If I understand this correctly, since MUSL's USP is static linking of musl-libc thereby removing any dependency on breaking changes in glibc, we now have the ability to build with the exact same compiler and generate stand-alone binari

It is refreshing to see Cuomo actively woo Amazon back, despite direct opposition and PR blitzkrieg-ing from the likes of Alexandira Ocasio Cortez. The state of NY & NYC could use the projected 25,000 jobs (at an average of $150K), $4 b

I don't understand the response. India deserves terrorism now? You swing from "but they inaccurately blame the state" to "they deserve it because ...".

What a convenient non-argument. Would you term Pakistan's willful hiding of Osama Bin Laden [1] as state policy, or attribute it to non-state actors? Now, imagine if Pakistan neighbored the US, and not only hid, but provided financial,

Ah! So for Pakistan to be "playing with fire", India would merely need to withdraw it's stated "no first use of nukes" policy? All you're doing is legitimizing a rouge state's rouge excuses for threats of

I don't know about Pakistan, but the Indian military is not a trivial adversary for China/Russia to "raid". Russia also sees no benefit to raiding India, as the two have historically been closely allied. Also, how practi

Yes indeed! India should pay heed to an opinion hit-piece authored by a citizen of the West with no connection to on-the-ground reality in Indian Kashmir, or India. The truth is patently simple: Pakistan's ISI (it's version of CIA

There certainly is a danger of monopolization with chrome garnering an overwhelming majority of user share. However, I'm yet to see the negative in testing with chrome and shipping (assuming you're only using W3C APIs), as most of

The military also buys iPhones, and Androids. What phone do you use? That very phone was probably used to order a drone strike! Did you use GPS technology this past week? That was the tech guiding the drone to it's target. And this thi

The comment seems to suggest some special secret sauce so damn specific to the x86 Arch that final cut pro simply stalls without it. This is inaccurate. Video editing - a DSP heavy compute scenario, probably benefits from a few SSE/SIM

That's not sideloading, is it? It is just developer workflow to enable testing with a wider audience without actually submitting to the app store. By sideloading, I mean the ability to install and run a binary downloaded off the intern

Can you please elaborate on this. Can a developer distribute iOS apps signed with their own certificate, that iOS will seamlessly allow to install and run?

One way is to explicitly prompt the permission-requests prior to actual syscall invocation (as against at install time). The user can then choose to approve or deny. For instance, if a file-manager app is asking to read your SMS, you can op

All of this could be prevented if Apple allowed sideloading unappoved, but non-security threatening apps. Like when the Steam gaming app that posed zero security threats, that I very much want to use, got banned by Apple for posing a compet

With Apple, if the adversary is a nation state that is willing to fight to affect it's bottom line, Apple just falls in line, like an obedient lap dog. Cases in point: China iCloud & Saudi app that tracks women - in both cases Appl

WASM's biggest claim to fame is providing web development access to non js devs. Having done C for a majority of my life, the ability to build and execute C code for large scale web deployment is appealing!

yes - ARM ISA is copyrighted. To implement it, you need an ISA license. ARM typically makes this license cost almost the same as the license for an already implemented core, which is why most vendors drag-and-drop ARM cores into their des

This is less about morals than it is about modern Western Civilization, and human rights. Given how Google and Apple are products of modern Western Civilization that benefits from human rights, it's a fair demand to expect these compan
