Well that's certainly more intuitive than the old split / unified button. Unfortunately that basically revives the old split diff view and doesn't provide the useful out-of-band comments. Basically from a quick glance the buzzword view has a lot of good UI ideas that should have made it into the normal views as they have nothing to with actually running in a buzzword environment.

FWIW I'm benchmarking this against a PR where github is showing ~43,000 lines changed so things that are manageable in smaller changesets don't always scale.

Edit: I should also add that while the split view does exist in the non-buzzword environment, and there's even a (ugh) combo box to allow you to navigate to the inline comments, the split view actually hides the comments so they're completely inaccessible. Using the combo box does… absolutely nothing.

Decent ideas, atrocious execution as is tradition.

I could not disagree more vehemently. The old UI was ugly and clunky and anachronistic. I find the new UI much more readable, with a sensibly usable three-column layout, and much improved message list.

Of all the examples you might offer, it's ironic that you chose this one!

There's a TON of political history around breakfast cereal composition and advertising as well as ongoing reform campaigns and media criticism. In some cases, this has settled into formal regulations about things like what cereal boxes can look like and when advertisements can run. In other cases, it's involved collective industry "good behavior" meant to forestall regulation. But it continues to a problem because financial incentive always leads to optimizing for whatever can be gotten away with.

And yeah, social media companies are maturing as an industry and are now due to play that same perpetual game of government regulation, industry self-policing, and boundary-testing.
Probably one of the biggest quality of life improvements for me in iOS 17 has been that you can now now designate a list as a 'Shopping Lits' and it will automatically sort items into categories - so Apples Lettuce, etc go under a Fruit and Veg heading, likewise drinks, dairy, cleaning products.

> it is unpredictable and a driverless car that behaves this way is going to cause problems.

Sure, but less problems than if it just kept on going and hit something. While rare regular cars have unpredictable things happen and many of them are a lot worse than a car coming to a controlled stop on the road. As a driver you need to be able to handle that. When there is a catastrophic failure of the vehicle the other vehicles need to safely react.

No, the clearinghouses are middlemen between healthcare providers and health plans. They are a covered entity who deals in processing data for and from other covered entities. I don't think 23andme fits any of the bins. They're just a non-healthcare-related company that ends up with data that would otherwise have only been available to healthcare providers (and the other covered entities they deal with).
The CDC 6600 (1963) had 60-bit words and both 15-bit and 30-bit instructions, with the restriction that 30-bit instructions couldn't straddle a word boundary. The COMPASS assembler would sometimes have to insert a 15-bit no-op instruction to "force upper". Careful optimizing programmers and compilers would try to minimize "forcing upper" to avoid wasting precious space in the 7-word instruction "stack".

So it's been done, and is not a big deal.
Looking for some advice here. I’d be interested to develop simple GUI’s at work. I don’t have much experience of that. I have a license for VS2015 to maintain legacy VB and C++ but I think an upgrade could be arranged. I’m comfortable doing web dev but the browser remains limiting. In my situation, would learning native gui development be worthwhile or is it much easier to stick to websites and/or Electron?
I am looking forward to a mix of both - I am hoping to add a concept called "operator" which would be a go-plugin [1], just like terraform providers, but build backends. So, someone would be able to, say, write a Slack plugin (in Go, or anything over RPC) which sends a message once a build is complete - like Jenkins/GitHub actions, or just scripts that we can reuse like GitLab CI through `modules`.

Perhaps a new registry where we can push custom modules and providers (operators in this case), I'm curious to know about if we have any existing implementations we could reuse for the registry.

Public transit. We like to sensationalize every small problem on American buses and trains but they're also a lot safer than cars. Many countries have implemented transit systems around the world and while the US has been designed around the car shortsightedly for decades, transit is a well-understood mode with well-understood safety considerations.

"hurr durr lets ban cars now". PLEASE.

Unlike social media, to drive a car you need a license, you need insurance, and if you run over a kid you most likely will go to prison. Or maybe you weren't driving your car, but it was unsecured, or had a mechanical malfunction. You are still responsible and you will in one way or another have to pay.

But, you can create ads on social media targeting minors with toxic messaging, and nobody bats a damn eye.

It's about time that online commercial endeavors, like ad networks, get reigned in and have rules applied to them, same as for other activities.

You cannot say "we emit more CO2 every year, though the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere increases linearly, that's weird", and then when someone tells you it's not increasing linearly, say "oh but when I quickly look at that one graph there, to me it looks like a line, so that proves that it is a line".

Previous Windows Mobile kernels had their source available for download on the web. Although not MIT licensed or anything, they were radically open for the Microsoft of the time (early 2000s!)

I believe Windows CE 7 also had its source available.

FWIW CE7 was an amazing operating system that had a minimal OS image of around 8MB on disk. (Numbers are from memory, might be horribly wrong, it was a long time ago that I worked on it.)

It was also incredibly power, CPU, and memory efficient. Windows Phones could run at a rock solid 60FPS with 1/2 the RAM of an Android phone that was dropping frames all the time.

The entire CE operating system is an example of a huge "could have been". Microsoft really never knew what to do with it, and the Windows org obviously wanted it dead, and they eventually got their way. Of course that involved stopping all Windows Phone development for years while they rewrote all APIs, lost functionality, and lost customer trust, in the transition from WP7 to WP8. WP8 eventually became a good OS, but moving to the Windows kernel means the resource usage advantage was lost, and of course app developers got fed up when a new OS came out that had less API features than the previous version.
To have the city planning work correctly you kind of need participation from the cars. I.e. if the traffic light infra structure knew the destination of every car it could do things more globally optimal.

So in that sense, driverless cars will actually help because of kind of nuanced reason. My guess is that there will only be a small number of driverless car companies (tesla, waymo, cruise, apple, etc) and it'll be much easier to add regulations that those companies need to send their destination data in realtime to the traffic light infra. I think that would basically be a non-starter for peoples personal cars.

There are plenty of anecdotes of AVs behaving terribly, but anecdotes are beside the point. Normally when a company wants to introduce a dangerous new product on the market the burden of proof is on them to prove that it's safe enough. For various reasons tech companies have gotten to do this in reverse by testing on the public to find out how safe they are.

If [random grad student] was posting insightful findings from their research, they weren't eligible for a check mark because they lacked the requisite notability/fame.
If you've seen your wife and female friends scroll Instagram then you know you were inaccurately describing the scenario as trying to ban "classically beautiful" women. The problem is you think it doesn't change anything, maybe because you're ignorant that Instagram knows they are measurably worsening, on a mass scale, the self esteem and body image of young girls. Instagram has the data on all these girls and knows they have a causative relationship with negative body image.

If the bus had dynamic routing, so it could show up where I am when I’m ready, and take me where I want to go, I’d be a huge fan. I don’t mean this ironically! I think dynamically dispatched, self-driving buses and vans will eventually save public transit. They’ll enable a much higher quality of service than current bus systems. Which drive around mostly-empty stopping every few blocks so it takes forever to get anywhere.

I always felt like Microsoft was in a hard place when it came to Windows Phone.

If they tried to market it as a third party alternative to Android, why would manufactures give up an OS they can customize and not have to pay to license (Do you have to pay of the play store?).

Locking down Windows Mobile in the iPhone way is counter to how Microsoft runs Windows right now and would be a major uphill battle. The iPhone kinda lucked out being able to pull this off due to when it came out I think.

All of this leads to them needing a healthy enough install base to get developers to make apps.

Personally I don't think they gave up too soon, I think they were fighting an uphill battle that they were likely never going to Win. It didn't really matter how many good ideas they had when they were up against 2 very entrenched platforms.

The problem was, they were too late.

It's pure fantasy to think public transit can replace all/most car trips in American cities, even in most of SF.

It's not just a matter of "fix service", it's you need to completely rebuild the city with 5-10x the population density.

I don't want imagination, I want real numbers! Several groups must have them, but so far nobody is talking, except those who have reason to conceal the truth. (Average drivers includes those driving drunk, which isn't a useful compare for someone who doesn't do that)

It is not hard to imagine that self driving cars are normally better except for some situation. If we can know those situations we can also talk about hybrid where we don't allow humans to drive where they are bad, and don't allow cars to drive where they are bad. However someone with real numbers needs to talk.

Though they may look similar, overlapped in developement, shared key staff and infrastructural pieces, Maniac Mansion and Habitat had very different renderers and user interfaces.

MM used sprites for animating characters (severely limiting the number in a location at once) and it used characterset remapping for scrolling backgrounds and magic slipping maps to provide a sense of depth.

Habitat was a 2.5d renderer where every forground object was seperately rendered each frame and every background object was rendered each state-change. Any objects could be in front/behind any other objects at any time. Sprites in Habitat were used only for UI elements: The speach-bubble "quip" and the proto-pie-menu/cursor for commands.
> There are ratings for movies and games, we can use them.

much of social media is unrated, and no organization is going to rate every tiktok before releasing it to the wild. Even rated Video Games with online (even as family friendly as Nintendo) have the same "online interactions are not rated", because you cannot predict what activity will happen between two people in real time.

>At the age of 18.

TV and movie ratings have multiple age gates. 6+, 10+, and 17+ are the most common (and there are all kinds of 12/13/14/16+ ratings). This is exactly why "for kids" is such a asinine binary to base things on. the government doesn't define any age gates, but pretty much every single piece of media that rates content recognizes that a 5 year old is different from a 16 year old.
