Security, the fact that it was a closed standard, touchscreen support, battery life... most of the issues brought up by Steve Jobs are still valid: https://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/

FaceTime? That's probably the closest to what you're looking for. It's end-to-end encrypted, runs on (Apple) phones and computers (which is its biggest weakness for this use-case), does not require joining a "community&q

I'm sure that plenty do. I somehow discovered Emacs in the Terminal on the family Mac when I was much younger and I consider that the start of my interest in how computers work under the hood (aside: thanks to the GNU Emacs developers

I've noticed that I drink a ton more water when I have my water bottle on my desk---I rarely get up to go get myself a drink (because I'm deep in whatever work I'm doing), so I would wait too long without the water bottle. Th

I agree. While Rust is clearly a step forward in programming languages (and we need a step forward), modern tools built to deal with the issues common in C and C++ like coverage-guided fuzzers, ASan, Valgrind, etc. have made huge improvemen

It does come with a slow-ish emulator.

Windows itself runs on ARM64 just fine. The third party software usually still requires Microsoft’s emulation layer. I’m not sure that Apple would still maintain Boot Camp, however. I doubt that that matters as much as it used to.

While this is usually true, individual vendors do add their own kernel modifications: https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2017/02/lifting-hyper...

They're doing Apple a huge favor by discovering these bugs. They're doing the security community a huge favor by publishing blog posts about them for others to learn from. They also do plenty of Android research, although iOS is a

Would that not be some astronomically large number of humans? Trillions or even more? DNA is huge and there are a lot of different combinations that would vaguely resemble Homo sapiens. I feel like this concept hinges upon the assumption

The kind that Google and Microsoft (and maybe others) do is pretty great. You get a push notification on your phone and just tap "Yes", and you're in. Of course, you should still have a fallback like OTP for when your phone i

Yep. I haven't used any version of Android since 6 or 7 and I can still use Google to find out where certain settings are.

Yes, but recompiling it for a new processor architecture shouldn't be a huge energy expenditure. For better or worse, applications meant to run on "moving target" operating systems like macOS need to be updated.

I think it would still be normal macOS, just on ARM chips. I find it hard to believe that they would get rid of macOS too given that the iPad Pro exists.

While you're right, this might be a reasonable compromise if you trust the person. The advantage of restricting their sudo use is to make it harder for them to accidentally mess something up, not protect against a malicious user.

Depending on your UAC protection level, you might have to enter your password for normal Settings and Control Panel changes too. Additionally, a lot of registry settings are things that should be user settings. Want to remap caps to escape?

I'm fine with this being left up to distribution maintainers. Arch Linux packages a fully open-source version of VS Code by default.

Really? What kind of special formatting have you seen? I think that italics , code blocks, paragraph breaks, and https://lin.ks are the only formatting options available. I certainly haven't seen anything else.

Security by obscurity gets knocked by some people, but it is a valid part of a defense in depth strategy. For example, I run SSH on a weird port, but I still secure SSH just the same as I would if it were on port 22. Running it on a weird p

In my opinion, they should implement this by removing the feature that combines two lines without a newline. Most people type entire paragraphs out on a single line (since web browsers word wrap inside <textarea> tags), so I don'
