I don't see the problem in having a separate container that manages ownership and representing links between graph nodes in terms of that. The resulting overhead can be quite minimal and it's probably good practice to do this eve

One of the main benefits of async/await in Rust is that it can work in situations where you don't even have threads or dynamic memory. You can absolutely use it to write very concise code that's waiting on an interrupt on you

They found that introducing exercise increases fitness/health outcomes. That doesn't solve the problem that the vast majority of people don't exercise.

You might be right, I still don't see Spotify being cheaper for Spotify customers if Apple let Spotify users sign up through their iOS app. What's the customer impact? The inconvenience of switching to a web browser for a one time

In all of these arguments, I haven't heard about any harmed consumer yet. Half the things Apple is accused of actually benefit customers, at least in my opinion.

RCS does not support any end to end encryption. Yes you can send end to end encrypted messages over it, same as over SMS, but it's not part of the protocol. I don't hope RCS is the future, I don't want my ISP or any intermedi

Antitrust law is there to protect consumers, not your business model. As a consumer, I don't want to have to use 23 different wallet apps on my phone but am happy to have one secure implementation that's easy to use. You could arg

There are tons of apps that offer end-to-end encrypted messaging between iOS and Android (and Windows, MacOS, Linux fwiw). Apple offers APIs to allow you to associate your contacts with their ID in those apps so you can easily message them

How does that impact iMessage? Are parts of it implemented in the kernel?

The problem is that lots of older software allocates fixed size path buffers (mostly on the stack) that uses the MAX_PATH macro (which is set to 260). Fixing this requires recompilation.

No it doesn't. Try setting up Windows CI for a large code base, good luck. I couldn't believe this is an actual problem in 2024 either, but unfortunately it is, depending in what tools you use (Visual Studio and most Microsoft Dev

Have you ever needed to perform a reliable recursive directory copy between two drives on Windows? I have and it turned out to be a comically complicated task. Robocopy helps but als has its edge cases you need to handle. Also long path nam

Does anybody know how/why FaceTime/iMessage are coupled so tightly to the Wifi drivers? I'm assuming this is for communication with local iPhones for handoff purposes but I'm still surprised this requires special interac

Queries are complex and the query planner is using heuristics that might just not fit your situation in some cases. The query planner is great for 99.99% of queries but a super small number of edge cases will need tuning at the same time. F

I have tremendous respect for Herb Sutter and I can understand where he is coming from, but things like "All dereferences are null-checked. The compiler injects an automatic check on every expression of the form *p or p-> where p ca

Unless somebody is making serious efforts and running hidden data wires, spy cams are pretty easy to find by the average nerd equipped with a cheapish spectrum analyzer by their RF signature.

It's not about the price. Hotel suites with multiple bedrooms are extremely hard to find or cater more to the super luxury segment.

Great point, but I want to bring up another one I'm seeing all the time: Maybe functions that don't have maybe in their name and just silently don't do something without informing the caller. This is extremely common and the

It's a spectrum: On top is AWS lambda or something where you are completely removed from the actual hardware that's running your code. At the bottom is a free acre of land where you start construction and talk to utilities to get
