We went forward with this exact solution years ago at a company I worked for. In our case our mobile usage was actually really low compared to web. It just didn’t make sense to invest in native development. So we found React Native with web views to work pretty well. We also tried React Native Web, it was a lot newer and kind of an experiment back then. It was cool that we could get it to work but the web results were a little crazy when you care about semantic markup and SEO. It might have changed a lot since then.

More recently I worked on a team that wrote a lot of business logic in C++ to share across android and iOS. We ended up compiling it to WASM and we were able to build a web interface pretty quickly. A lot of languages are trying to make this easier. Kotlin standing out to me as an easy learning curve and prioritizing this. Challenge there is not using Java platform specific libraries on the shared stuff.

I do think there is something to be said for sharing pieces of the UI too.

I think the future looks bright for multi platform development. There is still some work to be done but it’s all heading in the right direction in my opinion.

I think you’ll have iOS, Android and Web specific code mixed with multi platform pieces. Both business logic and UI.
The key is knowing how much preparation is required to start. Personally, I lean more towards “just enough to start”. Then I flesh it out as I go, if I hit a brick wall, then I pause “to prepare” for the next go.

What this does is ensure that I always have enough to get a task done as opposed to overindulging in “preparation” at the cost of real progress.

Good luck, everyone. Wishing you success 2023.
Due to the amount of very high profile celebrities and politicians connected to this case, it's a real possibility somebody could have murdered him or pushed him to suicide, this is far from a normal case. Good luck finding any evidence either way though.
So, wrapping a web app in a webpage in a native app is the future?
The Smartphone Effect on the Camera Market
None of that is remotely interesting to people with experience with prisons. There are tons of dangerous criminals and he was on suicide watch until he wasn’t, at which point he committed suicide. There aren’t enough resources to watch all of the prisoners all of the time, so he waited until he wasn’t being monitored and then committed suicide. Donald Trump ran the DOJ who controlled the BOP would be the only person who could have “arranged” anything and he was notoriously uninterested in details of things so just nothing else even plausibly makes sense from a conspiracy level.
Imagine the front page was actually like that.

The front page is like that? It's just that most titles are obvious to most people but they certainly aren't to everyone. A tiny minority aren't 'majority-obvious' but that's fine.

As to guidelines, it's not explicitly in there but there have been many mod comments about it, it's in the title caselaw.
Interesting tech. Looks like it's developed by hey.com, and their email app on Google Play store is only 9MB, which is impressive.

From what sparse commentary I could find online, looks like this is a middle ground between web dev and native dev. It allows reusing server logic to emit html markup for mobile UI, but requires platform developers to put in the necessary native pieces piecemeal (sensible choice considering the leaky abstractions in react native).

Why does Chrome correct “antisemitic” to “anti-Semitic”?
Slight changes in spelling or grammar can have political implications, and to some people, spelling the term as "anti-Semitic" is analogous to, say, referring to the "Democrat party" or using "Jew" as an adjective.

I don't really want to trigger an unproductive debate on which spelling is correct because I know all the points and counterpoints. Or, I mean, I did know and probably have forgotten some but it's tiresome anyway.

I'm more wondering if Google has taken a side, or something slipped through, or if anyone besides me has noticed and made it an issue.

ChatGPT, by the way, ties itself in knots if you ask it questions about the origin of the term.

"The term "Semitic" has a long history as a linguistic and cultural term, and has always been used to refer to the group of languages spoken in the Middle East and North Africa, including Hebrew and Arabic. However, the word "antisemitic" was first used in the late 19th century to describe attitudes or actions that were hostile or discriminatory toward Jews. This word was formed by combining the Greek "anti," meaning "against," with the English word "Semitic," which was used at the time to refer specifically to the Jewish people and their culture.

In this context, the term "Semitic" was being used as part of a descriptive phrase to refer specifically to the Jewish people and their culture, rather than to the group of languages spoken in the Middle East and North Africa. The use of the term "antisemitic" to describe prejudice or hostility toward Jews did not involve the adoption of a new meaning for the term "Semitic," but rather the use of this term as part of a descriptive phrase for a specific type of discrimination or animosity."
>Another option is to cablecut. If Comcast don't want you using their service, then don't.

Comcast always tries to give you free devices, cable boxes, streaming sticks etc., even when you have just internet service from them. Aside from all these issues, there's another downside to "free cable", which is that they tack on various fees (HD fee, technology fee, etc.) even if the base price of internet + cable may seem the same as just internet. So, never get get cable.
> Those weren’t races.

The nuclear arms race, space race, and missile race (the second being intimately connected to the third, and in a way its public face, at least initially) were, in fact, races (and components of the broader arms race) and they, in fact, started before Kennedy was in office (the space and missile races, under Eisenhower.)

That Kennedy capitalized on that reality, and built a strategy beyond the most obvious superficial goal of those races, is clear, but to say that he “started” the Cold War arms race is silly and ahistorical.

I believe that if you extend it to all the services you get a communist state. There may be no profit for sure but you get low performance as well with a lot of corruption.

Also no amount of housing will fix the issue with people wanting to live all in the same place(i.e location, location, location). You can build your own house if you want to cut off the middle man but it won't be in the city center.

This is bad advice and just plain wrong.

There are horrible slow or just badly built apps written with native stack as well.

Native is worthwhile for “appstore only” businesses. Mostly. For everyone else, a universal web app is the recommended path forward. Anyone who has a web app should absolutely avoid rewriting the same business logic three times over in native languages just for the appstores. It’s a nightmare to maintain and sync up three teams and codebases, not to mention also insanely expensive.

The future is pwa + webassembly + webview, and there’s no advantage of native over web whatsoever.
> It was a year of difficult but necessary decisions, of important steps towards Russia's full sovereignty and a powerful consolidation of our society.

No. It was a year of poorly made and unnecessary decisions which have only made Russia weaker.

> The moral and historical truth is on our side.

It really isn't.

> Russian servicemen, militiamen and volunteers are now fighting for their homeland, for truth and justice, for reliable guarantees of peace and Russia’s security.

No. Putin's vanity is the only reason for the invasion of Ukraine. It has achieved nothing.

> I consider it very important that in the outgoing year, such qualities as mercy, solidarity and proactive empathy have become especially important in Russia.

Good. Demonstrate the importance of these qualities by getting out of Ukraine.
In the United States there has to be evidence of a specific crime. Being an associate of a scumbag isn’t illegal, nor is having taken a flight.
I had that working for the last year or so, for the exact same reason. But for a few weeks now my wine'd Chrome can no longer access any page, as if it can't access the network or something. Tried reinstalling it, but that didn't help either. Any ideas?
As always it’s going to depend on the app. The Tesla mobile app in React Native works perfectly fine for me on iOS.

At the same time web views for YouTube would probably suck.

So many situations and so many options… again I’m very optimistic about the direction things are goin.
>I'm hoping that with SteamDeck these issues get sorted, as more people use it as a docked media player.

Why won't it be the same deal as ChromeOS or Android ? It'll work with some blessed config of widewine L1, and not if you do your own thing on the device.
Melbourne Mayor says vandalism of QR codes for reporting graffiti 'frustrating'
I wonder that myself. I assume that his death makes things simpler for those who would have been inconvenienced by his testimony, but who knows. I think it depends on whether he could still be useful to people if he couldn’t officially exist anymore.
There are some users who like to consolidate their tools. It’s super flexible from what I’ve seen (not a user), so that you can replace Notion, Linear, and may be a few other tools. I found it too complex and hard to get a grasp without hours of training.
Very few people are going to be setting the compile time options for the libraries that implement HTTP/3 to enable plain HTTP/3 (no one has for HTTP/2). So Google, MS, Apple, etc not supporting plain HTTP/3 is a defacto standard more powerful than the spec Google/MS openwashed through the IETF.

You're arguing that his murder would have gone through official BOP channels?
Just the other day I did an experiment while writing a new Electron app. I created a Hello World -- once using React, and another with just static HTML & Vanilla JS. The React version, literally just the default Hello World page, was already noticeably slower and jankier at startup than the static HTML version.

Tack onto that experience however many NPM packages the average React app imports, maybe some hastily written synchronous calls that play fast and loose with your main thread, and it's not difficult to see why Electron and web apps in general get a bad wrap. It's not unavoidable, it's just lazy practices.
~67% of tech graduates at large Canadian universities move to another country. As someone who has done technical hiring in Canada there is a absolute massive influx of immigrant tech workforce, nearly 10:1 on job applications.
What we are talking about here is Organizing and Sustaining a Directed Effort. You've got the Directed Effort and the Organizing, but Sustaining needs some attention. For me that means reviewing my projects every morning, noting progress, noting what's next, and visualizing eventual success. Visualizing success is an emotional experience, and I do it to reinvigorate my motivation. Works for me.

> that has been solved by Linux distributions a long time ago

Certainly not. A recent example: I wanted to try a KDE distribution, so I installed Neon which has three dependency updaters by default: pkcon, apt, and snap. If I use Python or Node, then I usually need to use their distribution management systems as well.

Dependency management is one area that completely fragments Linux into different distro universes.

I am not saying Windows is better (it isn’t) but if Linux had solved the problem, then most of us would share one solution.
Moonwalkers – Electric shoes that make you walk 250% faster
This can be solved by using namespaced names for packages from third-party repositories, e.g. "pytorch/triton" instead of just "triton". In this case package from one repo cannot replace another repo's package.
I skimmed the article, but one thing I didn't get is whether this is just a version difference (i.e., ChromeOS is on a different version of glibc), or is ChromeOS on a hard fork that will never reconcile with upstream ? If it's the former, it should resolve in due course; not so much for the latter.
Wars have consequences. Syria didn't need to wage war and attack Israel from the Golan Heights. What reason is there to go back to pre-67 borders?
Materialized views are a much more powerful tool when used on databases that properly support them.

When I’ve used them the database has transparently handled updating them efficiently as the source data changes.
In many ways we've seen that return to dumber hardware + smarter compilers in the GPGPU realm, although even there the hardware continues to get more capable over time.

Those applications tend to work, though, on the basis that either the compiler is generating fat binaries to support multiple architecture versions (e.g. Cuda), or some sort of IR, or compilation happens at runtime (e.g. OpenCL). It doesn't really work if you want to generate single binaries that will work performantly on a wide range of hardware versions - particularly important for users answering "how will application X work on future hardware Y", which really gets in the way of general-purpose use.

That's really the great advantage of putting more smarts in the hardware - you can evolve the processor design (often to improve performance) while executing the same binaries.

> If the private settlement includes a gag condition for the primary criminal witness….

A civil settlement cannot include a condition prohibiting someone from testifying or otherwise cooperating with a criminal investigation, and one which purported to do so would be void.
Short answer: because they got there first.

Longer answer: it doesn’t really matter in the scheme of things. I saw where someone did the math of recovering all the corporate /8s (assuming that there was a justifiable reason for repossessing address space that they requested and were allocated fair and square). It would extend the IPv4 timeline by like a month and a half.

IPv4 is used up, and it’d be exceptionally difficult and expensive to claw back subnets.
I believe their claim is that a particular way of using fertilizer came from Townshend.

It comes down to whether you want to maintain a bunch of auto generated files which will never be automatically updated. I would rather maintain only the lines of code I write not ones that were generated by some tool and then immediately became legacy.

the 3.0.0 version that is available on pypi is now an empty package with updated description of

This is not the real torchtriton package but uploaded here to discover dependency confusion vulnerabilities

the compromised version is still available in pypi as version 2.0.0+0d7e753227 https://pypi.org/project/torchtriton/#history.

So technically, if you are pulling the older version of pytorch-nightly (specifically 2.0.0.dev20221230), it will still pull that compromised dependency (because torch have explicit version lock to it).
This is utter nonsense, so completely removed from reality.
Countries in the EU are not losing their national identity or culture, not even remotely. I'm guessing you have never been anywhere near an eu country.

I like Greg Egan's formula for stories of coming up with a "small" change to fundamental physics, and then follow all of the consequences to their logical conclusions to build the world. It's <https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Mohs/OneBigLie> to a T. And I really like the "Science" pages on his website that explain these worlds, which a bunch of his books have, including this one (where there are 8 long-lived generations of leptons), Orthogonal (where the time dimension is spacelike), and Dichronauts (where one of the space dimensions is timelike).
> There’s literally a black book with names in it, as well as flight records.

That’s…not proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Heck, its probably not even probable cause of any crime.

> There is plenty of evidence here to get started on a charge

There is evidence enough to open investigations, sure. Law enforcement agencies don’t generally announce that.

Whether there is evidence to do more than that is…speculation.
Putting the key idea last after building up the essentials is a common geek failure mode. It's a bad idea because it discourages readers from finishing. It leads directly to TL;DR.

> The United States was never an empire

1865? Military suppression of secession is not a voluntary federation... it sure looks like an empire to me since then. The focus on non-contiguous regions to meet the definition of empire feels beyond what is required given empires can be contiguous.

Can a state democratically secede in the modern age? My (non-US) understanding, is no, it's "unconstitutional". Pfft.
> The article further vindicates Graham Hancock's complaints of vicious mis-representation. His projections are certainly wrong in myriad details, but he is totally sincere in advancing them.

I’ll +1 some of this - the evidence is mounting that standing theories re. the end of the last ice age, impact hypothesis, development of civilization, at the least deserve another look and not quite so much dogma. More underwater archaeology is needed off the coasts, and under the Amazon and probably Sahara. These are all tough places to investigate but who knows, maybe we need to push our civilizational history back a few thousand years.

Graham really can’t clutch his pearls too much though. His early stuff was just kooky and he still has a tendency to weave way too much of the metaphysical and flat-out conjecture into his ideas. It turns academics off (putting it mildly), exactly the people who’s credibility and attention he craves. It’s tough for me to tell when Graham has actually done some interesting research and is calling out something real vs Graham when he’s nine oh-what-if-they? levels deep into conjecture.

If Graham would put his head down, eat a great big ice cream scoop of skepticism chocolate, and then go do investigative work and let the facts lead him - full stop - he’d probably make a ton more progress with his ideas than he has.
These articles always focus on the fine or settlement but they rarely address the amount of profit Google will lose in the future from not being able to continue violating laws and privacy.
A market's efficiency would increase if traders who is less informed than the average starts index investing instead of trading (poorly). If traders who actually have more information than average go into index investing, you actually might lose market efficiency (by not trading positions that they could profit off more than passive investing).

An increase in market efficiency means the prices of the equities match their true value faster.
Thanks for the insights!

In my defense, 1.5X is "not much" when compared with 5 to 100X :-)

> Failure to report the specific crime of child sex trafficking / rape is a crime itself.

Generally, not, AFAICT. State laws (in some cases, under a federal mandate requiring states to do so to receive federal funds) designate a variety of mandatory reporters (one of the most universal of which is health care providers), but there is no federal universal reporting mandate.
From my understanding, neither.

It's the same code (presumably) but Chrome OS's version was compiled with metadata that said it was running on Chrome OS and Linux's version was compiled with metadata that said it was running on Linux. And that metadata is later embedded into the license request which Xfinity's servers check.

Of course, that's just my assumption from what I understand. I can't verify anything due to how obfuscated Widevine is. But due to how long-lived this problem has been, the two Widevine versions having the exact same version number (4.10.2557.0), and that everything else Widevine-wise works, I'm inclined to believe that this is intentional.
A lot of money is spent on such high profile cases at various levels. Monitoring the person 24/7 costs nothing in comparison (at least, checking that cameras function)!
