Apple has degraded privacy online through Safari's cookie-preferential storage partitioning (i.e. site capabilities are penalized for using private localStorage instead of cookies)…

I hope that AI labs aren't going to wait for widespread distribution of malware encoding novel CBRN & AI info in its fundamental execution architecture (wholly preventing analysis …

I make privacy tooling and Fable 5 rejects the vast majority of my prompts to analyze and improve the software that I've written. It's bleak.

Manual string replacement with a hardcoded list of cases for escaping as suggested by the article isn't good advice for the use case of 'support inserting arbitrary text'. Do use C…

Judging by the graphics used in the launch event, it may actually be miniLED. Perhaps they aren't mentioning this so people don't compare their max 700 nits full screen brightness …

Where are you getting that this doesn't have a unified memory model? This laptop uses an iGPU with shared memory.

My main gripes: - There's zero mention of the display technology, just "2.8K Touchscreen Display" - The optional HDMI ("3rd Gen") adapter is only 4K 60hz, when the host chip has in…

That is not what I posted. My original post, accessible via the GitHub comment version history is "@addyosmani No problem; just remember that modifying someone else's code does not…

The notable part is the PNG file was copied exactly. He could have generated one himself.

Correct. He did not commit copyright infringement. Just plagiarism.

This feels somewhat hypocritical coming from Addy. Addy Osmani plagiarized my code and 'apologized' years later by publishing an article on his website[1] that he has never linked …

I don't see any mention of HTTP 204 or multipart/x-mixed-replace. Those are both very helpful for implementing rich JavaScript-free HTML applications with advanced interactivity.

They don't need revenue, they need a community. I don't know how this acquisition will affect that.
