GraphQL is less complicated than querying dozens of interdependent REST queries.


I assume the pirates are using Tor or a proxy anyway though?


It doesn’t seem like the pirates who were described in the article were behind any kind of proxy, which is why the ISP Frontier repeatedly wrote them to desist. They were pirating on the clearnet without any obfuscation. Pretty dumb and easily the lowest hanging fruit for copyright enforcement.

Using Tor for streaming or large downloads probably won’t result in great quality or quick speeds. Using Tor for browsing and seeding on private torrent trackers is also typically banned for security reasons.


Well they don’t need Reddit to see who is seeding. But posting to Reddit can easily be done through Tor or proxies.


I once discovered that a very large org had AD configured in such a way that you could see “last seen at” timestamp for everyone profile in the company.

It would have been trivial to track everyone’s hours using this, which would likely have been unpopular.


Why do we need a templating language at all? Syntax is inferior to data.


How do you suggest we display that data in a web page?


But if x is an int, the result is an int

If x is a list, the result is a list

I don’t think that the type system can describe this.



You probably should have your dog belted in to a chest harness.

Check your insurance policy.


Even with the chest harness, she can switch seats. You have to put the seatbelts on the empty seats as well, but that makes it harder for her to lie down comfortably.


The hardware is better because of RnD, funded by high margins due to software lock-in. Not sure why people struggle to see the connection here.


Nobody "struggles" to see something that you literally made up. The original iPhone and iPad were literally global news and that happened before they ever did anything like this.

I am sure it made them a rich company, but they were going to be rich anyways. They also hoard money like fucking crazy, so it's not like it's all getting spent on R&D.


How would most things work on such a small screen?

I think the Apple Watch will become increasingly standalone.


There was also much more low hanging fruit back then. Making significant contributions to a field only required scratching the surface.


This feels more like a defense for some mid like a Plato than a Wittgenstein or Kripke.


That is said in every field at (almost) every time.


Just create new fields.


I once would have agreed with you, but the advertisements and pushiness in Windows are simply unacceptable at this point.


Given that I have not paid for Windows in almost 2 decades, I am okay with a little bit of advertising.

All of my Windows PCs just work. And I can stick pretty much any hardware and they just work.

I can't say the say for any of the Apple devices that my friends own, all of whom have had to have them replaced at some point.


The EU is fixing that as well - we'll soon see the privacy version of Win 11 launched in the EU as well.


That's cool and all, but I either can wait for that to happen or not happen (which is not a certainty), or I can just use macOS (or a flavor of Linux).

Sure, the EU will fix things like they've managed to do in the past with other internet-related stuff (e.g., cookie notices). And I will definitely re-evaluate this take once things change in terms of ads for Windows. But until that happens, I don't see "the EU will fix that" as a valid point in favor of Windows.


The ability to disable the "news" panel is already in preview, it will be released by march

That’s nice, what about those OneDrive and Microsoft365 ads they added in an update last year?


This is the problem. Microsoft does not have a strong product function in Windows so no one can push back on this bullshit in the first place.
