I think I figured it out when I experienced a repeating crash in the drop down control in the network settings, and then looked at the crash report, there was something about localization in the backtrace, so I removed the file in an attempt to fix that and after a logout/ login the weird lag went away too. In my case the file had the value for UTF-8 and something in Tahoe’s text system goes into a loop when that file is present. I’ve had the same file for ages because it fixed a problem with pbcopy/emacs interaction. I wound up working around that issue with an env var once I realized that the file was causing issues.

AI;dr

I was seeing a bug that was very similar to what you describe! I fixed it on my Mac by deleting the .CFUserTextEncoding file in my home directory.

That’s funny, the local mom and pop chocolate shop by me uses the nfc wallet pass feature from iOS.

/\ \ */ is the same as / +/, but if you only want to replace 2+ spaces and leave the single spaces alone, then what you really want is /\ \ +/.

Edit: had to escape the spaces because HN ate my spaces.

I don’t pretend to know GP’s motives for putting it that way, but if I was going to put on my evil hat and kill off a gaming company/division I’d also put a woman in the hot seat. Not because I think women don’t understand gaming, they do; nor that I think women can’t run successful companies, they do; but because a large chunk of the gaming market is openly misogynistic and would root for the failure outcome I was orchestrating. Hell I’d even throw in some kind of golden parachute deal because that would enflame the trolls even more. People are easy to manipulate, and that’s quite possibly what’s happening here.

I’d love to see a source for that.

Well thankfully I don’t live in that broken country.

No, you very much are not.

The kid behind the counter at most places is neither paid nor trained enough to identify if the digital card in my phone’s wallet comes from their app or if I made it myself.

As long as it scans they don’t care.

My local backups certainly cost more than $180/year just in hard-drives alone.

Honestly the laws don’t consider open source operating systems at all. They’re meant for the overwhelming majority who are using commercial operating systems. They imagine something like android or iOS or windows where yeah they ask the question during user creation and then handle the age gating in their app stores, anything outside that model isn’t something they’re going to spend any time thinking about, because why would they?

Unfortunately you probably need to think abou this from the point of view of an anti-fraud/abuse team. How would you differentiate between a business that had an employee go rogue and a business deliberately trying to cause harm and get away with it?

Claiming you fired the party responsible isn’t very convincing, honestly, especially if it’s hard to verify: was it an alias? did the employee only exist on paper? are they still around just not “employeed”, were they a designated patsy? Nor are claims that you revamped your security, which doesn’t address the root problem of whether it was intentional behaviour or not. And what’s worse, the natural urgency and appeals to emotion that you include in your story are unfortunately widely used tactics by scammers to try to get a human to bend rules to their benefit, and reviewers are trained to treat them as such. You need hard evidence.

How can you demonstrate that you didn’t know what the employee was doing? Have you reported the employee to the police? Is there a criminal case you can point to? Simply having a bad process before could very easily have been an intentional way to avoid knowledge of wrong doing, another common tactic used by criminal orgs.

Best of luck.

I don’t care what your website does, not one tiny bit. I care that the majority of websites are shit, and therefore the web platform should be as minimal and isoltated from the device as possible.

Absolutely nothing listed on that site as unsupported by Safari has any business being part of the web. In fact several supported APIs should be chucked too. Fuck giving websites motion data or push notifications.
