I honestly don't think IO-blocking-UI is such a big issue.

And if you try to solve it using workers you introduce an annoying programming paradigm of async/await and IPC.

Copying data over IPC can be slow, and having to set up IPC to share the data you need to run in a worker is also annoying.

The great thing about the single threaded shared memory model of elisp is that it's a lot easier to code against. And yeah sometimes someone blocks the UI doing synchronous I/O, but that comes at the benefit of making it really easy for people to write addons that do all sorts of things.

A lot of the I/O blocking UI problems could be alleviated by just moving to async I/O primitives without incurring the runtime and developer experience problems of a multi process architecture
Aside from the terrible and inconsistent performance, the bigger problem is the sheer amount of electrical noise introduced into the line which can adversely affect electrical appliances and devices.

Python says those insert operations are atomic. https://docs.python.org/3/faq/library.html#what-kinds-of-glo...

For example, the following operations are all atomic (L, L1, L2
are lists, D, D1, D2 are dicts, x, y are objects, i, j are ints):

L.append(x)
L1.extend(L2)
x = L[i]
x = L.pop()
L1[i:j] = L2
L.sort()
x = y
x.field = y
D[x] = y
D1.update(D2)

Right but many things in china are done better than the US such that an average business person or citizen can live a relatively happy life.

Most people don't exploit the right to protest or the right to speak Ill of their government in a public venue.

The western view of China is not fully correct. You have to take a more neutral view. It is two competing ideals. The US has plenty of deplorable that are on the scale of the "evils" china has done and china has done "good" also to to the same level of not greater than what the US has done.

It is wrong to look at this through the lens of ohh china is just another dictatorship.

It's just about what kind of code you write.

If you write a lot of code that parallelizes over data you will hurt all the time because of the GIL.

If you have worker processes that do something on the CPU, and the results need to be collected and processed further in some other process, you now need to pickle the data to copy it around. That can get really slow.

I understand a lot of python users don't do that kind of thing, but it's a real problem. I'm happy that the python community seems to be slowly beginning to take this seriously after decades of just claiming the GIL isn't a real issue.
While I broadly agree with you at surface level, you are missing a piece of the puzzle.

The issue is that FCC is, correctly, treating broadband as a utility at a level comparable to electricity/sewer/drinkable water. And as such, ensuring that underserved people get access to the service is more important than punishing contractors for failing to deliver it.

I do agree that the discrimination hand-wringing is unnecessary, and a good "Deliver the service to everyone, assholes" should be plenty in theory. But if leaning on those laws is what it takes to get them to comply, then whatever. Results are what matters.
1. The issue is that the government gave away a ton of money without clear goals and deadlines. Private companies aren't an arm of the government that will do it's job for it. Retroactively adding these restrictions seems bad, as you've now changed the terms of the deal. The government got scammed and they should take the loss and do better next time.

2. The result being the same does not mean the goal is the same. I doubt ISPs are rubbing their hands and laughing at the struggle of minorities. It's simply not their job to care about them. See 1.

Further, there is nothing wrong with national ISPs as long as we don't put up road blocks for municipal ISPs.

If you think the current system is too favorable to content creators (i.e. too unfavorable to DMCA complainers), then you should go ahead and make Google pay the full amount. That would get us to a world where you have to prove that you're not violating copyright, or have to put money in escrow or something.

I'd like to go the other way. Current copyright laws are way too imbalanced in favor of copyright holders.

Looking at this in a positive light, maybe Apple is rolling back the clock. As one comment said:

When stuff runs poorly, users won't blame the system: only the programs that run badly. Apple is good at making native apps which they do anyway and they'll run much better than anything in Electron, or even other portable software tech. There will be pressure for other software vendors to up (or reduce) their game.
Before the advent of teh interwebz, railing in Europe had a train-based accommodations hack.

When trying to visit a number of cities in not many more days, you could take an overnight into City X, arriving in the morning, and leave that same night on another overnight to your next city. This had the distinct advantage that you didn't have to waste most of a morning trying to find a room - not in a hostel, not anywhere. You had one day - but the full day - to explore.

The disadvantage was that you might have to deal with currency exchange (pre-Euro!) when making those same-evening sleeper reservations. In particular, Copenhagen was a PITA. Cash only, Danish crowns only, ripoff currency exchange only.

Real estate agents' job is not so much buying or selling houses but getting clients. There are so many agents ready to grab those insane fees that most agents can only manage an occasional transaction.

Then there are a few that are great at marketing themselves and can make truly insane money.
The feeling of entitlement of some developers is sometimes baffling. They have a position of authority in a project, and got that authority based on their demonstrated trustworthiness and ability to deliver useful software. Now they don’t feel like doing that anymore, but instead of resigning their position in the project like a responsible person, they want to use their earned trust to be paid for software development. Congratulations, you’ve come up with a business model. It might work, or it might fail. But it has nothing to with the software project. Open Source is not a business model. It is a development process.
Sales prices (for an arms length sale) are de facto assessments. Every jurisdiction accepts or at least factors them in if you request an assessment to lower your property taxes.

In some jurisdictions where the growth rate is capped (like CA), a 3-6% drop in price will be locked in essentially forever.

This is forcing telecoms to make business decisions with a racialized lens, ie rebuilding systemic racism.

People are objecting to that.

If we want to help (as another commenter put it) “underserved populations that can't get better internet” — we should do that directly, for people of all races.

How does mandating racialized thinking help that problem?

The Soviet Union was a socialist state: that was the word they used to describe themselves. It was ruled by the Communist Party, which has nothing to do with the economic or political system the country followed. The best word to describe China's economic system is Mercantilism.
> Agreed that there are going to be interop issues with Google's RCS implementation, but let's not place all the blame at Google's feet, here.

I have no love for the carriers but to me open would sound like things Google could do unilaterally:

* Android developers can now use the RCS APIs, not just our own app

* Our extensions are released as an open standard waiving any IP litigation except in self-defense

* Our E2EE key server is open to users of other apps and/or supports this federation protocol
What we have that an LLM doesn’t have is a mobile body and other sensory inputs so we can verify knowledge through practice.

Knowledge without a feedback mechanism for verification is prone to veer off course.

Right now the feedback mechanism is based on human reinforcement.

What if we put an LLM in an android’s body and let the machine interact with the world through the same senses that we do?

I hate to say it, but there hasn't been a significant change in browser market share since 2018.

https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share

Chrome continues to have a massive lead over any other browser. The only exception is if we look exclusively at the US mobile market, where Safari has a narrow lead; though I'm sure that's because it's enforced by Apple rather than chosen by users. Worldwide across all devices, Chrome and Chromium based browsers have sat comfortably around 80% market share for the better half of the last decade and there's no sign of that changing.
It only works for sites that don't really require a framework. What bugs me in most examples and "getting started" articles is that they take a trivial, best-implemented thing and present it as if it will be an average experience and/or a common modality. Yes, a card can be implemented with a trivial fallback. Now show a repo of an average site or an app with a decent requirements+development history without waving hands about "classes of web content" and "limited application". We are not time-traveling oracles. If the base platform doesn't work for an average in-the-wild use case, fix it until it works. Make rules for styling tooltips, add strict data model for controls, tables and requests, etc. Meanwhile, turn your js on.

I think it's legal if you're the copyright holder, e.g. Disney putting dead actors in their movies did not need anybody's permission, nor does any derivative work such as videogames as they own the image right to the characters they play.

Sure, Steve wasn’t perfect! Personally, I was really upset that HyperCard was scuttled. I used it on some pretty serious projects in aerospace. I don’t think that Apple had any clue about how popular HyperCard was on internal company projects. Of course, they didn’t build telemetry into it, or they might have known, but then nobody would use it for proprietary projects and data.

AppleScript didn’t put the UI builder in front of the code, nor have a persistent database with no coding or connectors needed. HyperCard was arguably the predecessor of the linked internet, less the ads, since you wrote your own stuff.

Who knows? Without Steve, we might be using MSDOS version 954. (Or Linux)
