One thing I don’t see mentioned here is the possibility of additional profiling by disabling web fonts. Doesn’t this make you more more unique as a user since very few people disable web fonts? I suppose you could argue that many users ca

Sure! It's not very well organized (and may be out of date) but here's what I have: ### Commands - Disable GateKeeper: `sudo spctl --master-disable` - Disable Library Validation: `sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences

Gatekeeper, AMFI, Quarantine, Library Validation and probably more (those are just the ones I have in my list of commands to disable). I guess "non-optional" is inaccurate but every new macOS update I end up googling why some app

Is there a way to disable the scanning that doesn't involve disabling SIP which prevents you from running iOS apps? macOS really seems to try to frustrate power-users with these non-optional security features. I even had to make a sepa

From my experience the bigger frameworks may have support for non-CUDA devices (that is not just the CPU fallback) but many smaller libraries and models will not, and will only have a CUDA kernel for some specialized operation. I encounter

I really don't think people use google/facebook/etc. because they're concerned about web security.

Is this assuming they build in client-side reporting functionality? In this case it’s not E2EE anyway. Or are you saying it’s not E2EE unless the clients are auditable?

I’ve had to log into google/fb/etc so many times through in-app browsers when I’m already logged in in my main safari browser.

I don’t love phone based identity but it’s wrong to say it has no benefits. While it does lock you out if you don’t pay, at least you won’t be locked out by accident since you can generally prove your identity to the carrier. This obvious

As an iPhone user, it’s very clear that it is done intentionally. The shade of green hurts to read.

It’s a pain for iOS users as well. I have a friend with an android phone I want to message. We all have issues with the various 3rd party apps but her phone has solid RCS support. My iPhone does not (and cannot) until Apple implements RCS s

by upbeat_general 4y ago
If you don’t care about the additional RCS features, then aren’t you saying essentially SMS is fine? Do you prefer iMessage just since it is more secure (compared to sms that is)?

by upbeat_general 4y ago
This is just wrong because as others have pointed out, you can have a fully virtualized macOS environment with no secure boot or any kind and iMessage will run just fine. Also, since basically every device that receives message also receive

My Toyota app apparently provides insurance quotes based on my driving behavior (until I saw it in the data privacy section and disabled it). Was turned automatically on with the connected app (that I do find useful so I have it enabled). I

If you read the article you’d find out the opposite. That Chrome continues to lack support for trailers.

In this example, I tried to get my relative to use the built in macOS scanner but they refused, both because they were already used to the brother software and because they apparently called Brother support somewhat often for various issues

100% this. Even the people that I know that due much less complicated things would have tremendous issues. Editing a PDF in Acrobat, downloading some scanning software, etc etc.

My biggest gripes with Protobufs is the language integrations. Why do I need to convert and typecheck back and forth between the proto object and the native dataclass. This was the situation in kotlin (and I believe Java) as of about a year

Isn’t NY one of the best subway systems in the US? I’m not saying it’s good but it’s certainly better than most other US cities meaning it’s close to the best transit vs driving comparison in the US.

This is pretty simple, there’s really no need to give direct steering/throttle control. As an option, it’s good to have, but any real system will default to higher level commands, e.g. drive to this location, pull over, etc.

I’m not sure that drones are any better than cars in terms of recharging, not to mention local regulations. The 360 cameras are cheap but getting things accurately localized (if you care about that) and having LiDAR like google has (also if

Another issue is backwards compatibility. With microservices, you have to keep your old endpoints open until everyone has migrated, and make sure the new endpoint is always available when upgrading. Much simpler to verify with tests with a

Does anyone know of good tutorials for CUDA programming incl debugging? Especially one that also covers the recommended way to bind w/PyTorch? I've always found writing CUDA kernels to be a bit unapproachable.

I think that would be rather pointless. From using Mathematica/The Wolfram Language, the cool part was not the language design but the powerful functions. It’s not like wolfram language code is particularly widespread so better/op

One of the more frustrating parts of Safari is that it is tied to the OS version. Besides the obvious security issues, it means a long(er) delay between a feature being available and supported by most users. Even with iOS’s good update adop
