Not sure if you’re joking or not, but that’s exactly how Telegram stems to work. One person per app (ok, for the desktop app it’s three people now).

Apparently they are using GPL-licensed code as well, see https://twitter.com/DocSparse/status/1581461734665367554 After five minutes of googling I'm still not sure if using MIT code requires an attribution, b

I'd like Apple to have more money than just covering the R&D, because I believe they can do unrelated cool things with it (VR, Mac improvements, Apple Car, whatever).

I wouldn't be okay with that, but it wouldn't be completely unjustified either. Google has put an incredible amount of effort into creating the delivery channel for websites/webapps. Not just as in "let's make a g

"Just"? A general purpose computing device for your pocket is a kind of a huge achievement.

I would be sad. Passkeys, built-in OCR, "Sign in with Apple", offline Siri are all from the past three years. But also.. over the past several years I've grown to regard all new features as "god, _of course_ computers sh

I wanted to object (as a happy Telegram user) that I want to preserve message history for all my devices, but then it occurred to me that iMessage is end-to-end-encrypted and also has pretty transparent message history sync. So now I think

Map is in JS: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe... TypeScript is designed in such a way that type annotations can't influence the runtime behavior. This is unlike e.g. Has

They have this kind of middleware as well: https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/functions/edge-middleware Don’t know if it’s as powerful, though — haven’t personally used it.

I have some experience with static sites — my personal site was a static Markdown-generated site for about six years. The generator went through several iterations, from a shell script to a Haskell app. My company site (also static) was gen

Hm. Where exactly does it report the found issues? I used it on my web app and I see a lot of selectors&properties but nothing else.

Update: it also occurred to me that some tablets are significantly further ahead when it comes to hardware features: 1. mobile internet 2. Lidar (iPad Pro) 3. graphical tablet layer (iPad w/ Apple Pencil, and others) 4. high quality ca

I am a fullstack web developer / project manager. I have just tried to mentally compare a MacBook Air that I have now, with an HP from the 2000s that I used to borrow from my mom a lot when I was a kid. Honestly, I can't think of

Noted. One thing to keep in mind here is that anything that allows anonymous publishing/uploading/etc will be used for malware delivery. This is what killed Firefox Send: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products&#

I run brick.do, which lets anyone publish anything. It’s basically a WYSIWYG pastebin with support for subdomains, nested pages, CSS, and JS. All your posts are disconnected from each other unless you explicitly decide to claim authorship —

See also: https://maiachess.com (which does exactly that but they stop at 1900 ELO, which is far below a grandmaster).

I’ve tried all of the apps you listed and they all have significantly less polished UX, except perhaps for Messenger. In an alternative universe, I could very well be using Messenger. My personal assessment is that if you have to communicat

Is it? Googling suggests that Microsoft invested in OpenAI but doesn’t actually own it.

Off the top of your head, do you have simple examples of this? I know a bit of Rust but I assumed (apparently wrongly!) that safe-within-unsafe should just work.

AFAIK, at least in Russia there are signaling systems that will interpret a metal object connecting the rails as "another train is on the track" and inform the train driver. Not sure whether those systems are also installed in the

There was a paper on HN recently about auto-inferring semantics of x86 instructions — although it used an SMT solver (I think) rather than ML. https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eschkufz/docs/pldi_16.pdf

I think they are, though. Off the top of my head: * Network calls are traceable by default — logging all incoming queries is easy, logging all function calls is harder. * Network calls are easily made — function calls in a backend can requi

Relatable. I have the same problem, except it's not "I'm jealous that somebody gets more attention" but rather "I don't get attention and I have no idea how to change that". Doesn't looks like I'

I've always loved using Twitter for threads and "thinking out loud". But Twitter is also a slightly depressing experience — e.g. when I get likes but no replies, or when I scroll through the feed for half an hour and don&#x27
