In the US, replacing a Samsung phone battery is not any cheaper than iPhone, and likely you'll get the phone next day unless you show up at the repair shop at 8am. Apple store? Just walk in one and you'll get it done in 1-2 hours.

They are, and increasingly so for the past 2-3 years. I guess you have not been paying attention. I know as a matter of fact that my company and other companies almost exclusively create new headcounts in India/UK/Germany. US head

Nah, the employer will happily get rid of the US headcount and rehire the same guy in their home country or UK/Canada etc while paying a third of the salary. Zero employer is going to pay $100k.

We know that's not going to happen. What now?

The nurse that helped save your life at ER might be on H1B getting paid $80k a year.

This. If memory serves me right, in early days of Android, Google engineers were writing drivers on behalf of manufacturers because OEM drivers were too buggy. Think about the amount of work and the kind of talent this requires. If you are

Same. Combined with bad security practice from OEMs, preinstalled bloatware, app fragmentation (I love having Samsung "Phone" app and stock phone app at the same time) and customer service (try replacing your phone battery and c

I mean, Fortran still exists.

Anecdotally I don't know anyone who cares in the slightest bit about that. It's a name that has been used for a long time, and there have been lots of weird, strange name out there for software, but people just use it and move on.

"unpredictable" and "doesn't work" are different things. As a user, I know it's not deterministic and I can live with "unpredictable" results as long as it still makes sense, but I won't buy some

Not the same. Internet and recipe websites solve a real problem: accessing recipes was expensive and not easy AR headsets don't solve any problems. If anything, they make up a nonexistent problem, attempts but fails to solve the proble

That's irrelevant. Did this happen frequently in the US history? The US does not simply adopt France's laws but makes their own for a reason.

It's been 5 years since it was blocked, and there has been a lot of competing apps. OracleTok would be no different from a new entry to the market which has little chance to win.

That never worked. Google had Google+ which was a massive failure. Facebook tried releasing a product for workplace communication named Workplace/Facebook at Work and that is almost dead. Microsoft has been eyeing a social media platfo

In other words, TikTok US becomes TruthSocial Reels? I wonder where all the liberal content will go.

As long as you can publish a package in a CI environment (which is essential), none of what you mentioned matters. And that's not even the point. That phishing email is just one of the ways attackers use to infiltrate, which is not Mic

When your only dependencies are Spring and Apache Commons, which requires legal approval in your corporation to use, and each update requires scrutiny, it's hard to get any supply chain attacks, right?

Yeah, easily solved. Would love to hear your genius solutions right here that Microsoft is too dumb to come up with and implement.

Which survey?

by rs186 1y ago
Exactly. The biggest problem with npm is that it is too popular. Nothing else. Even if you "mitigate" some of the risks by removing features like postinstall, it barely does anything at all -- if you actually use the package in an

I never considered Unicode domain names a good idea. Looking at it today, it appears that the only people who use Unicode in domains are scammers and criminals. Thanks ICANN!

Is there anything new here? Aren't these the same talking points people have been making for the past few years?

Python and Rust both have decent std lib, but it is just a matter of time before this happens in thoae ecosystems. There is nothing unique about this specific attack that could only happen in JavaScript.

Depending on whay you mean by "cure". Maybe there is always something left, but you get better at handling it over time, which is way better than getting completely lost and spending all your time and energy indulged in the obsess

Looks like logic is lost here. My point is that the fact that Google used nonstandard feature so many years ago does not end up forcing users to choose a specific platform, which is the complaint there. And every browser has always done s
