Paths may be hit areas for UI interaction, though. I've no idea to how this translates to accessibility and if any of this can be exposed.

General advice: treat it like an image. If an image is good for the job, a canvas will be as well. Otherwise, if it is essential for navigation or getting the gist of that page, you may consider complementary elements or an all together different approach. However, if there is no sense in an alternative representation (like in the case of an arcade-style game), this type of content should be still allowed.
A human is a “he” or a “she” or maybe a “they.” “It” is an inanimate object.

Canvas is an HTML element for drawing graphics. It's by far the fastest way to draw and animate lots and lots of things. 2d/3d, it's all the same. Performance is not free, though. It eats CPU cycles for breakfast if you let it. And as you were told - you cannot edit it as it's a canvas, not a document.

The reason it's faster is because it is designed for that sort of thing, whereas web pages are meant to be mostly static, which is a good thing. Different use cases

Give it another year. Rumor mill is that many are silently seeking new jobs. The site is in a slow decline right now, several journalists talking about the weird consistency bugs they are encountering.

I suspect that with some time the people who are left there will burn out from the maintenance load due to the 70% cuts. Elon should have been more empathetic when cutting people, to not burn the good will of everyone who was left imo.
This was a huge problem with Apple’s laptop chargers several years ago. They would fray at the junction between the power adapter and the cable, resulting in another $129 out of your pocket and more e-waste. Granted, the power brick for a phone is much smaller, but the potential problem is the same.
If it was to go bankrupt, it's unlikely it would just be _shut down_; the creditors would take it over and install new management.

I'm pretty sure the "no free lunches" hardly affects the bottom line compared to avoiding the overhead of bureaucratic complexity from managing lots of people. thats just thrown in there to push a narrative to lower standards of worker compensation.
Thank you. You'd have to be made of stone not to be moved by that. It is interesting that we - humans - would probably happily follow down this path when presented with the opportunity to do so in spite of stories like these. And this isn't an all that unlikely outcome.

It’s such a shame, i really envy some of the features in Swift but I just can’t justify the risk with how Apple-centric it is. Too many times I’ve been bitten by ducks that quacked just like that one, I suppose.

It’s very “The Register”.
What the author is proposing is known in philosophy as the Pragmatic Theory of Truth, which says, essentially, something is true if it is useful to believe that it is true.

This is in contrast to the more widespread Correspondence Theory of Truth, which says that something is true if it corresponds to the way things actually are. This is a classical theory of truth held by both Aristotle and Aquinas.

Personally, I think the Correspondence Theory is far superior to the Pragmatic Theory. I don't want to believe in a religion because it feels good to believe in it. I want to believe in it because it's actually telling us true things about the way things actually are.

By the way, there are many other theories of truth, some quite out there. This entry on truth in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy gives a good overview: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/truth/
It's surprising really that they get away with showing absurdly low quality information like that next to their ads.
The article refers explicitly to "legacy datacenters ill equipped to handle new, higher wattage systems".

I'm not convinced this article makes a good case. It sounds like it's complaining that old data centers need to invest in their infrastructure.

I'm fairly confident the majority of people didn't have a dedicated deep fat fryer at home at any point in history. Unless you're actually referring to the sort of deep pot used on the stove for frying. In that case, then absolutely. A deep fat fryer in my mind is a standalone appliance.

They definitely fried food in oil and lard rather than delicately avoiding fats. No sense wasting good bacon grease when you can toss some eggs in there. And some bread too. Nothing like toast all sopped up in bacon grease.

For anyone saying citizens didn't listen to these experts, they've apparently never seen the magazine rack in the grocery store checkout. Or any of the millions of lifestyle articles and weight loss blogs informing desperate folks to run from anything with butter in it. I don't think my parents had a real stick of butter in the house until after I graduated high school. Low fat everything in that fridge until they saw me lose weight and gain so much more energy by eating low carb and high fat.

When you've got teachers in the classroom teaching the food pyramid to elementary kids, you're going to have some kind of impact on the way people eat.
Lenovo has a new version coming where you can twist it around and use the new (larger, color) e-ink screen as the primary screen, and the other side has an OLED panel, which is an awesome combination: https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/5/23541379/lenovo-thinkbook-...
I’ve lived in areas where religion is prevalent. Plenty of unhappy people who feel trapped in religion due to peer pressure, but there are also plenty of people who seem to benefit greatly from the sense of belonging, structure, and order that their religion provides.

The primary benefits seem to be the sense of belonging, support, purpose, and convenient explanations that difficult circumstances in their lives have a higher meaning.

It’s not for me, probably not for a lot of people in this comment section, but it’s clear to me from my experience that a lot of people do derive significant benefit from their religion. If you can’t understand why that might be the case for other people, you might be projecting too much of your own personality and circumstances on to others.
That seems unhealthy. You should just look out for your own health and not worry about the others

We argue about it all the time. That's why people get second, third and fourth opinions. That's why there are medical panels. That's why people sue doctors for malpractice.

I don't think XCode is exactly popular or viewed as anything other than necessary evil by many Swift app developers. Like a sibling comment mentioned, many people already use other IDEs to write the code and just use XCode to compile stuff because it is just so ass. Get the compiler invocation experience and maybe even the Apple Developer integration to a decent enough shape in a VS Code extension and XCode can start counting its days methinks.
Does staff turnover lead to better or worse products? Does a better work environment make for happier, more productive workers? If you’re interested I lower prices as a consumer, do you willingly accept lower raises, pay reductions or layoffs?

It should also be noted that this can be a side effect of some drugs and even supplements. If this happens to you and you're taking medication of any sort, let your doctor sort it out. Don’t assume you have a neurodegenerative disease.
It also affects what the what algorithm recommends for you and which comments on highly commented threads will be at the top and being verified doesn't protect you from being blocked by me.

$1650 isn't cheap, but it's pretty normal for the high end of mid-range ultrabooks. It's less than I paid for my M2 MacBook Air, which has neither OLED nor E-Ink. Truly high-end laptops easily go for $2500+, but it is nice that more budget-friendly (sub-$1000) options that aren't terrible do exist these days.

I'm certainly excited to see reviews for that Lenovo laptop when it comes out.

No arguments there.

> Plus, we have a lot of processing power on the client side, which should be utilised.

I don't agree with the "should" here at all. Lots of the stuff is done on the client these days which could be done cheaper on the server. If I'm visiting a site that's developed as an application then I fully expect to running a bunch of JS, no qualms there. But there is no reason my phone should be forced to build a bunch of HTML just so I can read an article, and that's the problem: people are developing information sites as "apps". This is a large factor of why my phone can't hold a charge for a full day.
A windfall doesn't change the tax brackets for what you made in your W2 though. Each bracket is fixed for various ranges of your income. The windfall in your example would be in it's own tax bracket unaffecting everything before it. And I'm pretty sure the windfall would be reported to them too. So yeah, they would already know. Your example isn't accurate.
She knows. Code where it matters is wrong.
Being a usual on Reddit would have allowed you to enjoy several headlines of Trump daring to take two scoops of icecream, concentration camps and mass hysterectomies at the border, several conspiracies about blackmail with a video of prostitutes pissing on Trump and a whole lot of absurd stuff about Russia and social networks I won't even dive in.

I will add Rittenhouse being called a white supremacist by Biden though.
The companies using it didn't (generally) have a commercial relationship with the authors, so I'm comfortable leaving the users holding the responsibility. Fair question, though... I might even prefer to make liability only follow services, not code. So if you make a SaaS that takes PII, that's you're problem. If you publish code that can hold PII, that's still the problem of whoever uses it on PII.
JS is SO overused and abused right now!

It so happens that two months ago my cell ISP revamped their user page in such way that it no longer displays ANYTHING. No accounting, no payments, no traffic, not a single letter. On all of my browsers. Just because it (possibly) looks cool? Or money must be spent. Or whatever. And you can't file a complain - all you get is an AI chat bot. Of course it doesn't help bringing the site back of getting HTTP API. But it excels at annoying customers.

Anyway, customer support was almost always useless: "Update you browser, buy a new device" is all they have to say.
This is well-illustrated by that Delta(?) promo that got shared around the internet a few years ago that (without authorisation I believe) touted the number of Apple employees they were shuttling to and from China on a *daily^ basis.

For a layperson like me, this sort of day-in day-out contact with the supply chain puts this justification will within the realm of reason.

I also can’t imagine that “hardware” and “software” teams aren’t in complete isolation. At the very least, being a more hardware-focused company potentially affects Apple’s overall company culture in a way that would have this impact on their hiring practices.
For a corporate setting where you can replace keys easily, I would choose Fido keys and SSO protecting all access into the network instead of OTP/VPN as that is generally immune to social engineering attacks / leaked passwords. Additionally, it’s trivial to manage those keys in a corporate setting centrally.

For personal use, I still prefer OTP because I’m not fully comfortable that I won’t lose some key and forget to revoke it everywhere and/or lose permanent access. Phones are getting very good at being that security key with backup but I’m a little hesitant to do that because I’m not sure of the interop story.
I used to think this, but I am almost certain I was wrong. It really just didn't matter at all what I did or didn't do, and there are already so many people grandstanding to each other all the time that it's just more noise on the noise pile. Now I try to avoid it and focus on more interesting things.

Anyway, I think people who say dumb things on the internet suffer much more for not getting attention than being corrected.

I think developers have a very skewed view of this topic. I am not a developer, I just compile software that I want to use. People like myself are not replacing our system compilers with random third party ones. And yes, we expect to be able to compile things and it usually works out with languages like c, c++, etc.

Realistically nearly everyone gets their compiler from their OS. It's only developers that don't.

You should never trust the marketing department to accurately convey any security model and should assume anything published regarding security has been approved by marketing.

Avoid companies that require data which isn't required. Overlook companies with previous vulnerability disclosures that leave you facepalming. Ignore companies that pre check marketing anything. Blacklist the companies with GDPR ignorant cookie "consent." Black hole companies that kill the planet to bring you advertising while telling you you're killing the planet.

I would make a joke about what remains. It wouldn't be funny. There are still lots of companies left however and those are the ones that gave at least a signal about caring about you.
