In every single one of your responses you've omitted the possibility of there being an option for people to run sideloaded apps while allowing you the ability to stay in Apple's safe embrace.

Just like you say "we can use Android" why can't we say "you can just stay on the app store"?

I'm not a vegan but beans and rice go a long way.

I don't get why on Hackernews anyone would ever defend Apple here. Regardless of whether they're right to do this if Epic wins their court case against them we stand to gain the most benefit. Apple's incredibly high walled garden is honestly the scariest thing for me. If I develop for windows I can simply distribute my application on my site easily. With Android I can tell people to download from F-Droid if necessary. With MacOS We're nearly at the point that Apple will tell us and users what we can and cannot install or develop for the system. iOS and iPad OS are already there.

Epic caused their own pain here, sure but What other way can we actually get a semi open platform that we're not being taxed on? Why can't we as users and developers have options on iOS? I think that if an operating system allows third party apps they should be _legally_ required to allow other app stores, sideloading of programs without penalty for doing so, or both. That goes for any platform, developed at any time by anyone.

I have been completely at a loss for anyone defending Apple while hoping that Epic loses their fight. The first makes sense but the second is absolutely baffling.

bug: if you hit back after going to the add images page after landing on the dashboard you get served a blank page.

Still exploring.

Looks cool, Zillow is similar but it unfortunately makes you sign up first. I like this.

On an unrelated note, how did this link get onto the front page with only 3 points? How does the ratings thing work here?

Don't combine money laundering with denying services to people who do things that are distasteful certain other groups. Legally free speech, pornography and weed payments are also banned on platforms that go through the normal payment processing routes. The weed issue is because of federal laws but I don't know the full reason behind the other bans.

One quick example: Patreon vs Sargon or Patreon vs artists that produce works with nudity. In these cases, things users were banned for did not happen directly on their platform and weren't even mentioned on their platform. I list them because they're easy to google but there are others.

Do you consider those situations to be something other than censorship?

The male chick's death was planned for. These weren't.

Nice how browsers have trained people to be scared if there's not a lock. It's just an expired cert, not revoked, and you're not entering payment information.

How else am I supposed to read his tweet? He asked what happens if his site goes viral directly after asking for the extra users feature to be blocked. I think it's ridiculous to look for some finely grained charging scheme from a start up.

"fairly polite" email, eh? That's actually a very reasonable business practice of asking then charging instead of just making a site go dark.

The Ghost CEO should have taken the higher road and there's no excuse for expunging your site but you were definitely being a dick first. I won't be using Ghost and I would try to avoid having you as a customer as well.

That digit span test is incredibly irritating. I've done it 10 times by now and I can't get more than 9 digits.

On a more philosophical note, I've wondered if there are some outstanding math or even societal problems that could've been solved already if humans had the capability of holding onto 13 or 15 more things at a time rather than just 7ish. It always feels like we're going to be limited in some way with regards to that if the problem is incapable of being broken down or collapsed.

This is Sweeney's doing. You really think he's going to stop at a deal just for Epic? He has a righteousness streak that a lot of people seem to not understand and I don't know why.

I'm going to be blunt here and say that you're wrong. There is no difference. The news may be curated and may be for a specific audience but the odds that it's just as useless to you as mainstream news is still very high. I don't say this to criticize, mind you. I'm here as well.

After I've been programming for an entire day I will rely on the compile to tell me when I'm wrong with an assumption. I'm honestly trying to conserve mental energy so I've learned that it's better to do it from the start and avoid keeping track of as much stuff as possible in my head. The compile tells me something's wrong somewhere and I go fix it and move on. That's not detective work, at least it doesn't feel like it to me since it's so quick.

I beg to differ. Without this pandemic and current US president the odds of us seeing the BLM movement would be nil considering the consistently slow burn that we've had over the past decades.

Now that the swing has been so great in one direction more people will vote and more people will care. I don't like it but that's how it's working. People who are tired and apathetic lack the impetus to enact meaningful change.

Eh, I think they're pretty different. The one you posted uses raw string literals. HTML++ uses string literals inside of the template declarations themselves by using a c++20 feature. I'm still not sure why this feature exists but it's fairly cool.

This is an opinion unsupported by anything. Don't submit this crap please.

I'm not sure why you would put any information about yourself on a public forum and expect it to not be permanent. Do people actually have that assumption? I fully believe that everything said here and anywhere else on the internet is being slurped up by some random guy/org's bots.

That's not paranoia btw, believing otherwise would be incredibly naive. So no, I am not upset and I don't think I should be upset. I think you are the one with unrealistic expectations. If it's on the internet it is permanent, gdpr be damned.

>don't have to be distributed via the Mac App Store.

I didn't know this. Thanks.

>Safari appears to support IndexedDB

This is also news to me and makes me pretty happy.

>Safari for iOS does support extensions

This really makes me wonder how they handle the UI. I'll check it out.

I still don't understand why you're linking that. Can you be more specific?

It's still gimped.

No blocking requests.

"Unlimited" storage (which is necessary for most non-trivial extensions) is actually limited to 10MB.

You're stuck in Apple's app store which is equally as draconian as Chrome's and Firefox's but now you have to pay $99/year.

No IndexedDB.

The extensions aren't usable on mobile.

I care little for Safari's users if I have to deal with all of this.

Thanks for releasing a fix. Not trying to butter your butt but I really enjoy VLC.

They tried it. Normal, non video game playing people had trouble with the controls. Not to mention wasd doesn't work on mobile.

He missed two that I think are really important.

1. Arraymancer https://github.com/mratsim/Arraymancer

2. The new version of the garbage collector understands move semantics to optimize its reference counting so unlike Rust where you have to deal with it yourself Nim will handle it for you at the expense of a reasonable amount of memory. https://youtu.be/yA32Wxl59wo?t=855 Watch the whole video for more context if you care.

I think it's a really nice language, too many pragmas but still really nice.

You're missing the point. Why do you think you get a say in whether their opinion has any weight? As of right now their opinion of how it should work IS how it works until all of their wasteful bytes are rendering and animating in your face.

Producers don't care, they want you to see their content if you go to their site.

One important thing that was not mentioned in the article: gifs automatically play and are not easily stopped. Videos have more knobs on the client side to tweak whether it plays or not. If I use a gif, I know with great certainty that unless all images on the client are blocked they are going to see my animated content. There are tons of extensions and browser features out there that attempt to stop that feature from videos.

I hate bigots as well, but I hate your kind of thinking even more.

This isn't the way to go about this, dealing with idiots or not.

Hey I've been wondering this but are the transaction costs also waived or is it just the bandwidth fees? I feel like if both are gone it'd be hard to make a profit...
