real take away here is to choose the right tool for the job; and that even JWT is many times a good fit when used correctly. And to be more objective while writing public blog posts.

Certainly not for me. Registry was one of the worst parts of the Windows experience for me; but I understand it can be subjective. With separate files, the ability to download and replace them individually is a big win. Also, I can use term

I totally get how big a pain it is; I'm just saying you won't find them via these posts. Founders often over estimate how interesting their idea could be to potential co-founders; but people are more interested in working on their

This won't work. Who's hiring could attract a sufficient number of responses that makes selection viable, but this won't. Besides, unlike a work contract, co-founder responsibilities have no defined boundaries or obligations

I doubt this was YouTube policy, or that it was driven from the top. If it was, we'd have seen a few leaks. This is more likely mass reporting of such content (perhaps organized by State apparatus), exploiting the automated flagging a

I expect the future of tech (especially data) to be more decentralized. Not necessarily because of privacy, but because there are several opportunities to use the staggering amount of power available in mobile devices. Someone will figure o

But if they're willing to work for cheap, wouldn't they be worse off without the manufacturing? I mean, those people are already struggling and bringing manufacturing doesn't change that.

From a family member who works with Covid response (in India, where you have a large enough sample size), repeat infections are less likely and tend to be mild. But they are neither rare nor limited to people with exotic conditions.

These write-ups are not very useful or interesting if they aren't publishing the code, or any research papers related to it. Not sure who the target audience is; very little to learn.
