Lies, there is no search query or visit logs in exported data, I do not believe that you aren't storing it, so compared to GDPR request this is useless.
In comparison, qemu does emulation of literally every hardware that there is and it is only 1/3 more code, and it is without counting code required to run nodejs, docker, postgresql, redis that is dependencies of this image catalogue software.
I'll take the high level language developed solution that I can use now over a low level language version that would reach feature parity with this 10 years from now.
What's current way to accessibly process my 23andme raw data ? It's been synthesized decade ago and SNPedia and Promethease seems abandoned, so what's alternative if there is, and if there is none how we arrived to this?
I was no longer on the scene when it happened, but I’ve been told it became very difficult to get ongoing funding from the National Science Foundation for bioinformatics software around 10 years ago. You could get an initial grant to develop something, but ongoing support was difficult. So websites and ‘databases’ (curated datasets) that made it easy to run the tools faded away.
This further surprised Mr. Baig, as WhatsApp, which is known for its strong security brand externally, had such a small security team of just 6 engineers, and they were all only working on this tiny aspect of application security. All the other teams in WhatsApp were well staffed. The engineering team had about 1200 engineers. In addition, there were about 100 product managers, about 100 product designers, nearly 200 data scientists, etc. WhatsApp overall had about 3000 employees.
“Are we going to be in the same situation as Mudge at Twitter?”
WhatsApp is way beyond just texting and calling, it is basically global infrastructure now, used daily by governments, NGOs, and billions. This is not a startup screw-up, it's a public utility gone seriously messed up. Heads need to roll. Stop playing god. Secure the platform or step aside.
> had such a small security team of just 6 engineers
≥ Company refused to allocate more than around 10 engineers to the Security team at any point
If true, this tells the story here with security culture at WhatsApp. Assuming a backlog of known weaknesses (as any established code base will have), and the velocity that 100 PMs and 1200 SWEs implies, how would you do anything as a security team besides stick your fingers in the figurative holes in the dike? The ensuing conflict between Baig and his superiors about not fixing stuff is surely going to result in an assessment of "poor performance" but is likely just Baig giving a f** about user data.
Could you share what is your motivation behind doing whole domain and web hosting ?
Personally I feel that this whole AI induced problem should even exist in the first place, but even then it is ridiculous, that you have to query some web api to solve this problem, why not just publish parsed and converted to .md set of local files and be done with it.
I agree, it'd be great if Apple provided accessible documentation in the first place. Time was, Apple published self-contained docsets that you could download and read offline.
Apple's ToS pretty explicitly forbid the kind of automation required to download everything. But even if someone did that, it'd only be a snapshot in time. And a lot can can change between OS releases.
As for the hosted web app, I wanted to provide this as a public service. I plan to open source it, so anyone can self-host instead, if they're inclined.
Yeah, pre Swift documentation was very sufficient, dense and locally explorable, since then documentation started to resemble .h copy pasta without comments.
This is probably just marketing gimmick with unique angle and born from aspirations to sell you subscription based SAAS/PAAS/coding_agent that is supposedly not like every other agent out there.
Also, I do not believe in magic carpets.
Also, I do not want even more higher-abstraction level that will come with even more layers of bloat.
