I feel like I’m taking crazy pills, did anyone read the article? He ran a CDN. Unless I missed something, there doesn’t appear to be any reason to believe he knew it was a “cybercrime ring”.

  On Feb. 15, 2023, EGodly thanked Coristine's company for its assistance in a post on the Telegram messaging app.

  "We extend our gratitude to our valued partners DiamondCDN for generously providing us with their amazing DDoS protection and caching systems, which allow us to securely host and safeguard our website," the message said.

This isn't about whether or not Coristine should go to jail for EGodly's criminal activities. This is about whether Coristine has the maturity and moral integrity to be accessing government systems.

I extend my gratitude to my valued partner loudmax, who has been helping me commit cybercrime for the last 20 years.

> If you are using M1, you will have to run cargo build --target x86_64-apple-ios instead of cargo apple build if you want to run in simulator.

Does this mean simulator will be run under Rosetta?

If you already have a domain and iCloud you can create an address on your domain very easily

i had no idea about this. thanks!

Similar but different https://www.zsa.io/voyager is my weapon of choice.

Please pardon my ignorance but why is it unlawful for DOGE to be accessing this data? I was under the impression they had proper security clearance and were given lawful access by the president somehow.

Here's my reasoning:

As per the US constitution, removing funding for federal agencies requires congressional approval. What DOGE is doing has not been approved by Congress. DOGE has removed funding for federal agencies, such as USAID. It follows from these three premises that DOGE is acting unconstitutionally.

Obviously, IANAL. I took it from reading various news articles. You can find more online quite easily.

as a hypothetical, if the prez defined 'proper security clearance' as opening up http (unencrypted) access and clicking OKAY on the website (or many with all this data), allowable to anybody on the internet to access said data.. would you be okay that it was happening?

my point is that "proper security clearance" is subjective, and as we are observing, (from what i read the other day) "clearance" is given to folks who would have never made passing the clearance checks in the very recent past (lol like a few weeks ago recent past).

is it all lawful? time will tell, and thats what EFF and others will try to decide - and good luck if any of that data is ever properly disposed of and not benefited from (aka insider knowledge).

Yeah I jumped into swift on Linux a while back having mostly used it on apple platforms and I couldn’t even tell anything was different. A few years ago I would’ve had to struggle with SwiftNIO but not nowadays. URLSession, Codable, etc. all there on Linux (not sure about Combine but Combine is stupid in the Swift 6 world IMO. Swift concurrency is better in almost every way).

Swift on Linux (except NixOS) is actually very good nowadays. There’s even a libadwaita library that feels a LOT like writing SwiftUI.

Feels like a lot of folks were turned off early on, found something else, and never bothered to try again (which is fair).

I also have a dim view of Combine and Swift's shitty observation regime, but what does its concurrency have to do with it?

Swift Concurrency as a feature set includes async/await and async for, which solve a large part of Combine's same problem with better safety and less setup/teardown. These days Combine is still useful, specifically for multiple observers and several cases of adapting to older event publishing sources.

Combine is for setting up observers to changes, whereas Concurrency is for async operations. I don't see the relationship.

Why would you look at it “per year” when speaking in terms of “per president” other than to say “except trump”

Because not all presidents have served for two full terms. Examining things while ignoring the time period over which they happened does not a meaningful analysis make.

In that case, neither metric is appropriate, and we should be looking for the trend per presidential term.

O(year) ≈ O(term) / 4

(Assuming that all terms are the full 4 years long, which happens to be the case for all of the presidents being discussed in this thread)

Why would you not?

Brew winds up hogging an inappropriate amount of disk space on every system I’ve ever installed it on. I switched to nix recently and haven’t had that problem yet.

That being said I haven’t investigated and it could be user error. But brew can absolutely bork your shit

Having it cache a bunch of crap to your disc isn't exactly "borking your shit". Just delete it. There's probably some settings flag you can export in your shell .rc to control that behavior, but its so not a problem it hasn't been worth my time to go look up how to do it.

If you think this is bad, try an Apple TV app! A lot of the platform APIs, like the one mentioned in the article, are still in objective C and really beginning to show their age. The worst is when you want to do something in SwiftUI but the platform APIs are UIKit (‘:

Sheesh, it's not that bad! 10 years ago the same things were considered the nicest app APIs to work with in the biz, spawning the whole ZIRP app ecosystem.

I guess if people feel like you do, I'll stay employed.

No shot this is _ever_ what is actually meant by ‘if urlA == urlB’

Well, remember, this is Java, so `if (urlA == urlB)` just does standard object equality, the IP lookup is only done for `if (urlA.equals(urlB))` :)

This is Java, so you should always do `Object.equals(urlA, urlB)`, on the off-chance urlA is null!

(I do not miss working in Java haha)

It's still insane behavior. This implementation is effectively a sharp edge in the dark. Have fun.. :-/

Yes. Use the newer URI class instead if you want a value object without “smarts”. URL instances also contain a URLStreamHandler, which means that two URL instances that compare equal can still have different URLStreamHandlers that handle the URL differently. Instances of the class URL are really service objects.
