Evil New Gmail Icon
So Google have been down on their knees again, worshipping The Devil. I can no longer see my Gmail icon because some coder twt has recoloured it the same as the chrome icon. Is this nitwit offering sexual favours to some inbred relation of Mr Google who sits on the board, and makes these braindead decisions? Burn in hell Mr Google, your inbred family members, and those that bribe their way in to positions by performing sexual favours.
Goldeneye had a Turok-style control option that I largely used: move with the arrow keys, aim with the stick, trigger to shoot, shoulder to aim. Circle strafing is simple, as is aiming up or down. Goldeneye's shoulder aim allowed players more precision, at a cost of mobility, which has a certain logic to it.

Overall it's fairly similar to Halo, without the extra buttons for crouch, jump, grenade, or melee. Halo's golden triangle would be functionally dead without them. But... the pro controllers exist for a reason -- you can't use a fleet of thumb buttons on the controller face if your left and right thumbs are dedicated to moving and looking.
They are probably talking about accepting serialized data coming from a network request. Typescript doesn’t help at the edge if you just cast your JSON blob into your application model.
A lot of typstronauts in the comments here defending all this insane complexity. There is something fun about complexity, but you don’t need to take a blind eye to how much harder it makes life to admit your appreciation.

This seems... Wrong. Better leave a comment because other people might assume it's a leftover from a refactoring or such.
Generally things don’t like it very much when I lie to them about what OS they’re running on; I try to set the version just before opening Xcode and fix it then right after I’m done submitting the app so my computer isn’t confused.

Couldn't the new Macs run React Native ... natively, by the way of Xcode, instead of running React inside an electron housing?
There was a lot of interesting technology in the 90s that made the bridge between the desktop world and the web world seem-less, Microsoft had a ton of internet integrated into desktop stuff but Mozilla had XPCOM, KDE had Khtml, Adobe had Flash, Java had Applets and a bunch of remote technologies.

I miss that sense of possibility you get from knowing your client side website could do anything.

Of course I can see some of the reasons it went away, security was a constant struggle, maintaining all of the integration points required a lot of developer effort which was being more focused on keeping up with web standards, mobile meant desktop and the web were not the only concerns, etc.

An interesting halfway point was the explosion in widget technologies in the mid-2000-ish time. Often these were web tech based and aimed at similar developers. I think the rise of mobile apps is what killed that one

> Making the project open source doesn't mean you will get any help for free.

That's not the main purpose. Make the project open source will help me in a future job application. In my country (Spain), companys value more your personal projects than whatever you made in your four years of college.

The app will be part of my final college project so, badly or well I will have to do it. However, the app may not be used by the organization, but I want to produce an useful app in case they want to use it.

Thanks!
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. This seems like a reasonable question, and yeah Apple definitely breaks their App Store rules when needed if it will make them more money.
> Have you ever thought about your house? The whole damn thing is fuel.

analogizing a house, the purpose of which is to store and house human occupants, ran by non-professionals, to a dock store-house that houses hazardous compounds and is staffed by employees is pretty useless.

Yes, most everything is fuel.

Storing large amounts of explosive chemicals is beyond the scope of purpose behind a household.

Dock storehouses routinely deal with hazardous/dangerous goods. They are built to do so with the premise that the staff that run them will follow strict (and in most cases clearly written) guidelines.

In other words : I don't need to demonstrate explosion-readiness as a strict rule before home ownership -- but most countries require groups that house and manipulate explosive or combustible goods to demonstrate both their skill in manipulation, and their disaster planning in the worst case.
Chiding a static type checker as a dynamic language based on the sophistication of its type system reads like a cynical joke to me.

I didn't miss your point, but maybe I didn't explain mine clearly enough. You don't have to use complex types, even with 3rd party libraries, just figure out what goes into the function the same way you would if there were no type annotations.

Hi,

A radio astronomer here, and writing opinion for all that's worth.

I visited Arecibo once and stayed for a short project for 3 months. It was awesome, and they have a fabulous small astronomy team doing some really interesting science.

My mentor and long-term collaborator has used this telescope since the 70s, and she will be devastated. This dish has produced so many unexpected discoveries, solid science of highest calibre, and has stayed at the edge of science over 50+ years. It's sad to see such a sudden end.

There are three variants of radio-telescope design:

1. monolith dish (Arecibo or Green Bank)
2. Network of dishes (Very Large Array, or VLA, in New Mexico)
3. Network of individual dipoles (LOFAR in the Netherlands)

One needs to combine all three in some ways to target different classes of astronomical problems. For example, if you want to understand the source structure, separate its left limb from the right, then you need smaller dishes separated by a large distance (like Very Large Array -- VLA). If you are looking at low frequencies of radio light, then you need dipole arrays like LOFAR. On the other hand if you are looking for giant burst of short-term energy, you are collecting light from a distant object. The more you collect, the better it is. So, single dish (or many dishes combined) works very well. Large single dish (Arecibo like) telescopes are also critical to characterize arrays like VLA or LOFAR. So, they are very useful still.

Arecibo's success gave rise to improved design of a single mammoth dish telescopes in China (FAST). So, the design stays relevant and of importance. A new telescope called Square Kilometer Array (of size one square kilometer in effective area) would in principle replace a mammoth dish like Arecibo and tackle very diverse set of problems.

However, Arecibo is like an old Volvo car that kept on going strong. You never want to junk such a old beauty even if you have a swanky Tesla standing outside your door, would you?

Cheers!
Gentoo-prefix on SUA was my daily driver for years. I had all the “could you imagine” stuff mentioned in the article - dealing with the random build errors now an then did get old though. I always wondered why more people didn’t use it especially seeing how popular WSL is now. Maybe SUA was just ahead of its time?
This is a good point. Limiting risk at the individual level by restricting the size of the investor pool can limit systemic risk.

I have a blog generated using Pelican, using a slightly modified version of the pelican-bootstrap3 theme.

This makes me feel pretty guilty when I realize that my blog is loading 118.18 kB of minified (!!) css, and almost 200 kB of web fonts, even though the front page of my blog still doesn't exceed 1MB overall.

(And I actually don't like the current theme of my blog that much anyway. I have a hard time picking a clean, "brutalist" theme.)

They lost more in one year than it took to build GTAV over 7 years.

From their blog post about Apple Silicon[1]

> In the future, we will release a package that allows you to "merge" your arm64 and x64 apps into a single universal binary, but it's worth noting that this binary would be huge and probably isn't ideal for shipping to users.

It seems like things are going to get a bit confusing with Electron apps, and with the number of Electron apps that exist, this transition might not be as transparent as Apple might have hoped.

Keep in mind that this might discriminate against CJK pages. While it is trivial to design a beautiful webpage in 1MB for a Western audience including CSS design and western fonts, a single CJK compatible webfont (one style/weight) is 500kB-1MB.

My blog is pretty lightweight, but I use Japanese in the about page, and that font on that page blows everything else out on download size. I could subset it just for that line, but consider sites containing entirely CJK content...
It's largely up to personal taste. Every font claims to be legible.
Every font claims to improve over previous fonts. Every font combines all of the
standard ascii characters and many unicode characters styled as the designer considered best, which you may agree with on some letters and not others.

Serif fonts usually have more legibility at the cost of aesthetic.
San serif fonts usually work well at more font sizes, but lack visual cues.
What is important is that it works for you, and that, if you are using it for legibility, it disambiguates 0 from O and I from l, and perhaps more importantly, remains legible and pleasant to the eye even when small or very large.
Another concern not addressed by this or most other fonts is dyslexia.
The font used on this website is simple arial on my platform, and does this well.
Arial has long since been the standard for legibility. But it is not pretty.

I personally find that the atkinson is legible enough, but in this respect is not objectively superior to simple arial or other serif fonts. as with all fonts there is compromise and it is not the most attractive font to me, as it is a sans-serif font trying to be a serif font with concern to legibility aspects only. Another legible font which pulls off the compromise possibly better is goldman sachs, although it does not have a slash through the 0 number character. It is free to use and the only provision on the font is that it not be used to suggest affiliation with or endorsement by the bank.

There are hundreds of fonts, and many open source clones of fonts. One might wish that the dyslexie font or heinemann special font were available as an open source clone. But the question of what is truly ideal for a font to be as well as how to best achieve it remains unsolved.

Problem: how do you have an elite murder squad that just kills exactly the people you want and no others? What if grandma gets in the way?

How about Hamed, who might know a guy who knows a guy, who might jeopardise the goals of Murder Squad? How important is not murdering random people vs achieving mission objectives? What if Hamed is a prisoner and slowing Murder Squad down will jeopardise the mission?

It's eerily analogous to the AI alignment problem. It seems like not having hard core elite Murder Squads would be preferable to pretending we can ask people to do their job in a moral vacuum.

I don't pretend to be right on this, and I expect reasonable people to disagree, but if you set up the incentives to prioritise mission success over human life, you will obviously get mission success at the expense of human life and a culture that is proud to kill people to get the job done (thats what makes them different from infantry).

Not sure why your downvoted, this is very true in my experience.
You're right that the issue described in the OP is more specific. However, I believe its a symptom of the larger, underlying problem.

Google shouldn't wield the power to decide which browsers are worthy enough to access the larger internet they have control over. It's antithetical to the open web.
Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate your post and the additional FDW. If you ever decide to give it a go, a benchmark would be interesting, if for no other reason than to see how much penalty cgo actually incurs vs possible efficiency gains in your implementation strategy.

This is a thorough guide: https://saveriomiroddi.github.io/An-in-depth-dbas-guide-to-m...

The encoding/collation problem is now settled - the problem has been legacy, and especially, the somewhat mismanaged, rushed, change in 8.0.
Exactly. I build enterprise web apps for a living and don’t have any of these problems because I don’t have to put ads in them. They are blazing fast and users love the UX through and through. There are myriad reasons why I would never build them with traditional SSR templating.

I could also build a CNN clone in pure React (no SSG or SSR) without the ads and the millions of autoplaying videos that would demolish its current performance.

As for Reddit, perhaps SSR would be a better fit indeed. But most of its problems come from the fact that the SPA implementation is dogshit, and not from the architecture itself... Some things plainly don’t work, for example a feature as basic as the comment tree is broken as hell. This mess would be equally possible with SSR though - I would personally screw up more easily a comment tree implementation with AJAX data fetching in SSR templating and vanilla JS than in React.

I agree that many sites, especially news sites, are disgusting bloated messes. And yes, JavaScript is often involved but it’s not the cause - it is merely an accessory to the fact. The causes are ads, tracking, data mining, even crypto mining (!), and piss-poor implementations (and no, JS frameworks are not conducive to the latter any more than vanilla JS). Each of these causes is in turn motivated by its own root cause, most often economic in nature.
The TS devs adding support for more advanced types in tsc doesn't make it any harder for your code to pass type checking. That just depends on (1) how strictly you have configured the type checker and (2) how specific you make your type definitions.

The more advanced types just allow more specific type definitions. So if try to you them, and you can't get them to work... you can just avoid the advanced features and leave the type definitions more vague. Just like how if you can't get the basic types to work, you can always use "any".
I don't really understand why it's okay for you to tell other people what they have a "right" to be offended about, but not okay for them to tell you that they're offended about it.

Additionally, common usage of the phrase "falling on deaf ears" is almost never used to actually describe communicating with a deaf person. It's usually used to describe communicating with a hearing person who, for some reason other than physical hearing impairment, did not listen.

Therefor I think it is the exact opposite of a functional description. Instead it uses a physical disability to describe folks without that disability behaving in unproductive ways. Given that, it seems quite reasonable to say "this phrase could be seen as excluding to folks who have that disability".

> the downing of Ukrainian International Airlines Flight 752. That loose set of content eventually forced the Iranian government to admit responsibility.

I read about that case in detail, and it's not as clear as the initial reporting.

It was a tough one since you can't tell with any certainty which airplanes are truly friendly or not. Iran was in a state of heightened alert because of disagreements with the US. (Some countries, like Israel, use civilian airliners and routes as cover for military flights.)

A related example is how Iraq used a civilian Dassault F-50 jet upgraded with Mirage electronics (radar, launch rails) for a number of clandestine military flights around the Middle East, including the flight that hit the USS Stark with 2 Exocet missiles. (The Stark's fire control system apparently didn't recognize the F-50 as a threat, even though it had a fighter escort.)
I totally get what you mean. The gameplay itself is just.. different. Not the story or whatever but strictly the movement. What you wrote about vsync just hit me on another level. I remember playing CS Source (don't ask) and that was just awful, I still played it for hundreds of hours, but it just was not hitting it like before. I think there is a technical reason for it, because I turned on CS 1.6 in between these comments and the difference was noticeable immediately
