That doesn't sound like the actual issue, or am I not understanding it correctly?

I think you’re correct. the reproduction isn’t very precise and the solution doesn’t seem right (I’m not seeing anything about the non-standard pages not being freed). I’d guess this was ignored because it was wrong…

This talk https://talks.golang.org/2019/playground-v3/playground-v3.sl... on the golang playground has some details on its security considerations.

Files get a "quarantine flag" set on them as metadata when downloaded on OS X. Gatekeeper uses this (along with the developer signature) to check if an app is "safe" to open or not. Not sure where this sqlite database fits in, but it's very likely related to that.

The why is the Mac App Store exempt?


Trusted/controlled source.


Not just the Mac App Store, by the way. CDs or any other way of getting the file on the Mac except downloading are, too.

That all makes perfect sense. It doesn’t provide perfect protection, but it does provide sensible protection.


This looks fantastic and the timing couldn't have been better for me. It's been a while that I started a new Django project and I was looking for exactly this type of best practices just this afternoon.

> Why would we have thought that they would sell the new adapter any different then the old 30 pin?

Before the new connector was announced there were rumours that licensing for it would be more restrictive. Also notice how you can't license MagSafe at all.

I'm not saying Apple's decision is the right one, but IMHO it was clear there was a risk regarding licensing.


They've been live streaming the iTunes festival too. I wonder if they are using this to test their streaming infrastructure ...


I'd watched some of that and was impressed they'd finally started trying to exploit the Apple TV for something. Maybe Apple will be moving towards additional streaming content, which is a good thing.


IMO directly viewing the videos in safari and not having YouTube.app hijack the links actually makes for a better experience overall.
