Even before Java advanced its GC even more, a little-known 3D game called Minecraft was written in it.
I'd be curious what that percentage is now. The tech has improved enormously, as have developers understanding of what to avoid software-wise. Not a single person (dozens) I have shared my Quest with had this problem.
Since a while, I have a no-app principle for any note taking or knowledge organization. Where _app_ is anything not directly provided by file systems or text-files (e.g. .md, .txt). After countless of deprecated app experiences in the last 20 years, I am happy to have switched to a more solid base, so the knowledge I produce is not lost when switching OSs, app versions, formats etc.

Seeing the functions of Nyxt, they look exciting and perhaps I will try this for short-term knowledge (e.g. brainstorming on a topic, where I won't need to access this knowledge again after e.g. one year). For everything else I will stick to nested folders and markdown files, where compatibility is almost guaranteed.

Curious what others think about this issue.

I've also worked in the area and published research in it a couple years ago. I almost worked for a company focused on neural program synthesis but they did a large pivot and gave up a couple years ago working on much simpler problems and decided that current research was not good enough to do well on problems like this. I had a paper accepted that translated between toy programming languages 3ish years ago. Toy here meaning about complexity of simply typed lambda calculus that I wrote language in a couple hundred lines.

This and copilot are much better than level of problems being tackled a couple years ago.

In some sense this demonstrates a point about key markets. Chromebooks have market share that's not important, beyond sales volume for a variety of reasons. It's a secondary machine, a non-work machine, a machine for the unsavy, etc. People who don't need much from the laptop. It has few apps, and the ecosystem isn't that important. Companies don't run on it. Companies don't even really run on Google docs very often. These products remain non essentials with little to no lock-in.

You could argue that kindle is a computer too, but it doesn't really matter either way.
If someone wonders why old Firefox users, while still preferring new Firefox to anything else, is still annoyed then this might be a perfect example to explain it:

There used to be a number of extensions of this type on old Firefox. I cannot remember exactly this one, but here are a couple to prove what was possible [1]:

- the original Firebug which became developer tools and was cloned to every other browser was just another Firefox extension(!)

- an extension I used a lot was Scrapbook, which let me crawl and store websites (I used it for symfony docs back in 2007-2009 before mobile broadband was available or at least not within reach for me. It would download pages recursively according to simple, useful rules like maxrecursion, only subdirectories and only a certain domain and then rewrite every url on the page to be relative instead of absolute. You could also edit the pages locally.)

- Alerts (or something similar) would check web pages according to simple rules I set up and notify me if it saw significant changes.

[1]: somebody will probably tell that it existed too and was even better, I just didn't know of it.
What is that unrelated link doing there?
It looked like 3d graphics to me.

What are you talking about? This isn’t trickle down economics. This is just literally paying back interest on a loan and not going bankrupt (Bank of America, Merrill Lynch). There is an immediate first order return and the second order return of not letting the largest banks fail was widely believed to be positive even in retrospect by both Democrats and Republicans.

Do you even know what trickle down economics is? I’m guessing no and that’s why you didn’t post any sources. Long story short, it’s about taxation policy, which has zero overlap with “loans for banks vs handouts for poor people”.

Google's DeepMind says its AI coding bot is 'competitive' with humans
I think the author has a few too many misconceptions about the programmers' misconceptions.

"How long will it take to implement search here?" "Wait, why does it take longer than a week, Google can do it".

Things I've heard an actual Product Owner once say. Please tell the the one automobile engineer who was asked to make a car in a week.

So yes, I absolutely believe that /some/ programmers will say that their work is so complicated and like engineering, there are just a lot of seemingly exaggerated examples that have actually happened. I'm not saying it's harder. I'm just saying there are classes of problems that should not happen in civil engineering.

Project is halfway done, written in Python. Someone: "Can we not switch to Java?". I would equate that to "The metal bridge is halfway done, can we switch to wood?". This is not inferring that this is the most concerning problem in a problem, and that's my gripe with this article. And the moving bridge is also an exaggerated example taken for shock value. How often does that really happen? And would you put a random engineer of medium seniority in charge of this?

Disclaimer: I am not saying programming is harder or special. I've worked on construction sites and I've seen my fair share of ridiculous requests. But people are often simply persuaded a lot easier if you point to a physical wall and explain the problem, versus software where you need to start explaining at the very beginning. Sadly, often also for customers or product managers.
ETH cannot be minted "out of thin air" so I guess this will go from reserves?
> there's nothing stopping anyone from taking dollars,

Yes, there is. There is a good part of the world where people can not accept payments in dollars, so the revenue share program wouldn't work.

Not to mention the tipping system. If they wanted to do with "real cash", they would have to either find a global partner like Western Union (yuck), or partner with PayPal (double yuck) or become themselves a money transmitter (basically impossible)

Granted, what they could've done would be to use another existing token. And they did just that, at first. The first version used BTC. It didn't catch on. It was only later that they did the ICO.

It would be nice if they used a stabletoken, but DAI was launched after BAT's ICO, Tether is poison and USDC is centralized. BAT is not ideal, but there was no better alternative at that point in time.

> terms and conditions set by, you'll never guess it, the Brave developers.

In the ad network that is built-in to the browser, sure. But again, there is nothing stopping a competitor to make another ad network, with a similar structure, which displays ads in their own properties. And if were starting now, what do you think would be easier: to get users to be interested in something that can give them more BAT, or something that would give them a different type of "gift card"?

> in reality isn't going to be adopted outside of the Brave ecosystem.

Why? If no one else realizes that the is possible to use BAT without depending on Brave, then you'd have a self-fulfilling prophecy.

But I could easily argue that this is not really true. BAT is already part of the DeFI ecosystem (accepted by MakerDAO as one of the currencies to provide stability to DAI), youtubers and content creators are getting more aware of it, there are already people providing services that accept BAT as payment, there is a guy selling coffee for BAT... Brave does not control any of it directly.
I have the same experience. I have tried my friends VR set a few times and another one at a work party, and overall it was pretty underwhelming. Uncomfortable, a bit nausea inducing and nothing particularly impressive. Kind of cool to try out, but not something I would want to use every day or pay for. At the current state I don't see what's the fuss about.

Also VR as some kind of social networking replacement seems unlikely to me because huge par of the time people spend on social networks is not while sitting at home dedicating time to this activity. Most people are not going to lug around VR headset everywhere they go.
No? Maybe in one of a million parallel universes, but it's not something that's realistic. Tractor manufacturing isn't a light thing to take to, and is rather out of scope for farmers ( the same way that ISPs don't manufacture the vans used by their techs).
One of the most common questions about get about Pothos is how does it compare to nexus. Pothos takes a very different approach to how it achieves type-safety. nexus relies on code-gen that generates types that roughly match the shape of your graphql API. Pothos instead infers (or can be explicitly provided) type information from your data. While this doesn't seem like a huge difference, Pothos has a fundamental separation between the shape of your data and the shape of your API. allowing you to more naturally map real world data into your desired graphql schema.

apart from the type system, the biggest advantage of Pothos is the plugin system, and the wide range of plugins. I've put a lot of effort into designing a way for plugins to compose in a way that allows them to work well together, and take full advantage of the type-safety Pothos provides. many libraries in graphql ecosystem today don't let you take advantage of the schema and types described by your graphql API, Pothos tries to allow features like auth, data loading, and validation to be defined along side your schema definition, giving you better type safety than you get from other alternatives. it's hard to explain how well this works until you actually start building an API with it.
Amazon became big on lies, and in fact is in the news frequently because it continues to do so.
If there's any merit to these figures, this is pretty crazy. I'm tempted to side with apple b/c I generally think they're at least less bad than FB and I value any platform taking steps to further privacy.

But the fact that a company can do this to another company at the flick of a switch by changing the rules of the game on a whim is still kind of scary, even if I think it's for the better in this instance.
Which I don't understand. Marketing is part of what makes the product. You can't simply promise stuff on your website and then put something else in the fine print. If you market the thing as (almost) self-driving, then the fine-print doesn't really matter. It is about customer expectations.

Most regulated products require post market surveillance. You have to actively monitor the market and how consumers behave. If they have a misunderstanding about the intended use of your product, you're overpromising. Which is clearly the case here if Tesla did their post market surveillance correctly.

Code can be perhaps the contract. Contract is not the law.

Contract law is only one part of the law.

There are myriad reasons legal reasons actual contracts are voided and thrown out in court as unenforceable, no consideration, illegal actions or unilateral negotation or even unfair terms etc.

You cannot have a legal contract which for murder for example.
Not altogether unprecedented though; the suicide cult Heaven's Gate had people stay around to maintain their website, etc. and apparently they still believe the Hale-Bopp comet was some portend of the end of times.
Fair enough, for me it's fairly useful even with niche genres, but promoters around here tend to use it too (or the info gets scraped because the area has more things going on). I've had free open air (no venue) concerts of Balkan folk pop in there!
Whatever, anything above 1 year is too much for such a crime. Gaming a lottery is nothing comparable to a violent crime. I would say just confiscate what he won + enforcement expenses + some months of forced labor removing graffiti.
I hate voice chats, just like I hate phone calls. I would feel much less awkward having a video chat with a stranger than just a voice call, though of course text is the best.
I agree. Adding Messenger, groups, and events were good moves, but they ruined the feed so badly it soured the whole thing. Should've stuck to being social networking instead of trying to be whatever the feed is supposed to be now.

They could've easily expanded into more social features, longer-form stuff like Livejournal, personal creative stuff like Deviantart, and personal creative/selling like Etsy and Bandcamp and print-on-demand books, etc.

Another killer feature they flopped on was personas. Nobody really wants their entire extended family, current former and potential coworkers and bosses, customers, preacher, old friends, romantic interests, drug dealer, and fetish group all hanging out together in the same room talking. So people made separate accounts and different names but Facebook continually fought hard against that very basic nature of human social networking.

Instead of any social-networking improvements to their core, they just removed all the value from the feed. And then bought out another messenger and another place to post photos, both of which they already had. Then a halfhearted videos thing and now a VR Second Life clone.
Yeah, I'm wondering in what way it's already easily possible to export those annotations to org. That would be amazing and a reason to finally give Nyxt a proper try.
I feel like this post misses to mention the elephant in the room, which is ICC the international color consortium. They publish officially recommended conversion formulas and their specifications and device profiles contain data for different rendering intents, e.g. "colors objectively as accurate as possible" vs. "make it look the same to humans". They also standardized the .icc file format.

I do feel kinda strongly about these things because the DisplayCal open source calibration software is quite buggy and, hence, unusable for professional work because nobody there read the specifications before attempting to implement them. That's why accurate colors are a solved problem on Windows (e.g. Davinci resolve in HDR mode) and on Mac (Apple has special PCI-D3 displays) but on Linux, everyone tried to reinvent the wheel so different measurement and display apps are incompatible with each other.
In mathematics there is no measurement uncertainty
I always find the constant expectation of growth puzzling.
and that it is a regular occurrence.

For a long time, DELL grew and grew and got bigger.
Then they plateaued (for a while) and the investors were mad.

There are only so many people in the world who want an FB account.
and only so many companies and people who need a DELL computer.

Infinite high growth is impossible to sustain. Physically.
Can someone explain why the ad business isn't happy with SKAdNetwork, an anonymized replacement for IDFA tracking?

I'm just trying to understand, when marketing people come to me (as a mobile dev) and say "we need to enable ATT popup, we need the IDFA badly" what to tell them in response. The ATT popup is spooky to many users, I just can't quite understand whether e.g. my app really needs it or is it the advertisers trying to trick publishers to enable IDFA even though the latter don't benefit from it?
Good. We’re tired of what they did to society.
I knew someone would complain about that post no matter what I wrote, so
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I also wanted to honor and acknowledge the non-reactionary political and social forces working and living in Mississippi.

There’s a lot more you can enjoy on top of completing the walk itself
A $5 monthly donation will in 12 months' time turn into $60, so it's not a great mystery why they want the recurring income.

I rented a VR headset for a month a while ago. I think I bought most of the top games to play around with, but all feel a bit gimmicky and lacking depth.

I'd claim that VR will be niche until it becomes AR. When I can see my keyboard and get multiple floaty screens,that will be productivity.
Pokemon Go in AR? Skyrim AR? AR shooters in converted warehouses? Horror games in my house? That'll be games.

a drastic change, like moving to a diff country/culture could be a good start.
it might not be the end solution, but as a starting point it could help you because drastic (non-toxic) changes tend to put us on our toes, attentive to new environment, etc. specially if you're in a city-country where walking is the norm (i.e. you don't depend on a car (isolated) to get around).
Move to a sunny country like spain (southern spain, works). there are non-lucrative visas you can get without much hassle. good luck

Firefox forcely remove the separator between tabs in new design because users won't open too many tab in general, and they won't make the tab too small to differ.

And I fxxking hate it.

Because I am the user that will open many tab and make the tab small.

So does this mean I should not use firefox because I use it wrong? It's really a shitty attitude if you are exactly the one that they claims 'not-important'. Pray for you not being lucky enough to be the one 'not-important' if you don't know the pain yet.

to be fair Minecraft was ported to C++ for anything but PC, and IIRC as of last year the PC version was ported as well, the only thing standing in the way being mod support. The reason Notch wrote it in Java was because that's what he knew, not exactly because it was a fantastic choice for a 3d game.
Battery is something that can always fail within few years. Even more with start/stop systems which every ICE car has nowadays.

That said, if your new car has significant safety improments like auto braking, rear camera, cross traffic warnings etc. these are good reasons to upgrade.

Btw. our city car is 2007 Honda Jazz/Fit, that thing is perfect. Yes, battery failed few times but that's about it.
So my hypothesis that my app doesn't need the IDFA is correct, and when e.g. Facebook SDK docs push hard for enabling the IDFA, I should just ignore it? Or would it backfire on me somehow?

I guess weaker generalisation is why it's better though. It converges slower but in the end it knowledge is more subtle. So my bet is more compute and programing and math is "solved" - not in research sense but very helpful "copilot".

The real fun will begin once someone discovers how to make any problem differentiable so try/error method isn't needed. I suggest watching recent Yann Le Cun interview. This will solve researching as well.
