God the self importance of this community. The world can live without the 1000 people here.
Corps like Google or Apple are so big that the amount of HN customers and their friends/relatives are a drop in the ocean. This is just a PR mess for them, that's all. They mop it up and move on.
You've got to be kidding me. When Apple's servers are down, all Macs worldwide start freezing randomly? My XCode is hanging during builds, is this why? This code signing enforcement stuff has gone way too far. Heads should roll for this.
Code signing is an okay thing as long as the signing identities don't get discriminated. Android has had code signing ever since it was released, but you always generated the certificate yourself, and the purpose was simply to stop someone else from making an apk with the same package id that would install over yours and gain access to its data. The thing Apple does, on the other hand, with trusting themselves more t…
> I'm mostly libertarian, but if I ever become a president, this would be one of the first things I'd make illegal, right after shortening the copyright term to like 3 years.
As a libertarian I can see the argument for getting rid of presumptive copyright (and tanking the US economy), but the government preventing people from entering into contracts that you don't like? That's just hypocritical.

So yesterday I wrote about the blurring lines of ownership, and people came back with some fairly disparate responses. It's fair to say that I was mostly dismissed. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25058952 And this is why I won't be moving to Apple silicon. Apple already has the ability to restrict whats apps I can run (they can simply toggle a switch for all users to "no unsigned binaries"), and congrats! Apple…
My Huawei Matebook Pro has been everything I wanted in a Mac, in a way I couldn't get from Apple. Pros that Macbooks don't have: USB-A (along with USB-C), no touch bar, 3:2 screen, can enable secure boot if I choose so feel like I'll be able to run whatever I want on it, replaceable SSD, etc. Pros that Macbooks also have: still has a great build quality, full day battery Cons that both have: Non replaceable RAM

A compelling way to enact change at large corporates is to vocally communicate when and why you are forced back into a buying position as a customer. Apple VPs who are listening, especially Craig Federighi - here is an early warning for you. The HN crowd may seem fringe, but they are living in the future. I de-Googled my entire life over similar transgressions by Google and several of my friends are gradually going t…
Microsoft saw that Macs were eating their lunch regarding developers and researchers when e.g. nearly everyone doing AI was on a MacBook or Ubuntu. You had a hard time getting Tensorflow to run on Windows because no one in the community really cared. Also everyone developing applications in the cloud was eventually targeting Linux as the production OS, which is a pain if your development OS is pretty much hostile do…

You can't go wrong with a ThinkPad. I switched from Mac to a T480 with Arch for dev work and it's been great.
If they brought back taller displays I’d be right there with you.
Unbelievable. When I read the tweet (tried to post here as well), I suddenly realized why my Mac was unresponsive an hour ago. Here is another tweet that describes the problem in more detail: https://mobile.twitter.com/llanga/status/1326989724704268289 > I am currently unable to work because macOS sends hashes of every opened executable to some server of theirs and when `trustd` and `syspolicyd` are unable to do so,…
So when you open an app, how else are they going to check whether the certificate is still valid or whether it has been revoked?
Can anyone confirm whether this lookup applies to unsigned as well as signed binaries? As far as I know if I build a brand new binary with cargo, and run it, it doesn't do any checks.
First, just trying to get the system updater to display: https://i.imgur.com/waEF4kc.png
Second, after downloading 12gig of new OS: https://i.imgur.com/4HKMkPJ.png
I guess I should wait a few weeks.
