While the delay does disappoint me as a user, I can definitely understand the "give developers more time" angle. It seems doubtful to me that big ad tech hasn't already been working on ways to circumvent this policy and it feels like a few extra months won't exactly make a world of difference for them. I do hope this gives the "little guy" more time to rethink Ad strategy to not involve tracking.

I have worn a large number of different hats and I am comfortable and happy working on any part of the stack from the systems level up to the UI. I have a particular passion for ops and system design work. i.e. I like fitting all the parts of a system together. Confident in my ability to learn and quickly become productive in new areas as well.

An immediate problem I see with this is the realistic estimates problem. If you go to your average deloit/accenture customer and offer them the services of this anti-BS'ing boys club collective, and then deloit swoops in and says they'll do it in half the time and tick every single checkbox in the massive excel RFP including the contradictory requirements and the requirements that flat out make no sense, then guess who is likely to the win the bid? In the end it will be your deloits and your Accentures that win and then predictably the project will run long, not tick every requirement, and end up costing double.

Imagine for a moment that this ends up being something state-sponsored or that twitters entire DB gets dumped, private accounts and all.

This could have a profound impact on governments who want to target dissidents if somebody for example, only felt comfortable criticizing their government from a protected account...

I don’t think that would perform very well without some hardware support for it as well. Not an expert on this by any stretch but as I understand it modern virtualization is almost always hardware accelerated which I can’t imagine is a viable option if you’re translating the binaries with Rosetta.

You could make the argument that they've made at least a partial transition since the 2008 64 bit UEFI with the whole T2 ARM co-processor thing.

The thing is, the probable first set of targets in a war with Iran would be air defense targets. “If it turned out to be a hostile missile” that could mean imminent death. It’s very possible the air defense operator panicked and acted out of perceived self preservation.

I feel very conflicted about this. This man has an insane amount of blood on his hands but I cannot help but feel anxious about what happens next. Iran's paramilitary forces have entanglements in Syria, Lebanon and Yemen... this seems to be the type of thing that could spiral into a regional conflict if cooler heads do not prevail.

Hmm I briefly looked at it and I am certainly intrigued. I really like the simplicity of await blocks, but I have some reservations about the template syntax, namely that it reminds me a lot of angular.js. Syntax like

  {#each cats as cat}
reminds me of ng-repeat, and of course there are other similarities.

I'm not necessarily saying that that's bad, but as a matter of personal preference I tend to prefer the html-into-JS approach of JSX / React over what is essentially implementing a subset of javascript as part of the template syntax.

I don't like that you have to ask what parts of javascript you are allowed to use within a template.

I don't know if this crosses the line into scary for me simply due to the fact that it can be turned off. Based on what I just read nothing would stop me from switching to the "No Security" mode and installing whatever I want.
