Where does the child fall on this hierarchy... do they get any input in what technology they derive value/enjoyment from, or is that entirely dictated by adults in their community who grew up 20+ years ago?
I'm a huge JetBrains nerd. Love their stuff. Definitely married to their IDEs at this point as muscle memory, however:

Their quality has gone down hill lately. Plugins are a bit half baked or missing lots of functionality. They for the longest time would eschew using the community available LSP as opposed to trying to build their own, they finally capitulated on this (I saw this with the Vue related updates in Webstorm that they're using Volar now, for instance)

I know they're likely throwing alot of effort behind Fleet, but its taking way too long to get out the door as usable. Its missing too much. Its a chicken / egg problem in that I can see how Fleet is the next generation of Jetbrains but its not far enough along to supplant any of their IDEs because its missing too many features and plugins.

I really hope this is a lull (all companies have them) and they come out swinging again soon
But Googles makes way more, will make compete with Google even harder in the future (deeper pockets).
Can you explain how you use it for teaching/study? I also have used it to learn but with mixed results. Recently, I've been asking it to write me outlines so I can have somewhat of a learning plan.
Leaving aside the hyperbole and going back to the question from before, when is dietary sugar advantageous, and is adding extra refined sugar ever beneficial? To my understanding sugar is present in foods that are good for other reasons, but the sugar itself is only useful in niche situations when you need blood glucose fast, and there's almost never a health reason to add more.

This is in contrast to carbs in general, and to protein and fat, where some level of each is useful in the diet and provides a reduction in mortality and CVD risk.
The issue with lobsters is the difficulty of joining it, which I suppose is a feature.
It's very easy, it's like learning to flip only heads on any coin, billions of times in a row.
The excuse for having parents place absurd limits on screen time and video games (at home) was the same as with smartphones in schools is now, that they're going to distract kids in school.

With TV and video games, the fear being pushed was that kids would talk about them in school instead of about studying and that they would be distracted by thinking about watching TV or playing games instead of paying attention to class.
None. I tried many including GitHub Copilot.

I think these tools are not there yet, mostly because they’re simply producing wrong/non-compilabe code way too often.

I see a potential in creating modern AI-supported plugins targeting specific software development areas like test code generation, auto code review etc. though.
I don't like Google's grasp on so many vital parts of the web but somehow, it seems like google is actually in trouble.

AI is going to completely change search if it hasn't already, and google is not even close to compete in this space.

Video has some massive competition from the likes of TikTok. Anyway, YouTube isn't the only option on the market.

Gmail is still popular but since google has been pressuring users to pay, it's been easier than ever to find a reason to try another service.

Chromium can always be forked and have some parts removed or added, and as we all know quite a few browsers do this, some are quite popular.

Is google also losing IOS ads like Meta? If they do, that's another reason for alarm for them.

I'm not sure google is in the best position for the future and WEI is not going to be their golden ticket either.

And, if your prediction that web will change actually comes to pass, well then it'll be just another cycle for this space that has changed countless times since the age of dialup. The web is going to change, again and again, but as long as people are still free to set up a server and let the world access it, we can still do what we like with it.
I was skeptical, but I've really grown to like it, with a few tweaks

You don't need a package manager in your production container, you need one for the dependencies to build your artifact (in previous stages) which gets passed on, on it's own, statically compiled, to the empty container.
Also a risk of polyglot environments. You can easily end up with teams that lack deep knowledge of the languages and libraries you're using.
We are not taking Nazi seriously either when they write about Jews or other non-Germans. It is not a conspiracy theory to believe that colonizers and genociders make stuff up so that their victims sound evil.
> Or crawlers, for that matter.

Companies like Google love kicking down the ladder. You can bet that the Google crawler will have its own "attestation token" but if you want to crawl the Web with your own code you'll be SOL.

All these billion-dollar tech companies got their start thanks to open, accessible, hackable systems. Now it's all being locked down so only the big guys can play, and the rest of us have to pay a fee just to put our "apps" into their walled gardens, and if we do anything they don't like (or are just unlucky) then we get banned forever.
Yeah, if it's a server app, you can also sell it as a hosted service.
Blocking Meta's acquisition of that VR company was braindead. Absolutely pointless.
Yup!

Ideally, you want to do this analysis on compiler IR, _before_ it gets lowered to LLVM IR. But to do that in a sustainable way, you need a quasi-stable internal IR format. Zig is rather new, and, while the compiler is a delight to hack on, there are no stable extension interfaces, and the code itself is very much not settled yet. So that's the main thing we get out of LLVM IR here is relative stability. You can quickly hack something together, and be reasonably sure that you won't have to spend a lot of time upgrading the infra with every compiler upgrade. LLVM IR of course is not absolutely stable, but it is stable enough, and way more stable than compiler internals at the moment.
This is a VERY exciting time in Space!
Honestly, if the work is going to be done (again it should not be done), I'd rather have it out in the open.
I hate this, and the general trend. At least, on GTK apps, you can disable the min/max/close buttons. Now the window looks like Windows. It also has two useless buttons, since I'm running a TWM there's no "minimize" nor "maximize". I could already not show a title bar if I wanted, now I can't get rid of the useless buttons.
I'm having trouble finding coverage in this, but I believe the current state is that the warrant can require you to unlock the phone but you don't have to tell them how or provide your password.

Its really bad, it takes almost a minute for the site to "stabilize", and even then, default text in the search bar is overlaid with whatever you're typing, a good 30 seconds to load a destination.

A chrome browser on the same device has maps behave almost instantaneously.
Maybe but I think Brin and Page are keen to live forever so Verily is their hedge and research playground in that area. It also serves as a translational testing ground for applied AI innovations in the life sciences.

Let's see that positively: with such a moratorium, we're less at risk of having some AGPL software used without respecting its licene terms :-)
1. Driver stability

2. Works on more consumer grade cards

3. Ecosystem advantage (lots of software developed against an existing and well supported ecosystem)

I have a laptop with a mobile 2060 and a desktop with a top-of-the-line consumer 7900XTX. As of yet, the 7900XTX isn't officially supported (and I haven't bothered to go down the obnoxious rabbit hole to figure out how to compute on it). Meanwhile, I can load up CUDA.jl on my laptop in mere minutes with absolutely no fuss.

Edit: if there are any GPU gurus out there who are capable of working on AMDGPU.jl to make it work on cards like the 7900XTX out of the box and writing documentation/tutorials for it... start a Patreon. I bet you could fund some significant effort getting that up and running!
And?

I find it mindboggling that a simple program like text processors have to be continually updated for decades. Just program it right once for god sakes.
By "increased supply" I meant - more artists were able to offer their music on the service. So each artist has a way bigger competition now. It was much harder to release a CD or get your songs on radio than get on spotify, bandcamp and youtube.
No I don't think so. Next.js adds a truckload of functionality to React, plus handles the server side, etc.

Expo aims to abstract away everything that a web developer wouldn't inherently understand when moving to mobile, i.e. the native stuff. Whether or not it succeeds in that mission, or if it's worth it, is up for debate.
Exactly. We put children into a 12 year long institutional dictatorial meat grinder with absolutely no say about anything (well, maybe a few electives in high school).

It stems from "children" (aka under 18) having absolutely no rights, and the parents having all. And the schools are in loco parentis, so they can do mostly anything they want.

And I find hilarious that this country extols republics and democracies as the best forms of governance, yet 2 places we humans spend most of our time in (school, work) are dictatorships. And we usually are powerless in choosing schools, and only have some power to choose which company to work at.

I wonder if the commenter who was talking about dark patterns might look at the notional implementation for this and say it feels like the tool holding your plans hostage.

I'm also curious how much you would see yourself returning to this "read-only" view. I don't imagine there would be a lot to do if you can't make changes to anything.
There is no one authority that can enforce a "global ban" anyway.

I believe this is just an appeal to school authorities worldwide - asking them to recognize the downsides and take concrete measures in their own way to keep smartphones away from learners in the classroom setting.

If enough school boards agree and take such a stand -- others are likely to emulate / follow, parents and kids will come to accept it and adapt, and it becomes a defacto global ban.

I guess, somewhat similar to how public smoking has now become near universally "banned" or at least shunned.
I wonder what different effects tea has? I saw a study once that the boost you feel from coffee is only getting you to where you'd be if you never drank it. It's an illusory stimulation where you're just erasing withdrawal symptoms.
Everyone loves lowest common denominator.
There are many arguments against this but not many brought the implications for search engines.

If websites implement this, it will effectively make building a web search engine impossible for new entrants. The current players can whitelist/attest their own clients while categorizing every other scraping clients as bots.

If not for other reasons, I can't see how Google a search company can be allowed to push something that can kill competition using its market dominance in other areas like browsers.
Great perspective. I had not considered the effect of school shootings on this topic. Not a parent, but I suspect this has really driven parents to a place of fear (justifiably), leading to a need to ALWAYS know if their kid is ok at any moment, in schools and in general

Article 1 Section 1 is a good place to start. The system of checks and balances and the concept for the structure and format of representative government has proven itself incapable of being effective in the modern era.

We get nothing done, and what we do get done is exclusively to the benefit of those that can afford to finance campaigns. Our legislative branch is an absolute joke (life terms, like, really?) and the whole idea behind the senate is meaningless in a world where we can fly from one end of the country to the other in a day, and have instantaneous communication.

Our systems of voting are similarly backwards, designed in a time when you had to send a dude on a horse to communicate.

Seriously, page 1 rewrite. The whole damn thing.
Agreed, way too often even comments here use either "the World" or "the West" interchangeably with US (and maybe Canada), or the Anglosphere. It's just wrong and confusing.
I haven't had that impression at all. It used to stall and block all the time a couple years back and now it is all fluid even while indexing. But I'm using gradle not maven so that may be the difference.

> Plenty of people are using Word, Powerpoint, and Excel 2003 just fine

Are you claiming that a reasonable majority (for the sake of discussion) of this plenty of people are using Office 2003 on Windows XP machines??

I'd doubt it. More like there's plenty of people using old software in modern versions of Windows. The maintenance work, of course, exists and has been done indirectly, by Microsoft, in the development iterations of Windows itself.
I tried it recently and something I found immediately lacking is the breadcrumbs view. Without it I can't look at all the other code in the same package/folder/whatever.

Good question, though what you have in mind might be real time metrics, not analytics. Even then you might not need real time metrics to know whether your rapid changes are breaking things. An already established dev culture built on CI/CD, actionable health checks, feature flags/toggles, easy release rollbacks in emergencies are what you’d want. This way, your deploys are boring and you can focus on introducing new regressions, uh I mean features, fearlessly. :)
This is great advice. The best evidence you can perform a job is demonstrating that you’ve done it in the past.
I'd rather they bring cases and lose some instead of never bringing cases and letting the corporations do whatever they want with no fear of consequences.
This is a good idea. I have found that since I started working for an old established fortune 500 [non tech] company, my work life balance is much better. Benefits are very good and no one bothers me when I take vacation. Get out of startup and tech specific companies unless you love development work.

Personally I don't like software development, I have just put on the golden handcuffs that software engineering provides. I cant switch careers and take a massive paycut to do something i like.

An old big company is a good place to work for those of us that just want to work our 40 - 45 hours a week, get a solid paycheck and live our lives. Plus you can do solid work and feel good about it without the local 10x developer coming in to tell you its wrong.
Power bricks are certainly a huge failure point. Luckily they're cheap. It's a great place to fail if we must assign it somewhere
Absolutely. Independent bodies don't solve the other myriad issues with attestation, but they don't add the ones that corporate interests do either.
The "art world" is a specific term that references galleries, artists, museums, auctioneers, etc. It's also not American-centric, with significant art world hotspots in Hong Kong, Basel, Berlin, and London, to name a few.

I know Eclipse may be dated, but this is the main reason why I like to use it: it compiles a file when I save it. Java program then starts instantly - because it is already compiled - regardless of it's size... But I think you can also configure IntelliJ IDEA to compile on save and even use Eclipse compiler so you can compile and start programs with compile errors...
looked for a name for an evil player character in an mmorpg, back in the 2000 or so. The character lead a glorious life, and died a glorious death some day in 2005 or so, really hurt to let him go.

He'd eat cats from the streets, traded slaves for money and information and generally acted disgusting and fearful like Gollum in Lord of the rings. I used him to explore my own and other ppls darker fantasies, ppl are terrible xD.

Kept the name. It was created using dices and numbers on the alphabet. A=1, B=2 and so on.

- $10/mo - Midjourney

I use Dream Studio & Midjourney for cover art, etc.

Yes and: As you know, sucrose is composed of glucose (good) and fructose (bad). As I understand it, fruit has fiber which protects the body from fructose (blocks metabolism), and we still benefit from the glucose.

I still add sugar and honey and other sweets to my drink and food. Cuz I'm a fiend. But I do now try very hard to avoid straight fructose.
The issue with that is that most people here will only have their own website or product, which is already aimed at more tech-savvy people, who will already have made a conscious decision to use Firefox, Chrome, or whichever browser they prefer.

But we / this site only represents a small percentage. 85% market share means there are hundreds of millions, if not billions of users that would have to switch to make any kind of impact.

And you can't do that without being a very large company with an operating system or the most popular search engine or other ways to constantly tell people to use your browser, no matter how good or privacy conscious or whatever your own is.
Thanks for the feedback!

On Mac: you are right that recording audio causes your notifications to be hidden by default. There is an OS setting to change that behavior. Here's how to change it: https://help.rewind.ai/en/articles/7039599-what-are-the-limi...

On pricing: you are also right. We are thinking about new pricing & packaging that feels fairer. We're thinking about doing purely feature-based package differentiation (as opposed to tracking number of "rewinds"). Would love your thoughts or suggestions.

On muscle memory: again, you are right. Some of our users think of our product today as mostly insurance and don't actively use it every day. We hope to change that by giving them valuable things that fit into their existing daily workflow (e.g. summarizing meetings, telling you how you know the person you are about to meet with, proactively drafting emails for you based on context)
I'm sorry, but using the term "generative system" and complaining that this undermines the internet founded on "generative systems" is perhaps the least impressive way to get anyone to care about the open web. Using buzzwords from some random paper just overwhelms people and doesn't convince them to care.

Tell my uncle, or my aunt, that "Google wants to undermine the internet of generative systems!" Whatever. Tell them "Google wants websites to be able to block any devices you might have modified, in any way, that the website owner doesn't like" and you'll get a much stronger reaction.
Ignore those parents, they are just unable to handle on their own their own insecurities, mental issues, stress and other baggage and they bring it also to raising of their closest ones, with corresponding long term consequences.

There are dedicated terms for those, ie helicopter parents, control freaks etc.

The simple fact is, internet/mobile/information revolution came too fast, caught whole world by a massive surprise, and people had to cope with completely new benefits and drawbacks of this new aspect of their lives on their own. As with everything else, some cope better/smarter than others, and as usually nothing is black & white.

You are doing fine (judging solely from your description), don't worry what others say - its their problem.

I've edited my comment since it appears your the third person confused as to the possibility of using them on older computers.
I don't think this is connected with reality. Most companies don't have such strong lock-in, and those that do often have extremely valuable products.
This reminds me of one of my coworkers who was interviewing around for his next job. One company he was interviewing for had a website with public facing user profiles. My coworker found a SQL injection vuln and wrote a POC virus that would spread to any other account that was logged in while viewing an infected profile and took it with him to his interview, gave them the code, and showed them how they could fix it. He said they were really thankful for the information, but as he was retelling the story to us later we all talked about how that could have gone very badly.
Old internet vibe, simplicity, and quality content especially in the comments and ask HN.
Yes absolutely.
Ops people love spreadsheets and it is done in admin easily.

Also, with Admin site you can limit their ability to screw things up massively.

The amount of stress and time waste you remove by giving them pretty user friendly admin with such low effort is astonishing.

Start referring to them as "Chrome developers" -- what's this "web" thing you keep talking about?
Safari doesn't have the market share that they could affect a change, especially since it is only seriously available on Apple devices. but Chrome is still in such a position.

Next comes the state that demands clients are verified in a way that they can ensure the age and identity of the user. This doesn't lead to anything good.

Google was essential in securing the web. Their acceleration of HTTPS adoption was constructive. This is for their ad business, against privacy and against the open web for very questionable benefits.
You should still be OK although I agree that CMake is really annoying to approach if you don't know the projects idioms particularly well e.g. there is a recurring bug in one of our builds where OMP initialization causes a deadlock, which can thus be disabled by not using openmp at cmake-time: finding how to do this when I went to disable it permanently took a good 20 minutes of guesswork because it's CMake magic versus make bullshit
one example of a non-compliant browser would be something crawling the web and building up some sort of search index of things because I don't think we want anyone to be allowed to do that.
