The version without those 5 lines will now be forever out there though. Malicious peers can download the apk and get the premium version for free. This feels like a poorly thought out design on Google's part.

>Two weeks ago TechCrunch called on Instagram to build an equivalent to Facebook’s “Download Your Information feature so if you wanted to leave for another photo sharing network, you could. The next day it announced this tool would be coming and now TechCrunch has spotted it rolling out to users.

So we've moved from companies trying to make compliance to GDPR look like they are doing us a favor out of the goodness of their hearts to now tech sites trying to take the credit for that too. Who will be the next I wonder.

The fact that you don't need to optimize something doesn't mean you shouldn't.

There was no real alternative for facebook. There is one for snapchat and it's called instagram stories. The way I see it, snapchat will lose even more users to instagram while at the same time increasing their per-user revenue. What's left to be seen is whether the increase in per-user revenue will make it up for the lost users.

Considering the url of the article reads "rules", it's probably OP that editorialized.

People are reporting problems on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/7hzy3a/macos_10132_u... with the update. Anybody here tried it yet?

1. When you are in maintenance mode and you still manage to introduce more bugs than you are fixing then your are doing something wrong (usually that's a result of limiting the budget of a department and as a consequence hiring less experienced developers)

2. Every new feature the last few years has been ported from iOS and without much care. I still can't believe they have yet to make Siri and Spotlight one unified product (at least make Spotlight more powerful, I can't even set a timer with it).

Did we watch the same WWDC? macOS is in maintenance mode no mater how they try to mask it and still somehow I keep experiencing more bugs with every release. At least they are going to update their hardware this time around huh? Is that what passes for "being focused on macs" these days? Last year was like they completely forgot about us, this year they are throwing us breadcrumps.

EDIT: Since I keep getting the same replies, I'm gonna edit it here too:

And to add to this, being in maintenance mode doesn't have immediate effects. If Apple continues like this somewhere down the line macOS is gonna end up quite behind (and a big mess due to points 1. and 2.)

It doesn't matter if the technology exists (which it does) what matters is if the vendors will cooperate (which they won't).

Still, if performance is actually comparable (for which I have my doubts) that means we could get ARM laptops which could easily sustain it.

Google is a monopoly in the search engine market and monopolies are heavily regulated.

While an unpopular opinion, I believe Python has lost its way too. "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." - yeah I don't see it and that used to be one of the reasons I loved Python. They used to at least try for that to hold true, not it's like they try for the opposite. I much prefer Go these days.

If you believe that you are doing web design wrong.

Well they are called bugs and they exist in every software. It's not like they did it on purpose.

You can't really say that when they have been around for 16 years.

The younger generation or even people newer at the internet never learned how valuable those boards where. IMDb failed with the newer generation and that's why they are shuting them down (the fact that they have to spend resources to keep them up doesn't help either). The comments here (up until now at least) are a representation of their failure as everyone states that nothing of value was lost and most didn't bother with IMDb's boards ever (Hacker News' biggest audience IS that younger generation).

They do as the supply of the final pieces is low and if they go offline the torrent could die. Happens a lot in less popular torrents.

Go old school and use a tape, it should work just as well.

In short, they provide a good enough Unix experience in a machine that just works™. Or used to, depending who you ask.

I would recommend a Surface Book. Even if you don't plan to use it as a tablet at all it still beats every other laptop on the market. Initially it had a lot of issues but now they have been fixed and it really is amazing.

It's in development in WebKit, it has been for a long while (the author just noticed it now and went with the full-of-assumptions article for the ad money) and it means absolutely nothing. Yeah, it will probably (and hopefully) one day end up in Safari. On the other hand, it also wouldn't be the first time WebKit had a feature that Apple chose to disable, especially on iOS Safari.
