Digital Markets Act: ensuring fair and open digital markets
I've heard of something like this too for popping dislocated joints back into sockets. It sounds super creepy because you apparently still scream out in pain but don't remember it.
Counterpoint: The way that every single screen on iOS has a separate "back" button you need to look for vs just having it unified by the OS is an incredibly frustrating UX.
And that is the point: price discrimination. For some 22 dollars is expensive, so they will do some work for the 12-14 dollar rebate. People making good monies won't care too much, or not at all.
As a reader I would prefer the writer not repeat themselves and write less, rather than try to find some fancy way of not “sounding” repetitive, but in reality finding yet another way of repeating. I prefer actual repetition to that.

More precise words aren’t always better either. Having someone easily grasp what you are saying works much better for conveying information.

Seems like it uses a WebGL feature that Firefox doesn't support? Whatever the boolean "isManualMipMappingSupported" refers to probably doesn't work in my browser (because EXT_color_buffer_float is supported by Firefox and so is normal WebGL and those are the three checks that make "WebGL is not available" appear). At least the detection is done based on feature detection rather than simple user agent filtering, so this demo should work when Firefox eventually adds whatever feature this site is relying on.

There's a line in the console that says "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71247789/how-do-you-rend...". This leads me to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71247789/how-do-you-rend... which appears to be a Firefox bug?

GNOME Web gives me a completely blank page so whatever version of WebKit that's running is utterly unsupported as well...

Looks like WebGL isn't as broadly supported as I thought!

I'm not being facetious here but I have no idea what you mean by "apple quality".

I've been using Macbook Pros for a long time. In my opinion "Apple Quality" died way back in 2013, possibly 2015. After that, they started introducing user-hostile phones, laptops, etc. The touchbar is a travesty and now you have to pay more money to have a normal experience.

The feeling of the laptops and aesthetics are nice but the parts are garbage. When (not if) your mainboard finally goes out you may as well buy a new laptop. 2018 model Macbook Pros had horrendous keyboard issues that they finally were forced to issue a warranty (however, there are big caveats). Darwin is an abomination with all sorts of edges to cut yourself on. It's unix enough on the surface but the second you need to do anything really unix-y it's not there. OS X itself is a very cleverly disguised walled garden you cant break out of.

Let's not even talk about the phones. Every phone just simply adds more gadgets. The operating system's only benefit is it is more "privacy first" than Android. However, in exchange for that you get the most walled of gardens. You can't even get a decent browser installed and it still sends all your data home. They are also far more fragile than androids and infinitely less serviceable. I have an iPhone from 5 years ago. I refuse to buy another one. I also will not buy an android. They're all terrible. Unless, I guess, you like handing over your entire life to a faceless corporation for some real neat-o gadgetry. The spying seems to get worse with every iteration.

Apple produces garbage products. The reason companies prefer them is the consistency across models. If you want actual quality there is better for far, far cheaper.
Yes! Just don't fall prey to pareidolia or paranoia.
Uhh... Apple goes to every length to make sure people know the difference. You don't buy a smartphone, you buy an iPhone. Your phone doesn't have a punch-hole camera, it has a Dynamic Island. They market every product like it's a Disney amusement park ride and throw product announcement festivals, everyone knows there's a difference. Apple's job is convincing customers that they're special for enjoying Rich Corinthian Leather or lickable UI elements.

Apple has huge profit margins because their software margins are literally larger than their hardware ones. If you're familiar with the history of Microsoft/Google products, that should be a big flashing light telling you to leave ASAP.
What do you expect a "video solution" to do?

oh yeah, then they're totally fine...
A language like this one can be used to develop cryptography libraries like OpenSSL.

If two documents have the same length, but differ in the time it takes to encrypt them, then their encryption times leak information about their contents. In cryptography, this is an example of a "side channel" - and side channels are considered bad. A "constant time" language helps minimise the presence of such side channels, making it useful in cryptography.

Can you please respond to the comments below? I'm tired of ppl. bringing up nuclear and then ducking the debate
> when someone has an expectation to be paid, for an authored story, in whole or, in part [regardless of validity] someone that re authours or disseminates that material, gains from it and refuses to pay anything from, they usually get more than DMCA takedown, are labeled pirate and taken to court.

Your framing of this (specifically. "re authours or disseminates that material") glosses over the difference between what actually happens when you "pirate" something vs when you link something. In the former case, you're reproducing it verbatim or using it to produce derivative work, whereas in the latter you're merely referencing it. I don't see why you should owe the original author anything for merely referencing the work.

Tests could verify that the transpiler correctly maps certain C constructs, but that almost doesn't matter. There is a fair chance that the translation won't work anyways if there's too much C sorcery and undefined behavior involved.

The idea of continuous two-way synchronisation between codebases is migraine-inducing to begin with. Even though Rust can probably transpiled to C with way less risk of losing fidelity. But I wouldn't be so sure that this always works out the more `unsafe` blocks the Rust version requires. C compilers are not designed to minimize UB after all, and the results can be very surprising.

Yes, I hope people are sane enough to eventually commit to a somewhat tidied-up Rust version and to only keep the C version around to conduct software archeology. Of course, this will produce a hard fork of the codebase, and the usual political reasons specific to such efforts apply.

No it’s pointing out the server side scripting part which was new to me. do analogs exist in those other hosting options? This seems like a really nice facility - closest analog client side wise is a service worker or something that adjusts fetch.
3D TVs sales once rose sharply too and now they’re dead. I laughed at those back then too. Samsung sold ~10M foldable phones in the same time Apple sold ~240M iPhones. It might be a success to Samsung but it’s a drop in the bucket overall. The first wave of people that buy them will realize it’s a gimmick and sales will drop after equilibrium between marketing reach and consumer dissatisfaction is reached.

This is really cool! Thank you for making/posting this. I played around with it for about half an hour to 45 minutes or so. I did manage to break it two or three times but I can't reproduce it reliably yet. I'll provide a proper bug report if I can figure out the exact conditions, but mostly if you go off road and get to the top of a big enough hill and then accelerate down the hill as quickly as you can and crash into a barrier you can sometimes flip yourself over it. When you do, you are no longer tethered to the ground and, instead, kind of hover above it and the road. Sometimes you can slip through the ground and the water, and all other barriers become passable.

This is one of the reasons I do intermittent fasting. I basically hold off on eating anything until around 4pm when I have a snack, skipping breakfast and lunch. I either have coffee or black tea once or twice but am careful not too have too much as it can make me sick on an empty stomach.

So, if it works for you, I recommend giving IF a try. Its pretty hard for some people and easy for others, but if it helps it might be worth it.

Alternatively, experiment with your carb / sugar intake. Try eating protein / lean meals for lunch and see if that helps.

This feels like a horribly dishonest sentence to start with. There are loads and loads of quality, well-built products in this world and many of them are even Android phones.

I see falsifiability as very much a positive and love me a bit of Karl Popper.

I just think that for a empirical outcome to falsify a theory we both need to agree on the same theory. If your theory is there is a shadowy cabal of pedophiles secretly controlling wokeness to hold down good old boys from decent jobs and my theory is that factory production in China is cheaper so why keep the factory in Detroit, exactly which facts are going to help us?

It took a lot to prove the Earth even spins, and orbits the sun. And yet if you had polled everyone in Europe or America from 1600 onwards, I am not sure when 50% of people would have said heliocentric, and do wonder when if ever the figure got above 95%.

Somehow the figure that Brexit and Trump votes split not on age but on further education seems relevant here - that university teaches new mental models. But somehow I am dubious that has explanatory power.
My current phone, that I'm very happy with, was 120€ while an iPhone 14 starts at 1009€ so I'm not exactly worried about lack of more Apple-like options.

I have an old Air and frankly, although the battery life, weight and hardware in general are fine, I didn't find the software so much better than Windows. Even in the hardware side, there are other brands catching up.

The problem with Linux is another entirely different story.
My biggest concern about this is that now it is in Emacs, there's no easy way to contribute to it, or follow development. Previously it was on GitHub and there was zero friction to contributing other than figuring out your elisp changes. But now, I think that Issues in the github site are discouraged, and so there will be no convenient way of watching issues and feature requests raised against the project, or of following discussion of proposed patches and code review. In principle of course, these things are possible by using old issue tracking applications and following often dysfunctional/cantankerous discussions in a email list, both of whose scope is the whole of emacs.

Yeah, Samsung has been doing an amazing job innovating with foldable phones which are sharply rising in sales (despite commanding prices higher than Apple phones).
I use lsp-mode and got a usable Typescript environment without too much work. I use prettier for formatting everything, so use prettier-js-mode regardless of LSP support, and it works fine. (I have pretter-js-command set to "npx" and pretter-js-args set to "prettier"; this is for our internal components library which I guess has a customized version of prettier for our internal conventions in certain project. I don't really know; I didn't set it up, but it works.)

lsp-mode pretty much seems to do the right thing for Typescript projects without any configuration. At work we use React/TSX, for personal projects I use Svelte, and Emacs can find all the symbols, provide correct completions, and point out obvious mistakes. My only complaint is that I can never get Emacs's indentation to match what Prettier wants to do, so I'll type a bunch of code, prettier-on-save, and everything gets moved around. Not a big deal, but something I'd look into more deeply if I actually did Typescript full time. (I just occasionally change frontend stuff, but mostly program Go. gofmt and Emacs agree on formatting, but I think that's because Go is opinionated about formatting and so it's easier for multiple tools to have the same opinion. With Typescript, anything goes.)

TL;DR: despite the eglot marketing campaign and its overall cleaner design, lsp-mode might be the thing for you. I try eglot every 6 months and always switch back to lsp-mode. It has its quirks and WTFs, but doesn't get in my way too much.
> Apple produces garbage products.

That's pure Apple bashing BS.

It could be refuted in so many ways, but I'll pick an easy one.

Apple silicon Macbooks Pros.

They have no competition. The nearest competition you can find needs to be plugged into the mains, and even then it doesn't perform as well as Apple.
But I don't see how charging a link tax is supposed to fight "monopolistic, rent-seeking behavior". It's not going to make it easier for another social media upstart to enter the market, so I don't see how it's supposed to stop "monopolistic behavior". Insofar as whatever "rent-seeking behavior" facebook is engaging in (mind elaborating on that?), I don't see how giving rent collection authority to a particular industry fixes that. At best it allows more rent seekers to collect money from the original rent seeker.
I have never seen an example where you land a JS file in a static website in git and it just runs as part of server side middleware. Seems legit novel but would like to know other examples.

The current incarnation is exactly what I’m talking about. You don’t need to ship it and market the hell out of it just in anticipation for some other actually usable incarnation to reach maturity.

The waiting until a technology is mature enough to be useful to consumers is exactly what Apple is known for and what separates them from the rest.

How much of PG's blog is based on setting up strawmen and using them to bash on the liberal arts?

> Even one sentence of this would raise eyebrows in conversation. And yet people write whole books of it.

These sentences immediately identify one big, relevant difference between speech and non-blog writing, which is not commented on in the blog post: people do not generally give book-length monologues on a single topic. Books will necessarily end up using more flowery language because if they didn't they would be extremely boring to read.

> perhaps worst of all, the complex sentences and fancy words give you, the writer, the false impression that you're saying more than you actually are.

On the other hand, simpler words and sentence structure give the reader the false impression that you're being more honest than you actually are. Demagogues (especially of the right-wing variety) have known this for centuries: people like simple ideas. Making an idea sound simpler, even if at the expense of actual clarity, means that people will agree with you more readily. That can be dangerous.

But even assuming you're communicating in good faith, sometimes you really need the nuance that only more sophisticated language can grant. In speech, we tend to do this by inflection, body language, and gestures; in writing, those aren't available, so we do it with vocabulary choice and more careful sentence structure. In English (and many other languages), a single spoken word can have dozens of different connotations, or a sentence dozens of meanings, depending on tone and emphasis (see https://bridgeenglish.com/blog/2012/08/28/who-stole-the-mone... for a classic example). In writing, we have to be more precise with the words themselves.

All of that said -

> If you simply manage to write in spoken language, you'll be ahead of 95% of writers

is probably true, but I think it says more about 95% of writers than it does about what's actually good. In most disciplines, the techniques it takes to become "not terrible" are qualitatively different from the techniques it takes to be "good". I would posit that writing is one of those; the best writers are fundamentally treating the written word differently than those of us who just want to get through the day and be understood on a basic level. Moreover, "top 5 percent of writers" is not really that good, considering that most readers are reading the same vanishingly small fraction of writers. Even in a professional capacity, where you're going to read design docs and such from a wider array of writers (as opposed to the extreme power-law distribution of novelists), I'm certain that the top 1 in 20 writers in my company are read way out of proportion to everyone else, and some of them are still terrible writers.

PH is a giant pyramid scheme where people just compete for the #1 badge each day. what the most successful products do is launch everywhere else first, and then after a few months email their happy customers to support them on PH. this is why you are #20 because you didnt study the game

You can pasteurize poop. Granted it would be a pretty inglorious process, but it's not unheard of in certain communities. In my experience it's typically horse excrement which has an entirely different composition, but I imagine that could be remediated without much additional effort. Coconut coir, sphagnum moss, grass clippings.

I can't imagine why the process would be ineffectual (other than emitting smell loud enough to be heard for miles), but I'm no microbiologist.
