issafram··on Sprint, T-Mobile Merger Killed Wireless Price Competition in U.S.
I mean Sprint was strictly CDMA, so that would be an issue on it's own.
issafram··on Caniemail.com – like caniuse but for email content
Yes. It is used to let us know which HTML elements/features/etc are supported by different browsers/versions
issafram··on Uno: Create Beautiful Cross Platform .NET Apps Faster
How does this compare to Avalonia?
issafram··on FCC fines largest wireless carriers for sharing location data
Drop in an ocean. Should've done 5% of annual revenue. That would send a much bigger message.
issafram··on XZ backdoor story – Initial analysis
It was most likely done by a government. Not just one hacker.
issafram··on Twenty years maintaining the WiX Toolset
I remember having to use it at an employer many many years ago. The documentation was horrible and nothing was intuitive about the XML.
issafram··on Meta outage
Google Play Store also affected
issafram··on Meta outage
Seems like somehow YouTube is also affected? I'm starting to think that this is an attack of sorts and not Meta specific
issafram··on Supermium – Chromium fork for Win 2003/XP and newer
Only 17k commits behind Chromium.

Interesting project though

issafram··on iMessage with PQ3 Cryptographic Protocol
The regular SMS/MMS feature was removed and for good reason. Many people cried about it but it was the right call. Messages would not be E2EE and people could easily think all messages sent through Signal are safe when they weren't.
issafram··on iMessage with PQ3 Cryptographic Protocol
Which is ridiculous
issafram··on If architects had to work like programmers (1995)
He was being too nice
issafram··on JSR first impressions: a JavaScript package manager by the Deno team (2023)
Another one?
issafram··on Signal v7.0.0 with phone number privacy
The arguments against backups are incredibly dumb
issafram··on Rebuilding Netflix's video processing pipeline with microservices
It's pretty easy, just stream the results of ffmpeg. I could create a Netflix platform in one day.

/s if anyone took this seriously

issafram··on US developers can offer non-app store purchasing, Apple still collect commission
I did my first iOS development about a couple of years ago. Question, how in the world do you tolerate the storyboard XML files? One small change in XCode results in so many line changes. PRs are impossible to review with any confidence.
issafram··on Slashing data transfer costs in AWS
I've been looking for a place to store files for backup. Already keeping a local copy on NAS, but I want another one to be remote. Would you guys recommend S3? Wouldn't be using any other services.
issafram··on Outlook/Hotmail is no longer blocking my mail server
TL;DR emailed Microsoft a few times
issafram··on Beeper vs. Apple battle intensifies: Lawmakers demand DOJ investigation
I've got an idea. Apple could man up and create an android app instead of all this bullshit. They have been forced into RCS which will be huge, but they have already decided to keep the green bubble garbage. They will do their best to make sure the user experience is as degraded as possible.
issafram··on Mitchell reflects as he departs HashiCorp
Guy left and Terraform still has horrible logging
issafram··on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS will enable frame pointers by default
very allegorical
issafram··on Beeper Mini is back
That it's a proprietary system and Beeper reverse engineered it
issafram··on Beeper Mini is back
At what point does Apple start a lawsuit? I hope they don't, but I can't see them ignoring this.
issafram··on Henry Kissinger Has Died
About 100 years too late
issafram··on Google Drive misplaces months' worth of customer data
Check mate!
issafram··on Development of San Andreas (2003-2004)
"For most of the time development was manageable. Certainly less stressful than Vice City. To finish it off a good stretch of crunch was required. The company got a chef to provide a good meal for those working late. That really helped."

So it wasn't manageable at all. Trading in your time for food isn't worth it. Been there, done that. Work life balance is more important.

issafram··on Reflecting on 18 Years at Google
"We essentially operated like a startup, discovering what we were building more than designing it."

I guess that's how the chat apps were created as well

issafram··on Show HN: YouTube banned adblockers so I built an extension to skip their ads
Same domain, won't work
issafram··on Half-Life 25th Anniversary Update
Disappointing they never made HL3
issafram··on Apple announces that RCS support is coming to iPhone next year
Now give us the FaceTime app...
