That refers to the icloud scanning, the idea being that if the hash database contains propaganda, people uploading that propaganda to icloud could get reported by their own device.

Except this would require consent of the abused partner when creating the account to set an age <13yo. You can’t ser this to other accounts on you family remotely.

Well, it’d be kind of dumb to make the mistake of building a system to stop child pornography only to have it become the biggest distributor of CP photos in history

Call me crazy, but if your 13yo is sending nudes, I think that as a parent you want to know that. Current society is pushing a lot of adult behavior into kids, and they don’t always understand the consequences of their actions. Parents can’

After some testing, I can fix the use with a VPN. Looks like the problem is relatively local (Barcelona area maybe?). Switching to nordvpn in Madrid fixes the issue too..

I find this ridiculous. If you force me to use email login, I’m going to feed you a burner email (thank you fastmail!) and call it a day. The difference with AppleID is that I get a much better experience, my device automatically does what

And yet you ask your users to trust Apple and you and another developer for each app they use, I’d rather just trust one party, and have a single entity to complain to.

It’s a shame it doesn’t cover any language I use with the technical preview. Something tells me copilot can be a big win for very verbose languages like C, where most code follows very specific structures.

I find that very unlikely. I think the result will be similar to what has happened to the electronics industry. For those who aren’t aware, PCB design used to be an automated task, done by software with minor tweaks. The thing is, complexit

Yes, part of the “art” of stacking is choosing a location where you can easily create a mask that covers the sky but not the ground to avoid blurry artifacts, and then blending the two sections seamlessly.

It’s likely that some of them are constructed through “stacking”. The technique is easy to pull off, with software built for that specific purpose. You take your N long exposures, and then have the program map the movement of stars around y

It might be just the write up, but the article reads like he was playing with the benchmarks until he got a result where Java was faster. I don’t think anything malicious has happened, just pointing out that benchmarking is hard, and changi

Minimum wage is ~12k€/y, so bartenders get basically that. In Spain for people >25yo unemployment is around 40%, which obviously means you get a lot of competition for stable jobs. Spain in general is very anti-business, especially

Here in Spain I’ve seen people with +20y of experience contracting for <25€/h. Salaries for senior devs range from 30k to 50k, with very little exceptions.

That’s quite a dramatic statement. Let’s be honest, most of the “research and published stuff” is also crap. The majority is built out of reposting things from those “untrustworthy” places, or from “interviewing experts”, that 9 out of 10 t

I try to do the same, for me WSL has been a godsend, because at work I’m forced to work on windows (a lot of engineering tools are windows only, and some of them don’t work nicely even with fully virtualized environments). Having the script

I disagree. Building complex solutions that you don't really need is also "bad engineering". Part of the complexity comes from the fact that the needs that software projects solve are not fixed, they change during the product

I’m not going to tell you how to live your life, but IMO, if you are at work just clocking your 8h, you should consider switching. Also, if you think you are attending too many useless meetings, it’s your responsibility to let them (or at l

It’s actually quite little. Most modern CPUs run at ~1V, which means 20A ~ 20W CPU. Ultrabooks are able to pull off 45W, so double of that.

Interesting examples, but starting at 50 employees sounds a little bit extreme to me. I also find way more insightful how you get from x founders to 50 employees than from then on.
