You are conflating design with bloat. It's not the designers fault that click tracker SDKs and 15 microservices with eventual consistency is running in the background. They didn't make the mobile app 300MB. Obviously designers ca

Big & true. But even worse, this seems more like a lethal "quadfecta", since you also have the ability to not just exfiltrate, but take action – sending emails, make financial transfers and everything else you do with a browse

All of those links 404s for me. Can you explain how the malware works? You are aware that it's not the app store that protects you, but the sandboxing? Are these impersonation vectors, ie phishing?

I regard Google highly in many domains, but this needs independent research. There is just waay too much opportunity to misuse data to paint a picture of themselves as the protectors. Especially curious about their definition of malware, be

The crazy thing is this is all under the pretense of preventing malware. And I constantly hear this argument that the app stores protect people, even from developers. I truly don't get it. Are these people from 2009? Have they seen

There's nothing wrong with, and possibly better, to start out with a protocol only to support an application. But nowadays the pipeline for graduating into open protocols has broken. We have 15 messaging apps and no interop. Even Faceb

Not parent but I'm skeptical because normalizing blocking is a very real slippery slope. Last night I debugged an issue with one of my apps for 1h, it turned out one of the Cloudflare IPs my device got were legally blocked in Spain. No

It's very similar to the Stack Overflow debate of the previous decade. Bad developers would copy paste without understanding. It's the same here. Without understanding , you just can't build very sophisticated things, or deb

Disagree. Most critiques of Go I've read have been weak. This one was decent. And I say that as a big enjoyer of Go. That said I really wish there was a revamp where they did things right in terms of nil, scoping rules etc. However, th

Before AI, you needed to trust the recipient and the provider (Gmail, Signal, WhatsApp, discord). You could at least make educated guesses about both for the risk profile. Such as: if someone leaks the code to this repo, it’s likely a colla

Yes it’s total madness to synchronize and replicate complex state that logically belongs together. This is why microservices are such hot garbage. Well, how people tend to use them anyway. Monotonic state is also better than mutable state.
