Although my main mobile browser is Firefox, I can't deny that chrome is better on performance and battery life (even with ad blockers installed in FF). I can understand why people use a Chrome(-based) browsers on mobile.

The replacement for Firefox for Android is coming along nicely but it's nowhere near completion yet.

Improving stuff like this makes Chrome somewhat bearable until Firefox can match Chrome in performance.

I think concurrent mode and fibers are kludgy hacks that arise from the problem that only the main thread has access to the DOM. As far as I know and I may be ignorant but few, if any, other frameworks are scheduling DOM updates as aggressively as React is, and are simpler to understand as a result.

Hopefully the standards folks can come up with a decent DOM API for WebAssembly.

JS and Java can do that because they were designed reasonably well from the start. All they tend to add are more features on top of the solid core language. Python's language was not solid (e.g., strings not unicode by default) so they needed a major overhaul.
Pretty much anywhere with turbines installed between 1990 and 2000 or so. They don't work forever, and the tradeoff between durability and efficiency is often set to around a 25 year lifespan.

In fact, if they were cheaper to build, it might make sense to design them with shorter lifespans to take better advantage of the improvements in technology faster.

on the GPU side, it seems RGB is the common thread. There are ways to disable it, but they aren't particularly great as they really only come into play post-OS loading (I have my GPU in an external enclosure so I see it more than I would in a desktop).

Memory modules do have RGB, but you specifically have to buy them (they're the exception, currently). CPUs don't have RGB, but the fans that are going to be mounted on them may be (Ryzen's CPU fans that come with the CPUs have them iirc). I don't see HDD/SDD going the RGB route considering they tend to be somewhat obfuscated, but the faster storage sticks that are all the rage in gaming PCs now may be a candidate (I say that mostly because of the RGB memory modules mentioned earlier).

It is a trend I wish didn't happen, honestly, but I know it is a case of trying to consolidate and appease two audiences (performance hungry users and enthusiasts) so it is what it is.
Tesla sedans regain recommended status in Consumer Reports survey
Funny story. The Vega64 has 8GB of RAM and 4MB of L2 cache (last-level cache) across 4096 SIMD-cores. That's 1kB of L2 cache and 2MB RAM per core.

It gets worse: although there are 4096 cores, the Vega64 isn't fully loaded until you stick 4-threads-per-core (Or more precisely, 16-wavefronts per Compute Unit (256-SIMD-cores)). That means you will actually need to run 16384 SIMD-threads before the Vega64 is fully utilized.

That's less than 512kB main-RAM per core, and less than 256 bytes of L2 cache per core. Better hope your threads are sharing a lot of memory...

AMD addresses this problem with NAVI / RDNA: NAVI is fully utilized at 1-thread per core. So you only need 2816 threads on the 5700 XT to fully utilize the system.

What's the point of these fines if NJ and other governments have no real power to enforce them? This seems to be all for show. Sure, we throw poor people in jail over a $20 fine. But Uber doesn't pay tens of millions and nothing at all happens to them. It's impossible to see this as anything other than separate justice systems for the rich and poor. If Uber was a real person, they'd probably be in jail for life. If they weren't white, they'd be sitting on death row. Instead, we talk of them as if they are some sort of success: a company breaking laws and hemorrhaging money with no chance in fucking hell of ever being profitable.

That's very depend on country, and user segment. You'll read stories like "You must have Whatsapp to communicate in Europe", but in countries like Denmark, it's just SMS (unless you're on an iPhone that will automatically use iMessage).

For my circles of friends and family it's either SMS or iMessage and iMessage is only because most people don't realise that it's not SMS.

I am a little confused as to why they don't simple sneak RCS in, like Apple have done with iMessage. Just upgrade the users to RCS if available and fallback to SMS if not.
That’s why you create a free Dropbox account or just use your free iCloud account. This is even what 1Password used to recommend as part of its setup, if I remember correctly.

I’d it was simply storage, the. It would be an add on, but it’s not. It seems like it’s more of a strategy to increase cash flow by converting to ongoing subscriptions instead of one time purchases. This is the same motivation that switched MS Office and Photoshop over to subscriptions. There’s no compelling reason to upgrade, so you get people to fork over a credit card and forget about their reoccurring charge. Cash flow becomes more predictable and possibly increases as well. This why service contract / subscription businesses are popular among investors.

I don’t blame them for trying it, but let’s not pretend this is good for users.

There's no escaping this from states like NJ, CA, IL, MA, and NY. These states (of which I am a member of) are broke with pension obligations waiting to bankrupt the government. Taxes are already high both on income and property so there's nowhere to go there. They have old infrastructures and although the citizens are heavily taxed, government can't make improvements in large part because of lifetime pension obligations to a rapidly growing group of retirees - many of which have already moved to tax free states like FL.

So these states are the vanguard in finding ways to collect more tax revenue any way they can. Sharing Economy companies are simply the easiest to harvest right now.

If it's about reading the map while navigating through the night in unknown territory in some emergency situation (lost in the woods?), I'd see where that would be a problem.

Otherwise, I wouldn't go trekking/hiking at night either. Who does, so that that "map reading at night while maintaining night vision adaptation" to be a real non-outlier concern?

If the use case is reading a map at a campsite, e.g. to prepare for tomorrow's hike, then the "night vision adaptation" should not be that important, and a backlit map device would do just fine. And you can have the screen at low brightness and not mess (or not mess much) with your night vision adaptation.

Where do you napkin-estimate the percentage of people in the venn diagram AND of "uses maps", "need to read them at night", "need to maintain night vision adaptation while doing so", "has some night vision contraption to be able to read things they shine light on"?

I don't think it will make people less likely to use Python overall, but for certain categories of projects there are some things that are just done better in other languages. Both Java and Go for example have specific programming language constructs and contracts to ensure that codebases can move from version to version easily and I do not feel like there is a dynamic/untyped language that really provides that same level of stability. The ones that do get close to that are the ones that are extremely small in scope and are not in the same class of batteries included language, and because of their small scope they have a general limit of change.

At a certain point this sort of compatibility/forward motion of a codebase through big language revisions is something that has to be designed as part of the language in either being able to break it down into small enough chunks to chew through in pieces (updating a submodule with the updated language without affecting anything else), completely transparent to the code being run through it (this happens for compilers for C for different standards), or to have a version to version automated rewriting mechanism that is so reliable the outcome of the automated tool is not in question (tools like Go's gofmt). Python in my opinion only has partial solutions to all of those answers so it turns into a lot of hand work.

So while there are other languages that may do other things better there are still a class of programs that are very effective to write in Python, and that's plenty enough reason to keep it around. Do not forget that Python 2 was released in 2000 and Python 3 was released almost a decade later. The general time scale makes worrying about the next release for many people, but for people who do they start considering other languages because that's important to them.

Paul Krugman -- Increasing Returns and Economic Geography

> This paper develops a simple model that shows how a country can endogenously become differentiated into an industrialized "core" and an agricultural "periphery." In order to realize scale economies while minimizing transport costs, manufacturing firms tend to locate in the region with larger demand, but the location of demand itself depends on the distribution of manufacturing. Emergence of a core-periphery pattern depends on transportation costs, economies of scale, and the share of manufacturing in national income

That means it should be relatively easy to verify in a laboratory, right?
Crypto replaces a major painpoint (chargeback, getting 0% of your money) with a minor painpoint (volatility, losing or gaining <10% of your money).

There are other cryptocurrencies (eg Tether) that follow USD (eg 1 Tether is almost always equal to $1.00 USD), to avoid issues with volatility.

I guess another issue is that you'd have to pay taxes on any gains/losses between receiving your crypto and cashing it in for USD, and that would be pretty annoying to calculate manually.

I'm not the biggest fan of crypto but I think it actually solves this problem pretty well. There are probably other solutions too though (like only accept debit cards / payment methods that can't be charged back).

No, sharing economy companies are breaking the law in interesting and creative ways and it has simply taken the states some time to catch up. That those states also have a pension obligation has nothing to do with them collecting taxes on corporations active in their territory.
The industry seems like a good fit for specialist contractors (many of which also work for oil companies) rather than an integrated oil company. They may have access to lots of capital, but that is hardly unique.

Arguably their real talent is dealing with market volatility, which could come to renewables when strike prices and subsidy levels get reduced.

well preying on ignorance is the game of politicians and they won. Yes I am saying it was a loss for the rest of us.

why? politicians and their allies successfully portrayed the home sharing industry as the reason for rising rents when in fact it has long been because politicians and those using their connections which have been the cause. oh they hide it well but the idea is to keep their investments up and keep "those" people out. Those people being any group which they don't want to see where they live.

If you got this far, good for you. Are there bad actors in the home sharing space. Yes, however you target them more directly but the restriction of requiring owners to be on site during the rental period severely limits the rights of the good ones.

so yes there is some regulation needed but if it does not protect the little guy, and they weren't in this as they got rolled in with the rest, then it harms us all as whole.

rents won't go down until more units are built and they won't be built for the same reasons they were not being built before home sharing industries showed up at the door.
If these Uber drivers were correctly reporting their income (and I can't see how they wouldn't be--Uber surely 1099s it) -- wouldn't each individual driver be paying these same taxes, even as a self-employed person?
