Why is it you feel the need to defend a trillion dollar company?

Because thirdparty keyboards are equally bugged. Sometimes keyboards simply fail to show up or cover app content without rhyme or reason. This happens across multiple thirdparty keyboards so it must be an ios issue.

It's hardly surprising when a large percentage of HN users will whiteknight a trillion dollar company whenever EU tells them to stop anti-competitive practices.

Tell that to my keyboard that doesn't show up half the time and the other half covers random parts of the app

Centralising it is definitely the wrong way to go about it.

It'd be much better to train an agent per citizen, that's in their control, and have it participate in a direct democracy setup.

You're conveniently omitting these all happened in response to the full scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.

But thanks for proving the point about Russia's disinformation war.

That just goes to show how big the rift in the western world has grown. I'm European, so to me healthcare is not a luxury no.

Planes transport more things than people, like organs for transplants. Are those a luxury too?

As someone who has a garmin watch and switched from android to iOS I can tell you it's exactly as crippled as the article spells out. So if anything garmin has a healthy smartwatch business in spite of apple trying their hardest to choke competition.

New comment by Zagitta in "Rust’s worst feature"

Zagitta — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 14:25:50 +0000

Maybe Rust needs another type of reference that's exclusive write only? Right now there's RO (&T) and exclusive RW (&mut T) but WO is missing.

Having a WO reference would allow these read_buf APIs to express they only write and never read so the uninitialized memory is safe to pass directly.

And in a similar vein have they audited the runtimes of all the languages they use? Because those a dependencies too and in many ways even more critical than libraries.

New comment by Zagitta in "Pico 2 and RP2350 launch with choice of ARM or RISC-V"

Zagitta — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 17:55:38 +0000

It seems like a really strange choice to me that they made the arm and riscv cores mutually exclusive in each core complex since this just wastes die space on the core you're not using which in turn drives up the cost.

I feel like it would've been preferable if they either went all in on riscv or at least made it so all 4 cores could be used at the same time.

But if I were to guess the performance of the riscv cores probably doesn't match the ARM cores so they weren't confident enough in shipping a pure riscv SoC like espressif does.

Any other guesses as to why they might've gone this route?

Orrr just buy a domain and get a wildcard LE cert? All of the benefits, none of the hassle, and no subdomain leaking.

Have you not heard of remote-id?

It's a legal requirement for drones above 250g to broadcast not only their position but also the position of the operator and their identification number.
