a gift, or a test?

the rust devs wanted to CREATE official structure definitions that don’t exist in C so that there was more semantic meaning to the APIs

it sounds like you don’t understand protest

it serves the purpose to mock the request and make people think about the absurdity

in the same way that a request for a “white history month” should also be mocked - it’s just straight up trivialising the whole concept

it’s not just complacent - it’s worse than that - it’s dehumanising… it’s active; complacency is passive

once you lay deep sea cable, afaik you don’t really touch it again… it’s better to just lay another one

original comment still stands:

I’m not sure it’s devil’s advocate: I work with computers for 40 hours a week. There’s no way that I want to put any effort into a computer in my personal time

this is not linux and android. this is apple

in the context of this comment - not putting any effort into a computer - customisation and workarounds are irrelevant

you’re completely right, but only bank sanctions are relevant to the majority of people, and really are bank sanctions relevant to most people???

however, that wasn’t the point you were making in your original comment

there are no distros or combinations of software that come close to what mac/iphone/apple tv provide even WITH effort; let alone without. they have other benefits, but ease of integration is not one of them

oracles lawyers are pretty bad too

it’s possible, but that would seem… odd… for such a large and tech-savvy instance. there’s a lot of reasons why this isn’t a good idea, and very few technical reasons why it is

my guess is that it’s less about obscuring server location for privacy reasons as is the implications in this thread, and more about handling changes cleanly or something like that - in which case, sure it obscures the server location but more that it makes the server “location” (or hardware, etc) irrelevant and fungible

a reverse proxy these days is pretty much just a requirement of any dynamic service. they often run on the same host as the software

well, there’s a schema description built into compliant graphql apis and a tool called graphiql that consumes that and provides exactly that api explorer that you’re looking for. many graphql backend frameworks embed graphiql

he also hated non-skeuomorphic design, and yet here we are for the better in a world where we’ve moved on from that dated concept

just because he didn’t like something doesn’t make it wrong for apple to pursue

i’d say that it’s a security vulnerability, but breach implies it’s been used

i don’t think you understand how IT works… there will always be vulnerabilities… even the NSA probably has vulnerabilities… when found, these vulnerabilities need to be patched. i’m sure they’ll get their devices back; they just need to implement a fix

none of this is perfect, but shit happens and all we can aim to do is minimise the damage when it does happen

definitely not what people are talking about when they say front end though

that’s not an alternative. i agree that’d be preferable, but given where the situation stands, what’s the concrete action to take to remedy the situation?
