They're not so common anymore, largely in part due to focused attention on that attack surface and continual software updates (!) via the playstore - google decoupled the webview rendering libraries from the os. Malware such as SpyNote/CypherRat is commonly a sideload attack, but occasionally webview rces have been used to deliver it and others.

But as mentioned above, webview malware is rare today, largely in part due to fast patching and updates!
Been enjoying this a lot since it's release. Getting towards the end of the game ~80% of the way through and appreciating a bit of a difficulty spike as I had found that the game was a bit on the easier side for most of it.

Another example from Turkmenistan. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/may/09/mind-boggling-...

> Together, the two fields released emissions equivalent to 366m tonnes of CO2, more than the UK’s annual emissions, which are the 17th-biggest in the world.

Turkmenistan has 1/10th the population of the UK and 1/6th the GDP per capita.
It’s quite difficult to get permission to fly a drone over an active LAX (to say nothing of Times Square or London).

The fact that they got to do this (and show it off via screensaver) is one of my favorite “we have unlimited money and power” Apple flexes.

The amount of time, money, and planning to produce these is staggering. They’re slow motion, probably shot in 8K, and are drone shots with expensive cinema lenses. There is probably a team of 1-3 people dedicated simply to the paperwork and approvals and flight planning, not counting cinematography/DP and postproduction.

> I'm seeing single-family houses going for $310k that should be going for maybe 2/3rds of that on a good day.

I've been hearing a lot of "should be" talk like that recently - like folks complaining that people are paying $50k for a normal SUV that "should be" $30k or whatever.

What are we basing "should be" on? Some affordability metric? Our gut feeling about what a comparable thing cost a few years ago?

But was Rust on the forefront of industry adoption in 2014? It seems it wasn't even officially released until 2015 according to Wikipedia and the only known project that I'm aware of that was using Rust back then was Mozilla's Servo which is (semi?) dead. Similar languages back then that could have replaced Rust and had similar potential were Nim and D and both of them failed to get a significant industry adoption

How about this comment from Senate Majority leader Schumer?

This argument of "It's ok to meddle as long as you do not compel." is atrocious. People, especially those in high positions in social media companies, indeed fear government capability from many angles.

Regardless of the permission to meddle but not compel, why is the government paying for agents to act as moderators in the first place? Isn't there more important crime to allocate resources to?

Why am I not surprised? This is why we need more city council members who rent. Renter issues are completely invisible to those holding political power.
Mortgage rates mostly track the 10y yield, not the federal funds rate. As I understand it, avg US mortgage duration is 9-10y which is why mortgage rates track the US10Y yield.

In my opinion this course https://tc.gts3.org/cs3210/2020/spring/lab.html, is the best OS course ever, perhaps even the best computer science course ever. Thru the labs you build a bare metal OS for raspberry pi using Rust. I went thru it on my own and was able to complete most of it. Running your OS on real hardware is way more satisfying than doing it on emulator.
LLMs will be good replacements for a portion of customer service queries (eg where’s my order, help me fix this common computer issue etc), and will probably be a bad replacement for other queries (eg complaint handling), but it doesn’t have to fix all for it to transform the sector and be a killer app.

Video game dialogue remains to be seen, but I already find ChatGPT based text adventures super fun! So I suspect there will be demand for both handcrafted static stories and AI dynamically-generated stories (ie they can be different things, one doesn’t have to replace the other, just like email didn’t immediately replace the post service).

That's fair. My oversimplified narrative elides that a lot of changes have occurred over the decades. Iran remains the head of the anti-Israel opposition because a lot of the Sunni Arab states have diminished over time and sought economic ties if not outright diplomatic ties with Israel. And Iraq falling into the Iranian sphere of influence, as you allude to, only meant that Iran's star has risen.

> Ever-increasing housing prices is bad for people who own homes

On the contrary, ever-increasing housing prices have allowed generations of home-owners to reap immense amounts of tax-free income by borrowing against their real estate. For large parts of the population, having a job is not the way they make a living. Borrowing money is how they make a living, having a job and even a career is just the ticket they need to be able to borrow as much money as possible. In many countries the majority of the population make a living by borrowing, while only a few by working.

The only people who actually make a living by working are the idiots, and that's why they remain broke their entire lives and have nothing to give their children after they pass away. Usually they don't even have children.

This system works as long as there's more money to borrow to keep real estate value going up and more idiots born to work for a living. And when the jig is over, all debts of the real estate owners will be forgiven, while the rest will be sent off to die in some war.

Court precedents aren't particularly reliable.
I'm afraid I don't follow that. House-sellers are generally also house-buyers. They move out of one place into another. It's neutral with respect to supply.

If there's a glut of people owning houses but not living in them and not successfully renting them, then that does reduce supply, but they're also suffering opportunity cost. If they're willing to throw away money like that I don't think increasing supply would help -- they'd just buy up the new houses as well.
the parent merely explained why planting trees alone is not enough, which implies that other solutions are needed as well.
The Commission President has a de facto (not de jure) veto power over who the member states nominate so in reality the Commission is selected by its President.

The President is in theory selected by the Council (leaders of the member states), but in practice the whole process is secret so nobody knows how it happens. Certainly the Commission often ends up with extremely dubious Presidents where nobody can explain on what merits they gained that position.

And then the selection of both President and Commissioners is supposed to be ratified by the Parliament but last time they were given a vote with a single option on it. You could either support vdL or abstain. And it's not a real Parliament anyway so nobody with any political ambition actually runs for it, it's a joke chamber made up of yes-men and people who think their countries should leave the EU entirely. Even Juncker didn't take it seriously.

So nothing about the Commission relies on elections.
Long-term success numbers on 10-year weight loss are abysmal. Everyone gains it back.

Yes I agree.

I would say health check endpoints are still very useful, and complement what you are offering here. When something is down and there is a panic (but trying to stay calm) having a barrage of checks to play the "Sherlock Holmes" game is useful.

If for example your service says "Mongo is up" but I also see "Mongo Healthcheck is down" it is probably a configuration (connection string) issue or maybe a network issue. Without your check elimination would take longer.
I'm guessing that is the case. Condos next door that cost $210k before covid now in the exact same spot three years alter asking for $630k is probably making people ask questions about the market.
But see, the thing about flipped houses is that the people who own them don't actually want them. They want to sell them. For as much as they can get, sure, but also to sell them in a timely fashion.

So I don't see flippers as being the big deterrent to prices falling. If they haven't caved yet, they will in a few months.

> If you were to bring down the value of every single-family home in the US, that means accepting about 2/3rds the value of each of these mortgages, along with all of the securitized derivatives of them. That's a 2007-2009-level crash, which the banks just won't tolerate.

I'm not young, but considerably less experienced and more of a data scientist, so YMMV.

I'm signed up to the Copilot Chat preview so there are two parts to this answer: autocomplete and chat.

Autocomplete is great for things like boilerplate, docstrings, and annoying tip-of-tongue syntax.

It's a lot less helpful when working on something more creative or difficult, and that's when it needs to be off. I find it's an absolute no-go for complex data analysis, for example.

The Chat function is just GPT in IDE, so use is optional at all times.

As a concrete example, I was doing a Django project recently. I've done a few in the past, but I'm far from being an expert.

Things like the models.py were a breeze with the autocomplete on, but fell apart rapidly when writing a fiddly feature.

I used the chat whenever I ran across issues for which I wasn't finding quick answers on SO. This generally worked well, particularly as you can ask as many follow up questions as you like.

I also found chat good in other areas where I'm out of my comfort zone. Like throwing some vanilla HTML at it and asking for some CSS to layout and format in a particular way.

Long and short is it enabled a fair-to-middling dev to rapidly knock-up and document something in a relatively unfamiliar framework that was useful to his org.

In your case, you might find you have more truck with it when exploring something new or less familiar.
Name another language where random() is deterministic. Ask yourself why that is.

As to bugs. Let's start with the famous one:

http://alife.co.uk/nonrandom/

This is due to boneheaded mistakes in Sun's choice of constants for its LCG and errors in its bit-handling. These are massive mistakes, which it can no longer fix.

Next, there's an outstanding bug in nextBytes(), which generates ints and then cuts them into bytes (a big no-no for this particular LCG).

Some unfortunate omissions: nextChar(), nextShort(), nextByte() are missing, and there is no save-state procedure. There is no nextDouble() method that is inclusive for one or exclusive for zero.

There was a notorious bug in nextGaussian() which would take the log of 0 and then divide it by 0, but that has long been fixed. :-) [And some other bugs which were fixed early on despite Sun's claim that it couldn't fix bugs due to its stupid nondeterminism promise. For an RNG!]

The other nice thing about Apple TVs is that their hardware isn’t so terribly underpowered compared to other streaming boxes, which is why my Apple TV 4K first gen from 2017 is still snappy running current tvOS, as well as why it can play back media encoded in formats that aren’t hardware accelerated without hiccups.

So yes, it cost me more than a competing box would’ve in 2017, but it’s given me smooth problem free operation the entire time and there’s no sign of that changing any time soon.
