This seems like a pretty significant anti-trust issue. One of the two mobile OS makers is using a product from the other for its AI assistance. And that means that basically all mobile devices will be using the same AI technology. I don&#x2

It is quite possible that the author isn't aware that "all rights reserved" is the default and intended the license to be more open. If they do want to keep it proprietary, it would be nice to make that explicit.

If I just stick to vanilla markdown, then I don't have features that I would really like in my notes, like tables, footnotes, etc.

> How long should Apple be required to provide updates, both security/vulnerability and future API support? If they want to drop support for still functional hardware, they should make it possible to install your own software on it.

Apps that connect to a service over the Internet (maps, music iMessage) could stop working if Apple changes the APIs that those apps use. This is even more likely to happen to third party apps. You won't get updates to the trusted root

There needs to be a way for the user to tell NPM whoch IDP to trust. And then, not all IDPs support automated registration.

Well, given that Github owns NPM, one potential reason could be vendor lock in. Also, from an implementation standpoint it is probably easier to make a system that just works for a handful of OIDC providers, than a more general solution. I

It also make it impossible to publish using CI, which is problematic for projects with frequent releases. And trusted publishing doesn't solve that if you use self-hosted CI.

Javascript is a standard with many implementations. Any addition to the "standard library" (such as it is) has to go through a long process to get approved by a committee, then in turn implemented by at least the major implementat

It depends on the state, but that is largely kind of already the case. At least in my state you get a significant deduction to your property taxes if it is your primary residence.

I don't know much about stenography, but that seems like something that would be trivial for a computer to do. And certainly something that would only have to be done once...

Technically, X is also just a protocol. But there was just one main implementation of the server (X.org), and just a couple implementations of the client library (xlib and xcb). There isn't any technical reason we couldn't have a

Not all agricultural animals are herbivores. Pigs and chickens are both omnivores. Also insects are probably good feed for some species of farmed fish.
