My understand is the people behind passkeys are working on an import/export solution. Who knows when it'll happen though. For now, when companies let me have multiple passkeys, tha…

Yeah, I hate these. It's also a very not-ergonomic was to sign in. I wish those companies would redirect those efforts to passkeys.

Does the hash end in ...e63f2 perchance, or is it a different dump?

I feel like someone should spin up a separate GCP account, make a pile of projects, and then spam-add every google engineer they can find. Curious to see what happens next…

Google Takeout is actually reasonably robust. I create/download one of those fairly regularly.

For me, a big part of the value of typehints isn’t just the legibility, it’s also helping the interpreter to help me. I can have the interpreter tell me that a string got passed in…

Hi, So I've been an eng manager before, but I got given the responsibilities over time. For the first time, I'm about to be interviewed as an engineering manager at a medium-size p…

With all repeated issues the company is suffering with their product strategy, software quality, privacy issues, executive retention, etc., why are people still eager to join the c…

Gmail I believe is technically encrypted at rest, just they also happen to have the keys.

I mean, it was Bing not too long ago...

Google blocks domains from Chrome all the time, for the same reason as Apple blocked Google: it was deemed malicious. https://safebrowsing.google.com/

Google (or any company) wouldn't have a single point of failure for alerts like that. :P Those alerts would hit email, phone, etc. all at the same time.

No, Facebook/Google internal apps fall into two categories: - Utilities that are only useful to employees of those companies (cafeteria menus, shuttle schedules, resources for sale…

I don't think it's about remind them who's boss. Apple will revoke the certs for as long as is necessary to protect their users, but I don't think they'll stay revoked for punitive…

> The whole point of enterprise certificates was to allow creation of internal apps that even Apple shouldn't know about. I think most/all of the companies in the program would say…

Sure, and Facebook solely controls the messaging ability and photo storage for a significant percentage of their 2B+ users.

No, that's not necessarily for loading an app on to your device. It's only necessary for broader distribution.

From what I understand, it actually is a public app: https://www.tripshot.com/ https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tripshot/id1007192056?mt=8

>Ah, but you say: I must have signed a contract to use the app store... Except, no, I didn't do that either. Do you have an Apple ID? You need an Apple ID to download apps from the…

You can. Just give people the code, and they can load it on their device.

> Things don't have "terms". Sure they do. You want a gun? That comes with certain restrictions on what you can do with it. You want a car? There are certain restrictions on what y…

Not really. Give me your code, and I can upload it on to any iPhone I want, without paying a cent to Apple.

I believe Apple will do everything they can to keep them from abusing the ToS, but I also believe Facebook will try to work around any and every restriction applied to them.

I don't think you even need a developer license. IIRC, I think if you just plug your iPhone into Xcode, you can load whatever code you want on to it.
