To me react native is the only real way to go if you are considering cross platform development besides using a webview and web stack for your UI.

Reason is simple. React Native abstracts only platform away by exposing base components. If you really need something for a specific platform it is very easy to write a custom plugin - so you will need some platform knowledge. I have used flutter as well but must admit it feels not the way as I would like to have - especially the shader compilation if a component gets shown for the first time I feel annoying.

So to me react native is best - but comes with its own pain points like updates...

If you can afford it go pure native and try to write business logic in a shareable language e.g. Rust, C, C++, Kotlin native... and integrate the UI based on the platform.

If thats not an option I recommend react native + if needed custom modules and try to not use too many third party libs.

Also: here's a very simple Logo Adventure I wrote: my first paid commercially published code. Terrapin wanted an example of a Logo program that demonstrated how to use list processing and functional programming, and they included it on the Terrapin Logo disk for the C64. It took advantage of the interactive Logo top level read/eval/print loop, so I didn't need to actually write a parser!

Initially not thought about co-pilot and other ai generators this way, but now I have I’m finding it hard to ignore.
For me, the egregious part isn't even the difference in base 2 and base 10 but rather that windows uses base 2 but displays it as base 10 units. (Internally uses Gibibytes but displays the unit as Gigabytes, for example)
This is for the show, really. There are much smaller and practical ways to produce real random data, but perhaps not as cool.
It would be good to know what the immune system is doing during sleep. As I understand it, metastasis is caused by a local depletion in nutrients or stress to the tumor cells, which then try to find a new environment to occupy. If tumor-killing activity of the immune system happens primarily at night, that could explain why metastasis is also primarily at night, and may explain the discrepancy on melatonin which you just mentioned, where this study found that higher melatonin levels correlated with higher circulating tumor cell numbers, but the literature suggests that melatonin helps kill tumors.
> GDPR is bad because some will decide to break the law.

No, where do I say that?

My point is that GDPR still lets companies collect user data, legally.

"Oh, now they need to ask for consent" doesn't really change things in practical terms. If Facebook still has billions of WhatsApp users, and if every user had to give consent to have the data extracted to use the service, in practice Facebook still has access to the data and can build a profile of billions of people.

> What specifically makes GDPR just "protocol theater"?

I don't know how else to restate this, and I don't see how I can make it any clearer.

Companies are still collecting data at large. The requirements about consent do not stop them from doing collecting and exploiting data, they just add some extra hoops and create inconveniences. These hoops and inconveniences are enough to make data processing costly for smaller players (even for legitimate uses) but they don't do anything to stop the Big Players. We get the worst of both worlds.

> I'd say that you have more privacy because you "refuse consent".

On paper, you can "refuse consent". In practice, the absolute majority of people continued to use the services and devices from GAMMA (Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Apple), and the only way to use those services and devices is by giving consent.

> what changes should be made to make it more than that?

By forbidding data collection and brokering (tracking cookies, ad auctions) at all. By forbidding personalized advertisements at all. By forbidding ad-subsidized hardware. By forbidding hardware to be sold bundled with internet-connected software/services, i.e, they can either sell the software or the hardware, but not both. By forbidding any service to be commercialized unless it has a self-hosted version. By forbidding "freemium" services, i.e, either you charge from everyone or you don't charge from anyone.

> Money is power

This is exactly what I am contesting! Having more money can help with getting more power, but we can think of ways where the concentration of power is limited without having to fight over the discussion of how to limit the concentration of "money".

> you recommend removing civil rights...

No. People still keep property rights, and they are still free to associate with others. The only thing about my proposal is to eliminate corporations.
I didn't write that you need to program your website in C. Obviously it is more convenient to use high-level languages. Everybody wants to write less code. I use Python myself, although not for work. But it would be a good idea to design high-level languages so that it would be easy to compile and optimize them.

For example, JS has no classes and uses prototype inheritance, and you can even change prototype at runtime. This is absolutely useless, inconvenient feature and it makes optimization (like JIT compilation) much more difficult (for example, before calling a method you must ensure that the prototype didn't change, the method was not replaced and so on).

In 95% (arbitrary number) of cases you just need classes with a fixed set of fields and methods known at compile time, which is very optimizer-friendly.
you don't simply skip v0.69 ... hehe
This sounds like the unofficial versioning scheme of most Rust libraries. That and 2 years old libraries that are at 18.3.5 or something.
Yeah - I have exported loops for trade shows, and I did something similar in my work today.

PP does animations but the UI is so clunky, I just don’t have the patience with it, and it shows in the quality of what I produce. That’s the thing about Keynote in particular - I enjoy using it.
Not "official" as in "officially sponsored by PSF" but the PSF is undersupported and doesn't have extra resources for something like that. There are many longstanding projects that attempt to make Python faster by reimplementing it (or parts of it), and CPython itself has become incrementally substantially more efficient over the last few releases.

It's a bit unhelpful to mix in things that third parties (developers/publishers) have done with Nintendo's own behaviour here - the fan patch/translation thing was Square Enix, wasn't it? The quality of the Diablo 2 release is on Activision/Blizzard, not really Nintendo.

I agree on the hardware quality side - the joycons and the pro controller d-pad have been big issues for the Switch.
Requiring an administrator or other device to pre-authorize or manually approve a new device, by signing the new device key with a client signature key.

Why would you expect anything else? That’s like saying Wireguard or SSH servers should just accept any client. The purpose of mesh VPN controllers is to automate redundant key management, not to subvert the original security model.
> Former engineer turned PM here.

I think you'r experience as an engineer has biased your view. For example number 3 with your engineering experience you might think that but ultimately it's the engineering team that has to deal with the scaling not you.

Your incentives are to scale everything back to meet dead lines while the engineers incentive is to make every thing work so that when it goes live they don't get called into a meeting to be thrown under the bus. As the only one that actually produces something that can be criticised at the end of the day the engineers incentive is naturally to minimise that.

The problems that arise from this are not people problems, its not a problem with the engineers spinning stereotypes or pm being bad faith its a problem with incentives being aligned agains't each other.

Except that it's not a problem it's everything working as intended, the higher ups want pm and engineering to have it out with each other as they see that as checks and balances.

Most blog content from companies, sad to say, are created to boost the authority of your domain in a SEO sense. I.e. if you got good content people search for and read your domain will appear higher. Posting to another platform, without a canonical link, is counterintuitive.

I would like also a comparison with the String deduplication option ( XX:+UseStringDeduplication ).

From what I understand it doesn't use String.intern but makes different instances share the same underlying char array so I am wondering how it behaves.

I assume stupidity is to blame for SourceForge's current unpopularity. If they hadn't started bundling spyware with downloads and responded to GitHub's better features, their huge repertoire of legacy projects would have kept them relevant.

Would it be worth reading?
Reiserfs was pretty good, at the time. At one point, it got nerfed by Linux maintainers introducing bad changes against Hans' advice, resulting in damage to the filesystem reputation.

But Reiser4, which never got merged, was insane levels of amazing in latency and ops/second, and yet excellent in throughput still.

Reiser4 was a team effort, and the other participants have been maintaining it irrespective of Reiser's imprisonment.

Today, there are some legitimately non-crap filesystem efforts, but they are either not mainlined and not very active (Tux3) or not Linux (Hammer2 from Dragonfly).

XFS could be made less crap; The main complaint I remember from Hans (dentries shouldn't be packed with inodes) does still stand. Metadata work such as a simple ls on a non-cached directory taking forever and a day.

I am most hopeful that when Matt Dillon declares Hammer2 done, porting efforts will make it widespread in open source operating systems.

We applaud all these innovations and are glad to see what is being done with Kagi Lenses and Brave Goggles. The Web ecosystem and users need innovations in search.

Our own innovation in this domain go back to 2005 and was called Personal Search Engine. https://web.archive.org/web/20060220233451/http://www.mojeek... (first capture Feb 2006).

We are currently bringing this back (in Beta). RollYo innovated too (private Beta August 2005). Google Custom Search launched in October 2006. So there were at least 3 services that predate Blekko (2010).
I work around this issue by running multiple tailscaled daemons on different state directories and sockets.

E.g. I have the Tailscale macos application configured for the work network and then I run another tailscale daemon to connect to other home stuff:

$ alias tailscaled
tailscaled='sudo tailscaled --socket /Users/mkm/tmp/tailscale-mkm.socket'
$ alias tailscale

tailscale='tailscale --socket /Users/mkm/tmp/tailscale-mkm.socket'

I installed the tailscale binaries from sources with "go install tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale{,d}@main"
I wonder what an AI trained with Tolkien books would produce.

I'm pretty sure it has been a limitation by design, and not a technical challenge they needed to solve.
Python (and JS) is not optimizer-friendly and it is very difficult to write a JIT for it (you can read a description of JIT in WebKit dev blog to get an idea what it takes to write it).
Dude - it's way better for companies to hire developers directly, no need for a middle man like Astro that's charging 15% (eg. 15% of $80k/yr = $12k/yr in middle man fees)... platforms like letsdeel.com or remote.com charge as little as $50/mo per person to take care of compliance and payroll
While rootless is a curious technical trick I don't understand why the implementation ever left someone's laptop, both file and networking performance are utterly abysmal, which is completely at odds with one of the primary benefits of containers (near zero overhead).

Now this is the killer feature a search engine needs. Next, what about a feature to invert the goggles? For example, if I wanted to invert the "no Pinterest" rule to get only Pinterest results.

I don't really have any good use cases for this but it'd be funny, to me at least.
They could have simplified the payload then (layout, JS...).
You do need an suid binary to e.g. set a new user id map, since this requires comparing the user id range owned by you to what you're mapping, but you only do it once and it's a simple, secure operation.

Ok, how often do you take it out of the safe to do periodic backups?

How's access to the safe managed? What happens if you get a vindictive (ex-)employee with access to it? If the person with access to the safe loses the key, or gets in an accident and can't open it anymore, what do you do?

How do you audit access to the safe to make sure nobody's pulling down data and selling it for profit on the side?

How do you make sure you don't lose all your backups by having a butterfingers IT person drop the drive?

How sure are you that the latest backup doesn't contain files hit by ransomware, or worse yet, the ransomware itself?

If you're storing financial or medical data about the county's citizens, how are you going to handle the possibility of being legally challenged down the line about data storage practices?

Handling any data in an org of almost any size is surprisingly complicated, especially if it's other peoples' data. Most people don't realize the scale of the issue because they're coming from a place of mostly working with at-home backups.

In terms of spending feasibility: really depends on how funding gets allocated by the state. Like I said in another comment, the solution would be for the state to subsidize the fixed costs of putting this kind of infrastructure in place.

If GitHub could guarantee that the code Copilot had ingested was only made with OSS licenses, then I don't see what the problem is.

But as far as I understand, GitHub trained Copilot on any public repository on GitHub, meaning even if it doesn't have a license specified (so the user publishing it still has the copyright to it), then I don't see how it can be OK.

Yes, I did do that. My bad.

> Even after clearing the enormous hurdle of emigration, Russian citizens face discrimination in opening bank accounts, getting jobs, starting businesses and so on.

I’m sure this is not terribly different from the checks that the western world would (and, I say, very well should!) do on every citizen immigrating from a hostile country. It’s not a perfect situation, but nothing in this whole situation is exactly perfect.

Did you read about the Russian spy that was caught trying to infiltrate the International Criminal Court? He had been working on a cover story since 2010. That’s the level of the threat that we need to be prepared to thwart.

Of course, this diligence should be handled by the authorities and once a person passes all those checks, they should be considered just like anyone else.
«The kWh that goes into a unit of H2 will not matter much, because it is just sunshine and wind.»

Exactly. And that also means that eventual losses, arising from intrinsic inefficiency, won't have an impact on the environment, which is the main point.
I don't see why a fridge should talk directly do a server. That would be a lot of fridges to reflash or more likely replace the sensor if the server changes.

If they all go to a hub, all you have to do is update the hub, plus, the hub can do stuff like local alerts.

Symmetric encryption is probably the way to go for use cases that directly connect.

I wish there was something like an IPv9 (7 and 8 are probably taken!) with 48 byte addresses and a fixed layout. 8 byte ISP identifier, 4 bytes customer, 2 bytes subnet, 2 bytes device, and 32 bytes for a public key hash.

No more certificates, no more insecure LAN connections, just IP that's always secure no matter what as long as you have the right address, and even if you change ISPs you keep the key part of the address.

Yes, a county in the south Texas desert with fewer residents than a mid-size office park should just up and fire the one person in the county who could kind of do the job and was willing to do so each year for probably what a FAANG senior staff engineer makes each month.

This county, by the way, was bankrupted from having to deal with the corpses of dead migrants who were desperate enough to try to sneak in through it.

Same here. I like to think that it's because I have good taste and know how to find value for money. But I guess this may be why those products ultimately fail commercially; they're providing too much value for their low price; they can't stay competitive in a monetary system characterized by infinite inflation where there is intense pressure to keep prices down and consumers are forced to buy inferior products (the ones which they can afford) due to their lagging or stagnant wages. Consumer product companies which are not willing to keep degrading the quality of their products over time will inevitably become unprofitable. Unfortunately, charging consumers more is often not an option for them because there simply aren't enough high end premium consumers to make up for their loss of regular consumers... The masses of regular consumers just don't have the money anymore. The elite keep getting richer but they are shrinking in numbers. This shrinking pool of increasingly wealthy individuals is not interested in consumer-grade high quality products; they go straight for the absolute top of the range luxury products and although they spend many times more on a per-product basis, in aggregate, they spend much less than regular consumers would have as a group. Our monetary system systematically erodes total economic value by rewarding unproductive, rent-seeking members of society at the expense of productive members.
