I agree, but I’m definitely curious what you see as the biggest challenges given your extensive experience with Apple OS internals.

The restrictions are a starting point for improving system security, not an end point. I agree that the prompts are annoying, there need to be better ways to delegate permissions.

VM technology currently adds a lot of conceptual and computational overhead in most cases but there are examples of it being integrated more seamlessly. WSL 2 is a good one.

Yes, I'm aware. I've been programming in Elixir since 2014. I didn't intend to imply that being third-party means these are bad tools, they're not. They're great. But Go people often harp about how much stuff is in

I've never tried it but I think I've heard of it. Regardless, it's a third-party tool, so not at the same level of support as Go.

For me personally (not OP): I find Elixir more ergonomic, the networking stuff is very solid, soft realtime is the whole reason it exists, and I don't need single binary deployment because everything is going to be running in a contain

“Isomorphic to” in what sense? Surely you’re not claiming process-level isolation is as strong as a virtual machine. There are similar roles in both but the abstractions are pretty different.

not sure how long it's going to take to get there but I think unikernels/library OS are the future. cloud computing is moving in the direction of lots of small tasks running in strong isolation and communicating over the network i

I have to imagine using Signal with a high level clearance might itself arouse suspicion, for one thing. People inside the intelligence community really can’t expect much privacy for themselves.

Porting this is cool but why would people adopt Elixir if they can have LiveViews in their preferred language?

you can define functions outside of a module using fn blocks

Rust and Elixir do this too.

The lid is often thermoplastic of some sort, sometimes with a rubber gasket and sometimes without.

Aren’t the lids typically plastic though?

it is really not that much harder to scrape using XPath and no labels if you know what you're doing…but only if you can see things, of course.

The question was whether they’ve touched an Android phone, not whether they use them regularly.

No controllers, no waving your arms about. Eye tracking and hand gestures for navigation. Screen on the front that shows your face to make it feel less isolating. I don't know that it'll be a success but it's a lot more than

Of course it’s possible to be effective with different tools but I find even Emacs is made a lot better by Flymake/Flycheck and Eglot.
