Props to them for making it this far into the crisis without raising prices.

It had even led to some anomalies where Apple machines were a better price than similar Windows machines.

Are you saying US data centers idle in the night rather than serving European/Asian users?

Jabber/XMPP was designed around persistent TCP connections. Push notification support came too late.

Still feels like an alpha version right now. I'm sure they will add it later.

Graphite (which they seem to be inspired by) has frozen branches exactly for that use case:

Congrats on the payday :)

Do you think Anthropic might request you implement private APIs?

I think you should disclose that you work on the Google Chrome team in a post like this.

ActionScript 3.0 also had types way back when Flash was a thing.

(ActionScript was based on ECMAScript like JavaScript.)

I think that’s what he was getting at when he said:

> Most allowed are owned by large companies.

He was implying that big companies are not in the business of selling their extensions. Smaller actors are more susceptible to this.

Apple built Core Data on top of sqlite. There are probably a lot more Apple apps using it than just Safari and Notes.

Can confirm. The only SMS I ever receive is from bots (mostly OTP codes). I can't remember the last time I received an SMS from a human.

Didn't they already port the Photoshop engine to ARM? As far as I remember the iPad app shares the same engine only the user interface is different.

Intel's Turbo Boost specification only allows for a few seconds of boosting. Of course you can overclock (letting it run longer than stock settings) if you have better cooling or if you won the silicon lottery.

Furthermore, I think the advertised Turbo Boost 3.0 frequency is single-core only. It will not increase all core frequencies to that level unless there is sufficient thermal headroom.

Even my Galaxy S7 Edge from 2015 came with an undeletable Facebook app. Why is the article portraying this as a recent development?

Maybe some of your users block Google Analytics/Mixpanel while not blocking Facebook ads. For example, because they are using the mobile app or because Facebook ads are harder to block...
