Shouldn't it be API rather than protocol?

Also my sympathies for having to support the so-called "S3 standard/protocol".

As past threads on this topic have shown, iPhone users prefer Apple be the controller of the device than the device owner itself. It is somehow understandable, but it is position I've often seen espoused.

> because it doesn't need to, Shared Nothing systems look similar, and the authors know exactly who the readers of this paper are ^_^)

I didn't understand this. Who is the author referring to, and what is he implying?

Not sure average individual can take webkit source and turn it into a browser.

Forcing users to a prebuilt Webkit, that they cannot change is definitely not the same.

I think this will be an interesting development. Give the high $-to-INR rate, and prices of apple products, it will always be a hard sell. Indian consumers won't be eager to spend multiple paychecks on iPhones and don't see Apple dropping prices. Unstoppable force, meet immovable object.

I am not sure why they are making this move, what are their goals for doing so.

Can't speak for OP, but generally this is mentioned during the sign in process, so it should be laid out. It is effectively all or nothing.

I think it works similarly on Android phones. Google policy for the Android Corp devices requires you to set it up using corp account, then add secondary personal accounts(if needed).

I am not sure how it compares but India suffers through the same problem. It is essentially a rat race. A lot of those problems could be trick questions, but to be able to identify it, especially on a regular basis takes longer(when the question has less than a minute dedicated to it).

I feel like a much needed accountability reset of police departments across the country got sidelined, after the BLM protests(George Floyd) that erupted turned into a call for abolishing them. I don't want to abolish them, and would be willing to fund them even more with better trainings in exchange for better accountability. The subsequent actions would've even fulfilled some of the asks of the protestors. The ideological asks kinda ruined it.

I think the take home exercises are a good middle ground.

I'd still prefer the whiteboard interviews, over what are sometimes knowledge-based questions that are a search away. Not the common stuff that you should anyways, but something obscure that if you spent 5-10 mins on its man page, you will get it.

Any focus on Dynamic Programming stuff? I myself prefer Python(as it very closely resembles pseudocode)

I think it is their software philosophy that I find objectionable, mainly in iOS and OSX. But their design and hardware is great enough to for someone like me to own a MB Pro, and iPad Pro.

Unfortunately, this kind of discussion ends up turning into a knife fight these days here.

I tried using HTMX recently for mainly a CRUD app for personal use, with limited dynamic loading. Still felt the need to rely on JS(Jquery) for loading images and triggering refresh on list of items without full page reload[1].

Did a small A/B test from dev POV using Vue.js, as it is one of the more lighter frameworks. Ended up leaning more towards Vue.js, as had to do some non-conventional(from HTMX POV)[1] things for a simple CRUD app not relying on full page loads/refreshes. Hopefully there is another step in this evolution.

A slightly tangential question, in regards to Bitcoin and Blockchain, that I (surprisingly?) haven't seen answered/asked: Blockchain is computationally intensive, but why does it has to be used for Bitcoin. There could be another solution, which achieves all its objectives, but isn't necessarily as convoluted. What am I missing? Why not just use SQL databases?
