Comment Seems like a justification to keep HR employed (Score 1) 205

In my current job I went through four interviews over about 3 months. Lucky for them they came to me while I was already employed by somebody else, so they could take as long as they wanted. Unemployed people have mouths to feed and bills to pay, so they don't have the luxury of time to waste on such shenanigans.

Same here. Just be aware that Blu-ray can still screw you after sale, though: internet-connected Bluray players can download key revocation lists denying you access to the content you already own and, apparently, Bluray discs themselves can contain key revocation lists to do the same (though I've never encountered one).

Choice is expensive. Every choice they offer has to be supported. If hardly anyone uses it and those people are not willing to pay anything for its maintenance, it's hard to justify spending money maintaining a feature.

Riddle me this, then... take a look at the screen shots and tell me why:

  • The Edit/Cut/Copy/Paste menu items are removed.
  • The Zoom/-/100%/+ menu items have moved below Find In Page...
  • The Print menu item moved above Save Page As... and Find In Page...
    • Who the heck uses Print more than they use Zoom and Find options? How are clipboard options no longer relevant?

How can people keep making web sites with these stupidly obvious flaws? The slightest amount of reading will tell you not to do this.

People keep making these mistakes because they don't know any better. They don't know any better because none of the universities or MOOCs teach anything about security, taint, or protecting PII.

If you follow the any of the sql-related tags on StackOverflow you'll see dozens of developers every single day posting code in their questions asking "why doesn't this work?" and probably 95% of the supplied code samples are vulnerable to SQL Injection issues. Little Bobby Tables won't be without a job in our lifetimes.

Comment Re:What business is this of Apple's? (Score 2) 100

Neither Steam nor Epic operate a mobile app store, so I fail to see the relevance.

"By focusing... on 436 specific games that are sold in both Steam and Epic's store, Apple seeks to take discovery into whether the availability of other stores does in fact affect commissions in the way [Epic] allege."

They really should be subpoenaing data from Google, who does operate a mobile app store, and does actually have competition from other mobile app stores for the Android platform.

Apple has allowed enterprise/third party app stores for at least half a decade now.

Not really. What you're trying to call enterprise app stores are for internal apps only. They're still code signed by a certificate from Apple's CA and if Apple learns that you're distributing apps outside its Terms of Service (basically, internal apps only no public access allowed) then it revokes your code signing certificate which breaks all of your app installs and prevents you from deploying new versions. This is exactly what happened to Facebook when it started giving public access to some of its "research" apps and Apple revoked its certs back in 2019.
