If that were the case, then why do they spend millions of dollars on lobbying every year? Why does Meta have a "president of global affairs" plucked from Republican political circles? [1]
While working on a small atproto OAuth client I discovered a neat service worker pattern that I don't think I've ever seen someone write about. The page makes normal fetch requests, and the service worker adds the authorization header and handles token refreshes/dpop retries/etc under the hood. https://tangled.org/jakelazaroff.com/atsw
You're putting words in my mouth. "Public health" deals with social problems regarding health, but it's a subset of "health" which also includes problems that are not social in nature.
There are absolutely social issues around vaccines — how do we fund their development? how do we distribute them? how do we convince people to use them? — but as a technology I would say they solve a problem that is mostly independent of human relationships.*
* Obviously, you could say that vaccines actually do solve a social problem because pathogens are often passed between humans, but I think then the definition of "social problems" becomes so broad as to be meaningless.
Sure, but many people use Safari, which runs that exact same WebKit engine under the hood. So if your app is available in the browser in addition to Tauri, you have to support it anyway. And at the very least, you as a web developer should be used to supporting it.
This point of view always confuses me, because web developers already need to deal with platform differences. Especially if your app app also runs in a browser, like Slack and Discord — at that point, what issues do the differing system webviews cause that you don't need to deal with anyway just targeting browsers?
It's also funny to me as someone who's been building websites for 20+ years at this point, because the platform differences used to be much, much worse. Coincidentally, I just saw this article, which makes the case nicely: https://www.bram.us/2026/06/21/do-websites-need-to-function-...
No one is defending outright buggy animations. OP is just saying the idea that every frame should make logical sense on its own ignores how animation actually works (and they're correct).
We do this in cartoons as well. Check out this Spider-Verse animator breaking down a shot of Gwen drumming. [1] If you look at individual frames, there are all sorts of details that make no logical sense. In one frame, she actually has three hands! But it looks great if you see it in motion.
They have a gazillion such blocks today. If they still have a gazillion such blocks in a year, sure. But presumably the plan is to replace them with safe Rust.
Right, but the point is that you now have an explicit todo list of blocks to fix. You can trivially enumerate all sources of unsafety, and when a grep for unsafe blocks turns up empty you know your codebase is memory safe. When could you say the same about your Zig or C/C++ codebase?
I'm writing this as someone who doesn't even really like Rust; I'd probably prefer to write Zig! But those unsafe blocks definitely buy you something.
