Software security can be thought of as operating on a cost/benefit model. To produce secure software means making attackers spend more resources on penetrating defences than the value they get from successful attack. And it works well

I think it is better to use real humans for checking violations and sending emails. Yes, humans inevitably will make mistakes. However, unlike a neural network algorithm they can be reasoned with and can correct their mistakes later. I&#x27

Maybe I'll be laughed at, but right now I consider the most competitive Apple's development environment the Swift Playgrounds on iPad. I just so wish to see this sleek and fast app replacing old cranky Xcode on macOS by adding mis

There's a good post on HN about what it cos Apple to make OS X a certified UNIX. Due to the secrecy of the project they had to use non-corporate accounts for committing bug fixes. The amount of changes was pretty big, but nobody except

You certainly can. `print(String(flag.reversed()))` in Swift reverses emojis correctly.

That's just sad. Personally, I can't go back to displays with low DPI. Too much strain for my eyes.

I agree. The symbol combinations may have different meaning depending on where they appear. Replacing raw symbols with ligatures will create confusion. I was using this font in Rider when JetBrains made it the default, but gave up after sev

Can't wait until metaverse will fail to lure gamers. The hype is on par with NFTs, in both vitality and lack of substance.

I don't think Sony has anything against GamePass on PlayStation as long as Microsoft pays its revenue share. After all, there's EA pass on PlayStation.

Are you sure everything that Activision / Blizzard publishes will be on GamePass day one?

It's not magic but it can block a deal.

There's a difference though. Tencent doesn't dictate its studios how to conduct business. Microsoft on the other hand made Bethesda leave PlayStation, which negatively impacts their revenue, but plays into the hand of Microsoft.

That's maybe a good argument for a product manager, but very poor one for the end users. Users don't like slow and bloated. Given equal choice users prefer small and fast. Of course, they are okay with Spotify client, because ther

Not everyone. There are people with compromised immune systems, who can't be protected with vaccines. They are at the mercy of vaccination status and masks of the people around them.

Because vaccinated people can still get infected and transmit the decease further. It was evident with delta, and obvious with omicron.

Not wearing masks in all social settings is more a cultural thing than anything else. Just take a look at the streets of Tokyo now: someone without a mask is a pretty uncommon sight.

Most likely he wouldn't. The second statement is false equivalence. The equivalent comparison would be "if you took someone from the assembly line and make them CEO, would Apple's cost grow 1000% in ten years?"

I don't see any contradictions. There are day jobs, and there are 24/7 jobs. Someone working 9 to 5, 5 days a week isn't supposed to answer the phone after the work hours, that constitutes employer abuse. If the employer want
