Perhaps not even that is completely safe long term, as companies can introduce a locked down dependency, reverse policies (see Google's recent sideloading stance), or find some other workarounds.

Standardizations can be notoriously inconsistent[1], disregarded[2] or evolve fast[3]. There’s a surprising amount of interesting articles on wikipedia about that. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ough_(orthography)#S

Nonoverse: an iOS logic puzzle game (nonograms!), I’m working on adding a new batch of levels. I’m considering a garden theme for extra cosy vibes, but I’m still in the planning stage and drawing assets right now (in inkscape, no AI). http

Look at the diff in the article, it shows the “inject” part: the malicious file is added to the “preinstall” attribute in the package.json.

There is an explanation in the article: > it modifies package.json based on the current environment's npm configuration, injects [malicious] setup_bun.js and bun_environment.js, repacks the component, and executes npm publish using

Perhaps this is about commit granularity. If keeping the history about advancing the task is not useful, then I’d merge these commits together before merging the PR; in some workflows this is set up to happen automatically too.

Good advice. I draw pixel art for an image logic puzzle game [1] and these resonate, especially 2. (Negotiate) and 5. (Constraints). Another thing that helped me was to experiment with different canvas sizes and styles. I was surprised how

Congrats on the launch! Quick feedback: the website looks very polished and intuitive. I especially liked the test about articles, where I didn’t have to type. I liked that the website works well on mobile too. The content is not what I’d c

Best case scenario, this means writing new blog posts in your old voice, as reconstructed by AI; some might argue this gives your voice less opportunity to grow or evolve.

I guess no user is going to like that and especially not the current users. Until now Apple has been relatively decent about prioritizing user experience; and if not that then about respecting privacy. Ads are aligned with neither.

I meant that there is a proof of the photo being taken and a record of what the photo looked like before any edits (a photo negative).

I’m a photographer in my spare time; looks like this product isn’t about what images are being produced, or about the shooting experience - and this discourages me. When the goal is having a proof that the photo hasn’t been edited or ai gen

On iOS in particular the longer dash variants are easy to access — via long pressing dash. Anecdotally, I use them less often these days, because of the association with AI.

Somewhat related, my iOS app[1] has a morse code reference and lets you train, it could be useful here. Its backstory is also a bit silly, it started as the simplest app idea I could think of; I posted more about it recently[2]. [1]: https

The article's title seems inaccurate - as far as I understood there never was a $3000/mo bill; there was a $500/(mo,instance) staging setup that has been rightly optimized to $55/mo before running six instances. > Cri

IMHO it’s better to just use .com . By now .com is so popular that anything different is harder to memorize or even seen as untrustworthy (both by users and sometimes by platforms too).
