Hardly. Good luck running non-supported OS’s on iOS devices. So all of the old iphones and ipads are out.

Even on Android only a tiny statistically irrelevant proportion would both with this.
I have seen a gruesome hamas video of them hacking at a Nepali worker's neck with a hoe. It was publicly available in reddit. There were burnt remains of victims at different sites, and have seen media reporting them with graphic videos. It is interesting how hamas supporters downplay the horrors of the October 7 attack and try to change the narrative.
> laid off employees who worked on ... the Pixel phone.

That sounds weird to me. Pixel phones has grown very fast in the last years and I don't se how it can be seen as anything but a great success.
Now that seems more likely for better or worse :)
And I am not disagreeing with any of it, your phrasing is just very aggressive which made me wonder.

As an outside observer it is classic "over the top" Americanism.

You like a large vehicle, we will make comically large vehicles!

You like hops in your beer? We will increase hop usage by 1000%!

New Release of GWT 2.11.0
The new release of GWT 2.11.0.

This version includes tested support for running on Java 21. It's worth noting that this release marks a significant milestone, as it is expected to be the last minor release for Java 8.

For Java enthusiasts seeking an alternative to JavaScript or TypeScript in web browser development, the GWT transpiler, which converts Java to JavaScript, is the ideal choice.

Just Java and no JavaScript or TypeScript.

To gain insights into the synergy between GWT Boot and Spring Boot, refer to this article.

Apple put out quite a few good shows, For All Mankind, Severance, Invasion, even the soap opera-y The Morning Show is quite entertaining, Foundation is decent if you ignore that is not Asimov's story, it's its own thing.

They've acquired HBO's prestige from the past to me, meaning if they release something I will at least check it out because the chances of it being at least decent entertainment is quite high.

HBO still lingers with some quality shows but it's far away from their 90s-2000s days (The Wire, True Detective, Band of Brothers, etc.).
I disagree. These special APIs will not have the breadth of capabilities that the human UI does, so AIs will use the human UIs out of necessity. But I think in the long term we will eventually see a simplification of UIs. As it becomes less common for humans to actually use them, they will no longer need fancy animations or dark mode or client-side validation or pretty styling. In the extreme, a return to plain HTML forms that a human can use in a pinch but are mostly used by AI agents. At that point I guess you're blurring the lines between UI and API.

Similarly, Meta deactivated support for NFT profile pics on Instagram and Facebook in March.
Twitter officially introduced NFT profile images with a verification system on January 20, 2022.
Social media behemoth X (Twitter) has disabled support for NFTs on its premium membership section. Earlier, according to the support page, Premium subscribers have the option to create and personalize their profile pictures so that they may display the NFTs they possess in a hexadecimal profile photo.

After the user established a temporary link to their cryptocurrency wallet, they were able to put an NFT as their profile image. Once done, the digital asset will appear in a unique hexagonal form, indicating that it is owned by the user.
Agree, and especially if it's from a dubious source. Piping it directly from curl to bash makes that near impossible if you run it multiple times.

Even suggesting that for something like this in the readme is a red flag to me.

It's probably just a bad habit on the part of the author, but it may very well be intended to promote such unsafe practices with the intent to at least have the option to exploit it at some point later.

Of course depends on ones mindset and scope for the game. If you made one or two very simple games "back in the day" and just want to repeat the experience, using libraries can be a smaller hurdle than to grok a game engine.

But if you want 3D objects or game networking etc etc, a game engine will probably be the right thing.

If we're going deaths by distance travelled: in 2016 (the latest year in the study linked below) the US had 7.3 deaths per billion vehicle-kilometres, while Germany had only 4.2.

Interestingly, the same report shows a reduction of 12.1% in total road deaths between 2010 and 2016, while the US had an increase of 13.5% over the same period.

I'm scared to even list the US's increase pedestrian deaths caused by drivers. No regard for human life at all.

So you think Rust and Go are more frequently used than Java for new code? Do you have something to support you claim?

Looking at TIOBE and PYPL, it comes that for backend Java and .NET are huge, followed by .Node.js, followed by Python and then PHP.
What market?

Google stock is up 56% YoY. Fifty six percent.

What do you think it should be? 2000%?

It's a huge mature company. 56% in a year is unheard of.
One difference I have noticed is that it used to be when I said "five minute timer" it would maybe ten percent of the time hear "five minutes timer" and decide it should search youtube for matching videos. Nowadays, it seems to treat "five minutes timer" and "five minute timer" as equal, but I get more silent misses where it ignores everything I said.

On the other hand, I gave up some kinds of requests. For instance, I used to try "start directions home" when I was driving and it would say "here's a route I found, do you want to start (or some such)" and there would be no way to actually start the directions home without breaking the very expensive law against touching your phone while driving. Does that work today? I don't know, because I've mostly been driving with Android Auto in the last few years and my wife's been in the car on the rare occasion I haven't. But it seems like the Assistant team could straightforwardly improve it.
Say in my web app I can save "projects" and I have 200 projects in total.
Because of DOM performance the devs implemented pagination say 40 items at max so I have 5 pages of projects. We all know the issues with pagination.

If all the projects are loaded I can :

1 scroll all of them , exactly like I scroll a document or how I scroll in my File Manager or Image Viewer

2 I can do Instant Filter and Search, no backend requests, don't you hate when say you open a YouTube account video list and you just can't use the browser Find function because the content is not in the page

One example is YouTube in a specific account Videos section , you are forced to scroll and wait, scroll and wait , scroll and wait , they can try and hack this to be smoother but this could be instant since the JSON for all the videos could be returned at once, it is just text and is more efficient then returning it in chunks , then like in competent GUI toolkits you have a big grid with all the results and the toolkit/framework Grid does the work for you in making sure that everything is rendered efficiently and smooth.

I would prefer at least an option in this apps to offer the customer a setting to decide the Page size , maybe I want a slower initial load but have everything loaded in one screen , imagine paginated File Manager
Arguably we’re already at that point.
OP edited their post after this reply and removed the word ‘coincide’. It’s why multiple replies have it.

You might have enjoyed the reaction from the normies at a party recently when they figured out that my family doesn't have any voice control anything in our house and they started grilling my (comically, for the conversation, nontechnical) wife as to why.

After much very polite dancing around the politics of "listen, it's just a personal choice and nobody here is judging anyone else, I just don't want my children playing arbitrary stupid music and buying things on my credit card", she finally capitulated and pointed out that "well it's listening, isn't it? my husband" (I was actively playing with children at the time), "would have better details, but if it's listening, that means it's recording and sending those recordings to Amazon or Google or whomever".

At which point the lady of the house got up and turned her Alexa off. I attempted to not die laughing in the corner with the children.

If your barometer for what SWEs are making is Blind or something, let's just say you're way off. Based on salary sites and such that I've seen that are specifically calibrated to Bay Area pay scales, most of the people bragging about their TC on Blind are either lying, overinflating pre-IPO equity, or got lucky with some real equity.
It doesn't deserve to be on it.

As a European, I really don't care. My US colleagues are all buying houses and going on expensive ski trips while I can't even afford a used car. I am a much better software engineer than they'll ever be and yet I'm stuck in this hellhole and will never be able to afford my own home. Time for the market to cool down a bit.

Right.. yet it’s 2024 as far as I’m aware and inflation is tracked on a rolling 12 month basis.

If it was only 10% during those 3 years, it’s approximately 3.2% per year which is close enough (of course the official inflation was actually much higher than your’e implying..)

Yes, all NeoGeo games have the size printed on the box, but I guess most people have never seen a physical NeoGeo cartridge.

I think it was also quite common for Master System games, but not so much for other consoles.
Often when I read articles/books with this sort of advice I get halfway and think to myself "Hmmm... I really should write my own book about programming stuff".

I'm sure many other senior programmers have similar thoughts.
But how often did that computer voice-acted by her really do significantly more than "set timer to thirty minutes"? Outside of some broken plots on the original series ("we have insufficient data to know the truth, let's ask the computer who will tell us anyways!"), it really was mostly mundane voice assistant stuff.

(I'm deliberately excluding the "ten words to 'author' a holodeck scene" part, that had always been stretching my imagination a little too far, more "this can't work!" than space travel and transporter beams. Then stable diffusion happened)
Luckily I don't have to deal with FactoryFactories either.

All sound money has been proof of work since the start of time. It is fundamental to a lasting and fair monetary system. We currently have a fiat system where the population have to work for it, while the elite can effortlessly print it, becoming ever more unjustly powerful as a result. They are looting the world.

Even today, gold miners are working to dig up their proof of work which they can sell into the market. If the work they did was worth more than the gold they found, they'd stop. And if was worth less, more miners would mine, increasing the supply and devaluing the gold.

The only difference with bitcoin is that the work is abstracted. It's simply anchoring the creation of a digital token to work in the physical domain. At the same time, the work performed is protecting the network from attack - it's what makes the blockchain immutable. The work is not wasted - it is being stored as "walls" on top of each block. The further down the block chain you go the more walls of protection you would have to break. It's breathtakingly beautiful.
Java is often faster than Rust on typical single-threaded code. Rust is faster when you want to leverage features like SIMD.

And when it comes to concurrency Rust is the worst language I've ever used by far. The type checker makes dealing with objects between threads extremely painful. With the JVM it's all just handed for you.

Rust is great when you want a tiny binary with minimal memory consumption.

This is out-of-touch on so many levels. What about people born in ten years? What about people born in ten years in developing countries? The only thing crypto“currencies” have done is increase the wealth disparity and greed.

Got to love their product names, as a Norwegian.

Meanwhile I have 2x AX90s in my place. Love them! Got the 2nd when I realised the special it was on was not too far from a single filter change, so it'll be fun when they're both up for refresh.

I'm addition to appreciating clean indoor air, I'm kind of preparing for the next bushfire in Melbourne - can still remember the last one, which was very very bad. I think it might happen next year, and be even worse than last time given current fuel build up. I might check out the IKEA ones to keep the AX90 filters fresh, if the IKEA filters are much cheaper to replace / run on an everyday basis.

(The Samsung units have an amazing ability to go from a very silent idle to a really bloody high CFM, on auto - currently mainly experienced when cooking).

Edit: They are stupidly cheap, found the Australian prices! Will definitely pick up a few in due time. https://www.ikea.com/au/en/cat/air-purifiers-filters-49081/

Whatever it takes to survive, not to make a few bucks more. There's no reason to chase that money once you are past a certain point. The truth is lambos aren't that practical anyways.
I didn't address that point because it is conceptually and factually incorrect. But I will breakdown why for your benefit:

> The reason that bitcoin's energy usage is a philosophical nightmare is because it's a system where energy consumption is the product.

False. The "Product" is a permissionless global peer to peer financial network using a (relatively) non-depreciating commodity. Energy consumption is a side-effect of providing this product/service. I'm sure if you thought about it for a bit you would have to agree here. Noone is mining bitcoin for the sake of it, they are mining it for profit and the only reason bitcoin has value is other attributes of the network/commodity itself. So not a good start from OP.

> As opposed to industries which are "merely" energy-intensive, let's take aluminum refining for example, spending more energy to refine aluminum does not create more demand for aluminum, but spending more energy on bitcoin increases the price of bitcoin, which induces more demand, which increases the price, which incentivizes mining, which costs more energy, and so on in a vicious cycle.

This is factually incorrect and easy to see why. Here is a link to an overlapping chart showing the hashrate for bitcoin against the market cap (https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/hashrate-marketcap-btc....). You'll notice the lack of connection between the market cap (overall price) and the hashing rate. This is an empirical fact based on the data we have so op is wrong once again.

It is true that price increases do incentivise more mining but the price increases aren't DRIVEN by increases in the mining. Otherwise it would be possible for anyone anywhere to spin up bitcoin farms and make guaranteed profit because the price would rise to a level commensurate with the energy expended. It is the other values of the network (peer-to-peer permissionless decentralised finance with an eventually depreciating commodity) that drive the price. Those are being priced by the market currently and more and more people are deciding to store wealth in the Bitcoin network as opposed to the Fiat network or other assets like property/gold/etc because they feel it gives a better combination of:

1. Store of value (or possibility for profit)

2. Functionality

Bitcoin mining is very often not profitable if you don't have cheap energy or do it collectively which is why it is moves around so much to find cheap energy sources (often using the cheapest forms of energy available which is burn off/extra gen that has no otherwise in grid) and miners pool to take a portion of the gains from mining the next block and getting the bitcoin that come with it.

OP's view of Bitcoin and proof of work is a very slanted one at best, completely factually inaccurate at worst.

See "Use of null-restricted types" which is part of Project Valhalla[0], the proposed syntax is the opposite of Kotlin, where everything is non-null by default but can be made nullable by adding a "?", eg "val s: String? = null".

The Java version instead looks like this, where you add an exclamation mark to mark it as non-nullable:

class Cursor {
private Point! position;
}
