Doesn't seem to be, I can see LittleSnitch itself connecting to yoyo.org and obdev.at. GP may be referencing a past bug, either in LittleSnitch or macOS.

Yeah, it's not bloated, there are just a lot of surprising and weird performance holes, especially on macOS. Even on iOS there's dumb things like, if your List cell's outer view isn't a specific type, List won't opt

There have been mobile Safari ad blockers for 10 years now, free or paid, and many of them can now be unified with desktop Safari. Many alternative iOS browsers include ad blocking directly, since they can't use the Safari plugins (des

Why would they need to arrest 150 million people? They'd let everyone in heavily Republican districts vote just fine, perhaps just a few random arrest at any precincts in Democratic areas. Their main focus would be urban areas, especia

He doesn't need to legally cancel the election. He simply needs to say it is and take action as if it was already. This allows him to combine interference before the election with the Republican insurrection tactics from 2020. Say he d

Keychain is one of the worst APIs on Apple platforms, with parts that date all the way back to MacOS 9. It's not surprising there are various breaking bugs from decades of low maintenance.

SwiftLint and SwiftFormat are different tools than swift-format, which is what is included with Swift itself. swift-format is less capable than either, or similar tools from other ecosystems. Personally I use the other two. And they don&#x2

Mac Studio waits for the Ultra chips to ship, which are always last in a generation. Perhaps the M5's chiplet architecture will help them move faster there.

Yes, exactly. It also allows you to disambiguate overloaded function. e.g. thing.ModuleA::doThing() vs. thing.ModuleB::doThing(), which wasn't possible with the previous syntax.

Looks like swift-build will be the default in Swift 6.4: https://forums.swift.org/t/swiftpm-development-update-defaul... Unfortunately, swift-build is what Xcode has been using for years now, and has major performance

What, of course Apple uses Swift on the server, that's the only reason they're investing in any of this. Many of the foundational Swift on the server libraries were written at Apple and later opened, like SwiftNIO.

Wow, Cox's original Objective-C book? Interesting historically, but it's hard to imagine it was of much pragmatic use, even if you're working in Obj-C as your day-to-day. Still, it's an interesting artifact of the early

LittleSnitch also does filtering, so it's both parts of the solution: it allows inspection of outgoing connections, at least by domain, and filtering of those connections you don't want, allowing you to block ads and most data net

Answering my own question, they need a way for users to grant location permission only to the primary app and not any of its dependencies, as once you grant it, it's available to all code in the app. It would be great if there was some

What would you like them to do? They already force apps to ask for permission, give user control over when the app can even access the location (including just once), tell the user when the app has been accessing the location repeatedly ove

Swift's concurrency story is what happens when a multi-year project meets Apple's fixed six month Swift release timeline. And being written by highly knowledgeable but low level engineers who've never written an iOS app in th

It's an excuse generator, nothing more. They could use Hotdog / Not Hotdog and get the same result.

They still don't have strong backing to do this, they just don't have anyone to stop them.

A distinction without a difference, and it's questionable whether deportation is actually the goal here. If that were the case they could put him on plane today.

The nuances of criminal procedure may not apply, but the fundamental constitutional rights still do, as well as human rights. Indeterminate detention violates both.

That applies to those who step across the border as part of a border crossing or rescue. The court decision applies it to all aliens, which is the never before applied part of GP.

Steam's ARM support is still beta, and Battle.net is still x86 only. So it seems more typical than not for these sorts of things.

They're great if you're in a populated area. If you're tracking pets in the country, you'll never see them, as there aren't any relay devices out in the woods.

Exception that proves that rule. It took national protests over months, during COVID, to drive that case through to conviction.

After the Civil War, nearly all states gave up on maintaining their own independent militia and they became the National Guard (a few states maintain poorly provisioned state guards). Ostensibly the Guard is run by the states but can be fed
