    I mean, I would have thought the context was clear that that’s not really what’s being discussed. But if not, then sure, if you just have files backed up, then all you need to worry about is making sure you have enough copies of that as you need to not lose it.

    I mean… you’re the one changing the context. they literally were stating what they were doing with their backup, and you moved the goalposts. not even the original meme image implied it was about whatever the hell you’re on about.

    No, you’re the one in a conversation that’s really not about your type of situation.

    We’re talking about businesses who have servers - internet servers, internal servers

    ok so you just started your own conversation without telling anyone then. yeah now it’s clear why you’re arguing with them like that. No one said anything of the sort until you came along. Their comment was a top level comment on a meme image, that has nothing to do with business requirements or servers. You’re just making up the conversation and pretending like TrickDacy was “in a conversation that’s not really about [their] type of situation”.









  • Yeah it’s pretty crazy, like Ruby was extremely well known for how good its tooling is, so much so that it inspired numerous other language package managers and build tools like elixir’s mix, rust’s cargo, and the lock files in npm and composer.

    The testing frameworks everyone uses today are directly descended from Ruby’s RSpec, almost to the letter. BDD and TDD were pioneered by Ruby devs.

    Extension functions in Kotlin are a direct result of lessons learned from Ruby metaprogramming while Rust and Elixir’s syntax are both directly inspired by Ruby.

    The beauty of Ruby’s DSLs also spread to almost every new language. Kotlin and Gradle DSL scripts are possible because of Ruby.

    Rails inspired an entirely new paradigm of web frameworks, where things were supposed to be easy by default. Laravel, Spring Boot, Phoenix, Django all are directly inspired by this, even though Django came out first it wasn’t easy to use.

    Python gave us… Jupyter notebooks, whitespace which no one uses, and not much else.





  • I thought this was well known. That’s why I don’t understand people using whatsapp at all. On android and ios products from the same company can access data between different apps, breaking through the sandbox. So if you have WA and FB installed, FB can see the data in WA and then send it in plain text back to meta’s servers (or encrypting with a key they have access to).

    This does not mean that WA isn’t e2e encrypted. That’s why this spokesman can say:

    “Any claim that people’s WhatsApp messages are not encrypted is categorically false and absurd,” spokesman Andy Stone said in an email. “WhatsApp has been end-to-end encrypted using the Signal protocol for a decade. This lawsuit is a frivolous work of fiction.”

    And be completely truthful, and yet the lawsuit also be completely truthful. If you can visually see it on your screen then Meta can have access to it if they wanted. You have to actually trust the company behind the software as well and it needs to be open source and auditable and that still isn’t necessarily enough. WA already doesn’t meet two of these requirements so why in the world would you trust it at all?

    Here’s an article talking about this on iOS. https://iosbrain.com/blog/2022/05/24/beyond-the-sandbox-using-app-groups-to-communicate-between-ios-or-macos-apps/
