The risks are not symmetric. If the RAM crisis becomes the new normal it threatens Apple's business model which requires large quantities of RAM. On the other hand, if Apple invests in RAM production and prices fall, it's not like

No RAM, no profits. Apple has vertically integrated in the past for less reason than this. Moreover it's a massive economy of scale, while their consumer electronics competitors are busy fighting a losing battle against the server mark

The problem with cloud gaming is that there's too many ways for it to go wrong and only one way for it to go right. It's hard to explain to normal people that if you have a stable internet connection and live relatively near t

Shopping on TikTok is a thing. That said, nobody is going to buy a laptop for buying clothes.

Yes but they didn't do it properly. They only allow unpublishing if there are no dependants, which means it can't be used to pull a package version for security reasons. It should be that within the first X hours you can pull a ve

The obvious solution is that unpublish should be available within a time window after a new version is published and then unavailable after that.

The corollary of this is that if you are a local you should do some more touristy things. I don't mean to go to a tourist trap and get scammed, but just enjoy your city a little more and do some things that usually only tourists do. Fo

Oh, that sucks. In any case, Gatekeeper is mostly intended to save grandmas who are at risk of downloading random malware from the internet. If you're a developer who is reasonably aware of how computers work you might as well disable

How would you even know the second request is different? Hash every request? That's a waste of resources. The only sensible policy is to trust the key.

Yes, I should have just said "explorer" or "inventor" rather than theory builder which is too specific. Grothendieck is a better specifically for building theories. Conway is famous for his various ideas and inventions s

There are three species of mathematicians: The first species is the pure problem solver. Tao is the poster child for this group. Their currency is interesting problems and solutions to those problems. The second species is the pure theory b

I completely agree. The situation before the "Web Platform" was the "Windows Platform" where you had to give money to Microsoft to use a computer because few developers wanted to make cross-platform software, and almost

The issue with email is that too little is specified, and is instead just left up to providers and clients. This specification vacuum forces centralization because the only way to build essential usability features is to own both the mail s

It's weird to fire people instead of giving them training.

Bullies certainly can be intelligent. Intelligence and sadism are orthogonal traits. The only thing that unites bullies is the willingness to inflict misery on others. A bully could be a simple thug who uses violence because they have nothi

by zarzavat 6mo ago
This is naïve. This will just lead to the victims of bullying getting caned after the bullies set them up. A bad person sees such a punishment as an opportunity to intimidate others.

You do you but most businesses if given the option between supporting OAuth to reduce friction on signups, or only supporting password auth, will choose the option that makes them more money. You don't have to use a 3rd party service f

I'm not doing this unless it's something essential. I already don't bother with the Cloudflare ones half the time and just close the page.

It's about responsibility. If I get pwned because my AI agent wrote code that had a security vulnerability, none of my users are going to accept the excuse that I used AI and it's a brave new world. I will get the blame, not Anthr

Perhaps I've missed a few weeks worth of progress, but I don't think that AIs have become more trustworthy, the errors are just more subtle. If the code doesn't compile, that's easy to spot. If the code compiles but does

Apple prioritizes price stability over price competitiveness. They will happily charge formerly eye-watering prices for extra RAM and their customers will less happily pay them. On the other hand, Apple rarely change their prices after rele

You don't generate images, you just embed SVG nodes in the DOM. From the browser's perspective SVG and HTML elements are just two different types of element. SVG is not great for text - HTML has more features - but for display tex

There's simply no reason to be using Google Chrome in 2026. Purge it from your computer and install a less user hostile browser. Google Chrome just exists to make Google money at your expense, to sell your data and deplete your battery

This is the issue I have with the big screen, there's just nothing I want to watch. Meanwhile if I watch at home then there's half a century of classics that I haven't gotten around to watching yet.

Acquisitions in this industry tend to lead to a certain inevitable conclusion. The software that has been acquired gets worse as the original team members cash out and their culture is replaced with the culture of the new owner. Perhaps Bun

Why not just write a small helper library to add back the features you miss? Node includes SQLite and Argon2 at least, if the issue is the interface then that is easily fixed.

I suppose it's true that the left-wing equivalent is the Palestinian flag, or the centrist equivalent is the Ukrainian flag, however this usually comes in the form of a sticker or the odd flag flown from a house window here and there,
