> it moves the responsibility for name resolution from the operating system to each application

Browsers only took on DoH implementation directly because they were solving the cold-start problem for a new protocol. Nothing to do with the spec.

There is support for DoH in all major OSs today, but none have made it a simple box to click AFAIK (we could speculate why).

For macOS, iOS, either via Private Relay (paid) or a configuration profile. Premade profiles: * https://github.com/paulmillr/encrypted-dns

For Windows > In the Registry Editor window open: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters > Right-click within the “Parameters” folder and create a new Dword (32-bit) Value. Name this new file “EnableAutoDOH” and set its value to “2.” * https://superuser.com/posts/1764668/revisions

No opinion on this particular package. But on the naming, "Apache" ECharts...

It's long since time that Apache foundation projects stop using the Apache name. Apache is a license, a foundation, a webserver. Apache supported projects have little to do with that - not the same people, not the same product area. Just some help with money and logistics.

And for those that argue the tie to the Apache org:

They're not CNCF Kubernetes, CNCF Helm, CNCF Jaeger. They're Kubernetes, Helm, Jaeger.


> They're not CNCF Kubernetes, CNCF Helm, CNCF Jaeger.

Maybe they should be?


Counterpoint: the product vision that is already on display here is going in a great direction, and colocating a spreadsheet with your accounting app is a great idea. I love the idea of being freed from having to use excel for particular aspects of my accounting flow. You've got the export. People that want to keep their painful workflows can be masochistically happy.

This is clearly not an attempt to replace Excel, it's an attempt to accomplish a set of use cases in a better way than clunky export-import flows.

The in-app sheets look great, keep going!


Thanks for your kind words.

This is exactly how we think about this too.


"...the chatter in the legacy media about AI being in a hype cycle or bubble is simply wrong, and why understanding just a little bit about where the advances in AI capabilities are coming from shows why. Continued AI acceleration in the coming months and years isn’t guesswork — its baked-in. There are persistent, reliable processes behind the steady advances as we’ll see."


And not a word of protest was uttered.


Macron has been advocating for a European Army for around a decade. With the recent EU defence spending announcements the idea of a unified command structure in Europe is becoming likely.

The French offer to extend their nuclear umbrella seems to me to have two purposes:

1. Deal with the immediate vulnerability opened by questions over U.S. Article 5 commitments to NATO

2. Try to get ahead of potential nuclear weapons proliferation among other EU states


Also selling weapons. What this idiot of Trump seems to have missed is that countries have been purchasing weapons to the US to actually purchase US protection (like Australia did when they cancelled the submarine purchase they did to France to purchase US ones instead). Now that the US has announced being an unreliable protector, there is probably good business opportunities for all the countries that are nuclear powers and big arm dealers (such as France).


Depends on the weapons.

Certainly France is competitive when it comes to ships and many expendable munitions, but they aren't selling F-35s and the US is, and so far it seems that the juice is worth the substantial squeeze when it comes to that jet. The race is largely for second, because first place (the Lightning) is so far in front of the pack.


European countries like Germany have been purchasing F-35 for the main reason that it's the only plane which can carry US nuclear weapons, which is mandatory for Germany to carry its obligations to participate to NATO nuclear defense [1]

They will hopefully purchase Eurofighter or Rafale or whatever else in the future.

[1] (fr) https://www.lemonde.fr/international/article/2022/03/15/la-d...


We have ITAR-free Rafale. And for better or worse, we don't "vendor lock-in" our planes.


That juice is poisonous. The plane may be alright, but it is no longer a wise strategy to build security using US equipment, unless you are the US.


The F-35 is an expensive, very criticised (even inside the US) plane and the US notoriously have some kind of backdoor to it. It makes no sense to me that the EU would buy F-35 other than as a way to give money to the US ("buying protection").


F-35 is cheaper than the f14 converting, so not a good argument, the high selling numbers of it help drive the price down


My point was that the F-35 is more expensive than European planes which don't have a US backdoor.

In fact I think it was the US army that complained about the F-35 being way too expensive.


3. Repair the French economy with "defense" industry $pending.


I don't think (2) would really work out in practice. I have hard time believing that France would use nuclear weapons if one of the smaller states gets attacked. At the end of the day, when SHTF, you're on your own and Putin or some other aggressor might well call their bluff.


"Democracy depends on free speech, separation of powers, and smartphone camera design.

These technologies are tied together in a chain of trust, such that each layer verifies the next. In iOS systems, this chain begins with the Boot ROM, which is a piece of unchangeable code that is the first code to run each time the system starts. Each of the later pieces of software that are loaded are signed in a way that can be verified by the previous layer. So the Boot ROM can verify the bootloader’s signature, which can then verify the OS kernel signature, which can verify extensions and device drivers, etc. The real way it works has further protections and complexities, but this is the basic scheme.

Wouldn't it be great if smartphones became unassailable sources of truth?"


no...people are voting for convicted felons...do you think they care about sources of truth?


Actually kind of terrifying in a fascist context: Leakers, witnesses and whistleblowers recording evidence could be identified and persecuted with such a scheme. Kinda like how reality winner or whoever got busted by those invisible dots marking which printer was used to make copies of secret documents.


Actually this is addressed in the article. Unique signing keys per capture or per short rotation period.


I sympathize with the operators of these forums of course -- the UK Online Safety Act is poorly conceived.

HOWEVER.

Deleting their forums? "The act will require a vast amount of work to be done on behalf of the Forums and there is no-one left with the availability to do it." [1]

This is a false dichotomy. Put Cloudflare in front of the site, block UK traffic [2], and you're done. 5 minute job.

I don't know the detail here, but in many of the discussions I've seen the operators themselves are based in the UK, and that changes the calculus.


Yeah, GP is, to put it charitably, not understanding the situation.

"Throughout the last week, DeepSeek’s legend grew, with each new thread on X seemingly competing to explain a new way that DeepSeek’s R1 means the end of the line for OpenAI, Nvidia, Meta, Anthropic, the U.S. AI industry in general, and proves the uselessness of the U.S. chip export controls. That escalated quickly."

[...]

"Dylan Patel of SemiAnalysis, one of the best-informed semiconductor industry analysts, reported back in November 2024 that DeepSeek had 50,000 Nvidia H100’s4 , an export-controlled GPU. And there’s not a lot of mystery about how they got there: Almost a quarter of Nvidia’s revenue is coming from Singapore, and Nvidia Singapore PTE Ltd is headquartered in… Hong Kong5 . The evasion of export controls includes chipmaking equipment."
