I think the author has it wrong, what the author sees as a "barrage of angry or ecstatic reviews" is actually a rich array of personal experiences waiting to be interpreted.

Traditionally, this interpretation has been done wholly by humans, and was a long and laborious task. However, we can now do much of the manual work with NLP [1] - discovering topics of concern and measuring the prevalence and sentiment. This lets us ask the dataset useful questions, like "What issue is angering customers most?", and "What features should we be talking more about?"

It's a move towards a much, much wider sampling of customer experiences (compared to focus groups), and I think it should be celebrated for empowering companies to make products/services that consumers really, really like.

Tragedy of the commons is a significant issue. So, if land owners allocate space for them that’s fine. But it’s not legal to leave random junk in public spaces because there is simply not enough space for everyone to be doing this with anything.

Further, public parking is rarely free, it’s being payed for somone and often that’s not the city.
Double quotes keep getting less and less effective -- Google is progressively ignoring them more often when similar results are available. Worse, I've seen Google tell me that a term in double quotes simply doesn't exist on the web, when other engines will return many thousands of results. I seriously doubt that the competition has a bigger index!

This is what finally put me on using DDG.
The question will be: how will developers respond to this lower commission? Will it result in cheaper games for the end user?

Personally I'm being conservative, that the Epic Store will lack of a lot of features upfront and need a higher advertising budget, and some additional support costs if I have to self-administer cloud saves (eg. via AWS) if Epic don't have that feature yet.

So I've budgeted for about 10% lower sales, 50% increased advertising spend, about $10k extra development costs. I come out slightly less profitable than Steam, but I calculate that the risks of launching on Epic are much lower, since there's a chance that the game can just flop and die immediately on Steam on launch, whereas at least on Epic I have the boost from being selected. Plus, the potential upside on Epic is much higher.
All you have to do is link dynamically.

I wish I had your experience. But I switched from Chrome when Quantum came out, and it felt like a big downgrade in performance. And I feel that is still the case these days when comparing Firefox and Chrome. Granted, I hadn't used Firefox prior to the Quantum release for a long time because of the performance so I likely didn't notice the improvement as you did.

I just wish it was better, because while it does get annoying at times, I do want to support Mozilla :-/

This is the first comment I've read in this thread from someone who actually "figured it out". It's not rocket science: move out of Manhattan, ride a bike, learn to cook, enjoy the finer parts of NYC.
I've seen some other sources mention that the new minimum wage is actually "$27.86 an hour, which translates to $17.22 after expenses". [1]

What they consider "expenses" there isn't specified, but that would put their estimate for driver costs at over $10/hour. Which actually seems more reasonable, given the cost of fuel.

I wasn't aware of Apple's example; that's Apple being smart, not Samsung being stupid. Stock photos being used for simulated product images has been common nearly forever.

I'll agree that maybe the time has come for that common practice to be changed. Camera companies put prototypes into selected professional's hands to get early feedback and images, maybe the phone companies should do the same.
I mean, strictly speaking everywhere has exactly as much history as everywhere else.

As for China, there was a concerted and largely successful effort to destroy its cultural heritage during the "Cultural Revolution", by the party that remains in power today. Hardly unbroken.

This is just the process of NYC trying to drive Uber and Lyft out of the city and to force them to be expensive and bad like the taxis that existed before them.

After a few years when they get bad enough they can start to blame the poor quality on "private corporations" and people will eat it up. Then they'll outright ban them and they'll be back to taxis.
Does anyone have a feel for how good flutter's documentation for canonical approaches to common use cases are now? The last time I tried it, even a simple task like changing the UI when returning from a login screen was unknown territory for many developers. The examples in the documentation were all for single screen simple apps. Has this changed? Or is the community still trying to figure out best practices?

Tokyo has no street parking. You will occasionally have someone idling their car at the side of the road for long amounts of time, but they have to be inside the vehicle.
I consider what you are describing to be the fundamental difference between federated and peer-to-peer software.

Email is federated. It was designed to accommodate many hosting providers, all of which could interoperate and communicate. But it really isn't expected that every user will run their own server. The same goes for HTTP/HTML.

Gnutella and TOX are P2P. They were designed such that every client is a server, and there are typically no centralized servers apart from the clients.

There is value in both types of systems.
Don't forget that Epic has built-in 5% affiliate commissions, which they will cover for the first 24 months.

This whole thing will get huge advertising and popular support, developers will just need to take advantage of it.

I'm sure there will be some great exclusive games on there too.
The Chinese government has overwhelmingly reduced death and misery within their borders. Half a billion people moved from third world to first world. Half. A. Billion.

And their big foreign policy power play consists of building infrastructure for other third world countries. Turns out you can do that for 10 countries cheaper than invading one.

Yet the popular opinion ever since dragonfly was proposed is that they're the worst country ever. How about some perspective?

> "I have the cake you don't unless you pay me" is very distinct from "You are not allowed to sing happy birthday without paying me"

Sure, but what about "You are not allowed to make this cake unless you pay me"?

There is no strict gap between what is and what is only an idea, which is what you seem to be implying.

The problem isn't about what exists and what doesn't, the problem is a (necessary) bug in the way value is assigned.
If a driver accepts every ride the service offers them, then I agree they should be paid for the idle time in between being offered rides. If they don't accept every ride offered them (as is their right, as independent contractors), how do you determine how much idleness is ok? Saying "if you reject a single ride you lose your minimum wage" doesn't seem ok, because that punishes them for exercising their right as an independent contractor.

This also still runs into the question of what happens if the driver is driving for multiple services? They may have relatively little idle time, but each independent service sees the driver as having a lot of idle time (any time they're on a competitor's job).

This is the most obvious one: http://mummums.com/ At one point, you could even find it in WholeFoods.

I'm sure there are more in terms of processed food. I used to look at processed food packaging for babies and toddlers very closely. There are actually a lot of processed foods where the country of origin is just not listed. If you read carefully most of them just list the country where the food was packaged and not where the ingredients were sourced. When you call them to ask, their customer reps have no answer. Emails go unanswered as well. It could also be just be sourced locally, but they just suffer from a lackadaisical PR dept.

I wouldn't be surprised if cod & tilapia from China end up in the US restaurants and supermarkets as well
So Facebook copies every major app and service and then destroys its lifeline immediately killing the work of creators who innovated. Immediately after that Facebook copies the exact same service resulting in little risk, ingenuity and an almost certainty of success.

Sad truth is many great developers will trust them again because there’s a huge opportunity here but they’ll be smarter this time around. Don’t put all the eggs in the same basket and plan ahead a solid pivot when (not if) Facebook renegs.
Tokyo and other cities in Japan require an off-street parking space as a condition of car ownership. In the course of a day, cars are very seldom abandoned on the street and drivers would be punished if caught doing so.

Linux users for restricting untrusted software
Let's assume I have my main user called "john" under my GNULinux distro.
I have now downloaded a binary blob that I don't trust. If I create a new user "test", who shares groups with the user "john" then sudo into user "test" and from there execute that downloaded binary blob, can any harm be done outside of to user "test"'s home? The only group user "test" will certainly not be added to is "wheel".

I mean I understand the concepts of privilge escalation etc. but I'd just like to know how much trust I can put into kernel based seggragtion between users. I know user "test" can see "john"'s processes etc. but is there any possible way for user "test" to interfere (as in actually write/modify) anything that user "john" does?

Actually, v1.0 of PC/GEOS ran on an original IBM PC with 512K RAM. Later versions required 1MB and more.
Some boilerplate to write a custom native plugin is better to me than the dependancy hell you get on ReactNative.

That being said - my personal usecase would like a direct C++ interop, and flutter is working on it. See https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/7053

Since flutter runs as native ARM they can directly call C++ instead of having an expensive JNI bridge on android. If you're wanting something fast with native processing - flutter will be the best option out there IMO if that issue is resolved.
Having using Flutter since the alpha releases, it's great to see how the framework has evolved to a production-ready release. Honestly, learning Dart isn't that difficult nor foreign if you're coming from a low-level language such as C#/C++/C or Java. Been enjoying using it since.
> Microsoft could do worse than putting Windows on top of Linux.

Start a new OS, along side Windows, based on Linux/Unix.

Make it as stable as Windows for the every-day user, because let's be realistic, even Ubuntu can't manage it.

Ship all new laptops/PCs with this new OS.

Continue supporting Windows/Server for the enterprise.

That would be so awesome.
I must admit I had a little chuckle. I suppose there is a term for it when the correct answer is right there on the tip of your tounge but you just can't quite put pen to paper.
I totally understand that situation because I have been through similar education in Taiwan about twenty years ago as well. Thankfully the history education here is saner now.

Back to the 5K-year claim. It seems just rhetoric, but it actually enlarges unnecessary national pride, and then rhetoric becomes an unchallengeable truth. The "truth" then sounds so true that foreigners starts to believe it without hesitation.

Once I had a chat with an American friend, about Chinese character system and its ability to maintain information through the past five thousand years. I was astonished that nowadays some foreigners might still view East Asia as the mysterious Far East.
As someone who use Java a lot and don't favor Javascript I'm grateful there is Dart.
PC/GEOS didn't have virtual memory the way people think about it--it was a handles based approach so that memory could be moved when it wasn't being actively used.
Yes, that's also odd. Australia has been relatively un-touched by terrorism. We've had some lone crazies, but they're just individual mental cases as opposed to a semi-organised cell.

There was a group of three people recently arrested for planning some kind of shooting, but the point is they were discovered and arrested. With the current set of laws.
It should be mentioned that Zig's approach is not really generics (at least in the PL sense); one cannot determine the characteristics (or even validity) of `List(i64)` from `List(i32)`, much like that one cannot predict the behavior `f(3)` from `f(2)` for an arbitrary function `f`. This approach, technically termed ad hoc polymorphism (i.e. polymorphism without type system support), is not necessarily bad---as C++ had been fine for decades---but can have some disadvantages w.r.t. compile time (yes, you heard right) or binary bloat.

I think TikTok is going to have the staying power of vine. While Im glad for the people that enjoy tiktok type content have an app where they can create and consume this kind of content, it offers no appeal to me.
I'm not sure if it's applicable, however;

I'd be interested in any association that can be made against previous versions of such libraries, and the newly released open source libraries. Are the 'releases' between the old closed source and that of the newly open source significantly different?

If so, and either way; I'd be interested in knowing what kind of changes were applied in direct action of the source being released. Was it just cleaning/linting of the code? Were there features that were otherwise inappropriate (security? quality?) that needed attention before release.

Things like alignment with child dependency license agreements, or overall quality (in code, testing, and deployment) are things I find extremely interesting. Was there some interesting 'inappropriate' language in the source from developers long gone. Could this have effectively been the opposite spectrum of what happened with event-stream https://github.com/dominictarr/event-stream/issues/116

I'm not explicitly saying it's any of my business. I can imagine a multitude of reasons that this history would never be provided. But... as above.. I can consider reasons, perhaps; it should..?

I don't mean to discourage release. I really appreciate it. Just some thoughts..

Edit: Minor readability
Are you saying the Cultural Revolution has largely destroyed China's cultural heritage? If so I'll have to disagree with you.
> The airport is international - any airport of any size is

If there's no Customs and Immigration services, then it's not really an international airport - you cannot legally fly from a foreign airport and land in a local airport that doesn't have those services in the USA and likely other countries.

I generally take all non-literal war claims with head sized grains of salt along with all N-year plans. The "thousand year Reich" didn't even last twenty years. Generally when you see people swinging around nationalism and 'the new war' rhetoric they are emotionally manipulating you into doing what they want - if they had facts they would have brought them up first.

Yes the Chinese government is engaged in all sorts of shady shit and human rights violations that they deserve being criticized for but drawing Fentanyl in is a very strange link. There are many reasons to not want to do business with China from dodgy enforcement, concerns about 'extra shifts' at factories producing authentic bootlegs, technology transfers, digital security being undermined by surveillance, and not wanting to enrich unethical forms of government.

Fentanyl being treated as malice brings to mind the farcical "Mexico as a hivemind" rhetoric about Mexico" sending" drugs and criminals into the United States. Mexico didn't send jack shit - individuals did so on their own accord because it made money. That is literally treating all of them as one individual and is so ridiculously racist that it looks satirical. It would be like claiming that Americans are all crazy and suicidal because JFK was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald who was then shot by Jack Ruby.

The more likely reason is that the Party infamously only pays attention to their own problems when they start to threaten power or cause them to start lose face by being embarrassed in some way. Everywhere you'll find people willing to do shady things for a quick buck - the limit is only in what they can get away with.

I'm not sure if I completely agree with "Except in reality, you don't."

In some sense I enforce ownership of my house just by living here. Someone is here most of the time. The lights are on. There is activity. That keeps others out.

If I just abandoned the place, eventually someone might poke their head in and see if there was anything to take. Sure, that would be illegal, but the cops aren't going to post a guard for me under most circumstances.

You actually see this happen in downtrodden neighborhoods where whole blocks get abandoned. In theory that property is still owned by someone, but without anyone actually there, eventually houses get stripped of valuable goods and in some cases squatters move in.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defensible_space_theory is an academic theory of this point of view.

Another good example is house sitters. When traveling for extended periods of time, people will let trusted 3rd parties stay in their house for free. Why? Enforcement of property ownership.

Hey, didn't the CIA fund a hell of a lot of the 20th century's abstract art movement and help push it into the artistic mainstream by deliberately purchasing loads of it to inflate prices and make it seem a lot more popular, partly because it was much more difficult to use abstract art for understandable political statements?

I'm not joking. A major part of reckless driving there is just that no one knows what lanes are meant for. Having more striped lanes, better traffic lights and yes, better enforcement on wheels would help.

But an entire population wouldn't learn what it means to drive in a lane unless there are real lanes. Simple as that.
It's a great example of political overreach.
