Met Woz randomly at the San Francisco airport a few years ago[0].

One of the nicest guys in the world. Humble, kind, gracious.

I'm not apple lover, but safari support for PWAs is pretty good. What do you think is missing?
judah · a month ago
I work on PWABuilder, Microsoft's open source dev tool that packages PWAs for app stores.

I can say with certainty Apple has been hostile to PWAs.

Unlike Google Play and Microsoft Store, iOS App Store doesn't allow publishing PWAs. (You instead have to build a native web view app to load your PWA.) And many of the PWA features just don't work on mobile Safari.

Looks like it's done using standards-based web components[0]. The page says these components don't require any existing JavaScript framework; because web component support is built-in to the browser.

Nice to see devs picking up web components.

> Harvard recently released a 311-page report detailing these issues[0].

Can you be more specific about what was detailed in the report and where? Because the things you mention aren't in your linked article at all.

There were protests that got way too heated, but calling them "pro-Hamas students" has me, uh, doubting your take on this a bit. The highlights called out in your article are wholly different, focused instead on campus behavior that seems drawing back from embracing diversity and is instead alienating whole cultures.

> It's for this reason that the federal government is withholding its funding

We aren't talking about funding, though? We're talking about denying attendance by any international student.

Sure. One example in the opening paragraphs of the report: a Jewish student was set to give a presentation on how his grandfather survived the Holocaust and found refuge in Israel after the war.

He was told not to give the presentation because it would "justify oppression."

The report also details Jewish students were called out in classrooms, told they were oppressors, that their history is a sham, and that anti-racism norms do not apply to supremacists.

Protests on campus pressured Jews to disavow allegiance to Israel and the right of Jews to return to their historic homeland; Zionism. Those who didn't comply were harassed and deemed complicit in supposed crimes of the world's only Jewish state.

Pro-Hamas groups on campus disseminated cartoons of a hand with a star of David holding nooses around the neck of Blacks and Arabs.

After Hamas invaded Israel on October 7th, 33 Harvard student groups praised Hamas and blamed Israel.

Harvard invited commencement speakers who blamed Israel for the genocide in the Congo.

The Harvard page report contains all this and more, and found that over 60% of Jewish students at Harvard had faced discrimination.

On the contrary, the issue is that Harvard allowed pro-Hamas students to attack and persecute Jewish students. Harvard failed to protect the Jewish students, even rewarded those students who intimidated Jewish students on campus. Pro-Hamas students barged into classrooms with bullhorns. Camped out on campus and prevented Jewish students from reaching their classrooms, forming lines and locking hands outside of classrooms to prevent Jews from attending classes.

Harvard recently released a 311-page report detailing these issues[0].

It's for this reason that the federal government is withholding its funding: we don't want to fund open racism and race-based discrimination on American campuses.

Some of you cite your favorite strips. I will too.

Dilbert comes down to the caves where trolls (accountants) reside and gets a tour. The guide points to a troll sitting behind a desk, and mumbling in a stupor: "nine, nine, nine...".

Guide: And this is our random numbers generator.

Dilbert: Are you sure those are random?

Guide: That's the problem with randomness - you can never be sure.

Edit: Found it here: https://www.americanscientist.org/article/the-quest-for-rand....

And thank you, Scott - many laughs thanks to you.

And I don't yet see an entry for this on caniuse.com. I'm guessing this is super new.
