In the abstract, yeah, that'd probably be fine. Maybe not 100% legally -- the injunction that WP Engine got seems to imply that blocking one specific competitor from using the infrastructure might not be cool -- but if it was a restric

The judge actually summarized it in vastly more detail than you say there. Take a look at the jury instructions if you want to see exactly what the theory was: https://www.nycourts.gov/LegacyPDFS/press/PDFs/Pe

My recollection is that the prosecution was a combination of the mis-labeling of the payments, and the mis-labeling being in service of concealing a (federal) crime. Said different crime being the original hush money payment, which happened

Yes he was. The payment in question happened after he launched his campaign -- in late October of 2016. [EDIT to respond a bit to the now-expanded parent, which was only a single sentence when I replied]: I do totally agree that the hush mo

Personally I find it fine. It's a lot bigger than the Switch, but the grips make it more comfortable to hold overall.

Did you turn on beta OS updates? Because in my experience I have to restart it about every three months when Valve releases an OS update -- but when I had betas turned on, that was every few days instead. (Might also explain some stability

Yeah, they've been a bit slow on LLMs, but "machine learning" has been one of their buzzwords for years now.

This is actually one of those cases where the ease of doing it makes a real difference to me… iTerm2 does both of those on a single click, and that makes it vastly more likely that I’ll use them. (Completely a matter of taste, I’ll admit.)

by kemayo 2y ago
There's some minor things that iTerm2 does that I like: You can hold down command and click URLs to open them. (You can actually kinda do this in Terminal.app as well by right-clicking a URL and choosing to open it, but it's a bit

Huh, I'm honestly kind of surprised. Good to learn something! Well, I'll take back what I said about the majority. I do still think that the remaining 1/3 of users who don't have enough storage to turn on iCloud Photos q

Well, neither of us have any way of surveying the public about that, do we? My claim that those people would be okay with it has as much weight as yours that they wouldn't. I can try to turn down my natural inclination towards cautious

by kemayo 2y ago
True, but I don't see how that relates to anything? You asked for a hypothetical set of people who'd have iCloud Photos disabled but would accept metadata being sent to Apple for better search. I can't help you if you want to
194.
by kemayo 2y ago
It's probably a pretty large set of people, perhaps even the majority, since I'd suspect that most people don't pay for additional iCloud storage and can't fit their photo library into 5GB. In fact, I'm willing to

Yeah, we might quibble about what the default value of the toggle should be, but them adding settings for minor features like this is absolutely a good thing, and very much a sign that they're not trying to hide things. If anything, th

I don't think that's a fair characterization of what they're doing.

by kemayo 2y ago
Insofar as the photos aren't getting uploaded to Apple for this, that seems a bit extreme. (We could argue about it, but personally I think some kind of hash doesn't qualify.)
198.
by kemayo 2y ago
I'm not sure I agree -- asking users about every single minor feature is (a) incredibly annoying, and (b) quickly causes request-blindness in even reasonably security-conscious users. So restraining the nagging for only risky or partic

I think it's that WP Engine might arguably have been being a jerk, albeit in a way completely allowed by WordPress' licensing and directed entirely at extracting some benefit specifically from Automattic's work. ...whereas Ma

For context, the parser I'm talking about in my first post is Parsoid on that list.

For the parser itself, there is work being done on something that's more structured. The new parser lets you round-trip from the wikitext to the generated HTML and back, which means that it's entirely possible to work with wiki co

The problem for any "Wikipedia alternative" is that there's one obvious way to bootstrap themselves: importing Wikipedia's content. But that leaves them either needing to work out how to impose structure on it themselves
