I attempted to use Haiku as my daily driver about a year ago. Only four things really put the kibosh on that:

1. Lack of native / built-in support for full-disk encryption

2. Lack of a day-to-day usable web browser

3. Lack of the apps I regularly use on Linux and Windows (or good enough equivalents)

4. Lack of stability on the hardware I was using (Framework 11th Gen)

It looks like at least one of those is no longer an issue, thanks to Falkon. It also looks like there's been a lot of progress on getting Wine working and stable. If overall stability is sufficiently improved, then giving it another try might very well be in the cards, even without FDE.

As a software developer I also salute that law, As italian I always voted against governments who wanted to detax r&d, if its done and funded by governments for the collectivity, then it benefits everyone, but if a private company is going to r&d for the benefits of their shareholders, then they can also pay their fair share of taxes instead of leeching from the collectivity

I always felt, from outside, that anti trumpers just are against everything he does with simplistic explanation, its a good law amazon has enough money to pay their own r&d
Yeah, it's really sad. I feel like Elon Musk is fighting that downward trajectory towards mediocrity but he's punished daily for it so it must be hard to resists. I guess when you get as big as Google you get tangled in economic and governmental obligations. It's a real Letterman-Chappelle situation.
Can confirm, filed some “R&D” hours at a company some years back that did software development but nothing I’d call “R&D”. They straight-up told us it was a requirement for some tax benefit or other. Like they did have us do it only on non-client work, but… it was not really R&D the way anyone means that.

Don't forget one of its best selling points (especially in the US in ~2010): phone numbers as IDs. Everyone has a phone number, and your friends all know yours and you know theirs.

The market seems like it would preclude that. If they're making "another todo app" with nothing novel then the market will reject it, they will have no income, and they never would have been taxed anyways.

The thought of research tax breaks is that the market qualifies them as useful. Useless inventions make no money, and have no income to be taxed anyways.

Yes, but the initial content is signed by the developers key. In fact it's a frequent issue because developers lose, misplace or forget their keys and some manual intervention has to be made (that's where you appreciate a process where humans can talk to each other, something that would be impossible with a store the size of any other commercial store)
Big Tech doesn't just enable fraud, they collect a lot of profit off of it, and it wouldn't even surprise me if they ran a lot of it. They don't even counter bots and spam posts in many cases any more, they stifle creator post views, they also ran several pphony crypto and NFT marketing campaigns themselves which all bilked millions of people, there is little trust left for these tech companies now, especially the social media companies. They literally run fraud havens.

Calibre is a champion of ebook management functionalities, but I have never been satisfied with its experience, nor its developer. It was never designed to be a hosted library accessible over the web, and it's a very poor experience in my opinion.

If there was a solid competitor that was more open, more modern, and designed with the hosted library solution in mind, I would no doubt start using it.

With this one innocuous seeming sentence you are hand waving a way a ton of complexity. If you try to implement it you will at least have some respect for toolkit authors.

Yes one that is lower level and
therefore is fundamentally harder to deal with to get all the things people take for granted in a full blown mature state based GUI toolkit.

You can implement a retained GUI toolkit with IMGUI. Or you can use something already done.

IMGUI eschews this complexity as part of its purpose but it comes with trade offs that limit its use cases.

FWIW, this works for me with Python 3.12 from Homebrew, but not Python 3.12 from python.org. _sqlite3.cpython-312-darwin.so in Homebrew's Python appears to dynamically link /opt/homebrew/opt/sqlite/lib/libsqlite3.0.dylib, but the version in python.org's Python statically links the sqlite3 library.

EDIT: Python 3.9.6 from Xcode doesn't work either. It has _sqlite3.cpython-39-darwin.so which dynamically links /usr/lib/libsqlite3.dylib, but that dylib doesn't exist on my system, and I don't know enough about macOS internals to tell where it's coming from. The _sqlite3 so doesn't seem big enough to have it statically linked.

EDIT2: Xcode's Python works when launching via the real path instead of using the /usr/bin/python3 alias, I assume because /usr/bin is SIP-protected or something.
Interesting! This was long before the Internet, so all I had to go on was books I checked out from the library about how to build stuff. They presented the clutch as a basic component.

The other topic I repeatedly checked books out on was movie special effects. Of course I wanted to make "laser beams" in my Super-8 movies. This, not surprisingly, was even less practical than a go-kart because it required an optical printer. Books offered the idea of drawing on or scratching the film as an alternative, but even as a kid I rejected that as utterly impractical and lame on a tiny 8mm frame.

I did make a bunch of movies, and do and build cool stuff as a kid. I wonder how much more I would have accomplished with access to all the info and 3-D printers and video capability kids have today. Would I do more because of all that, or less because of the massive distraction of the media now?

Gaza is not an autonomous region, but an occupied territory. This is not a war like the Russian invasion into Ukraine but a military operation which the Israel Army is conducting inside territory it controls. This was made abundantly clear at the public hearings in the Hague last Thursday.

The IDF does not have any claims to self defense nor acts of war when it is fighting against Hamas. So, yes, you can indeed put all the blame on the suffering of civilians on Israel, because they controlled this territory before, during, and after oct. 7.

The conduct of the Israel army should not be compared to an army that is fighting a war, like the Russian or the Ukrainian armies. Rather it should be compared to armies which act to maintain an occupation, like that of the British army in Northern Ireland during the Troubles.

Well, as she notes in the keynote.
"Obviously the advice I give is not as applicable if you decide to use something like Unity or Unreal, which if you do and that’s great and you’re happy, then I’m not trying to convince you to leave that. Obviously if you use one of those, Rust is probably out of the question except for very very peripheral things, but honestly I still think eventually Rust WILL find its way into these sorts commercial mainstream game engine products, it’s just a matter of time. For the moment though, the most likely people to use Rust and find this talk useful are other start-from-scratch indie types, and maybe a few AAA studios that make a lot of their own technology in house (Ready at Dawn!, EA SEED!). "

And yeah, there's a fair # of indie games that have already been written in rust.
But if you use the criteria of "successful" (high sales?) that excludes the vast majority of indie games. So getting one of those to a high level of visibility may take a while.

Random reddit thread claims https://store.steampowered.com/app/808160/UniverCity/ was written in rust. But, yeah, there's the other problem, I doubt anyone is digging around in function signatures on a systematic basis to identify these.

The veloren folks have been on HN frontpage a few times and attribute some of the successes of their engine to rust.

Rarely though, it does, but it does require a woman to be... the type to want to stay in that type of relationship, because it can be a turn-off for many women.

There's a certain socially-conservative but possibly valid (when it comes to long-term familial integrity) train of thought that goes like this: Husband adores wife more than kids. Wife adores kids more than husband. Kids take adoration for granted until they experience loss, and no one really adores the husband... and somehow this may be a more stable arrangement than we give it credit for. The general sense is that men are happiest in families where they retain a romantic fascination with their wives (even over the love for their kids), and that this is becoming a rarer and rarer thing leading to more marital-security erosion.
But the "AI" of today can just copy and style, can make art faster than people.

I think that while we can say, art is art, people just like doing art, which I think is true for some people, there was also a major inventive to make good music in the 60s and 70s which will no longer be there if a machine can write an album in 20 seconds and steal your style almost instantaneously.

Maybe people will be using AI to make unimaginably good art and prosper from that, which I hope so but as it stands now, it's a very different situation to what happened in the past.

I thought Self was supposed to be harder to optimise due to using prototypes, accessor methods rather than distinguishing instance variable access, and generally fewer other tricks. Frankly I don't know what the problem is here, but if it was a language issue, then Self should be slower than Smalltalk - you are suggesting that it'd be the other way around, and I don't see why that'd be the case.

Mario Wolczko implemented Smalltalk in Self, yielding a faster Smalltalk than the commercial offerings <http://www.merlintec.com/download/mario.pdf>. The are-we-fast-yet repo has benchmarks for SOMns (SOM modified to run Newspeak, using Truffle for compilation) which outperforms Node <https://github.com/smarr/are-we-fast-yet/blob/master/docs/pe...>.

> Otherwise it's very difficult because a block is just an object and executing it is just a method call on this object via dynamic dispatch; it's not trivial to find out what to inline

We have an object which we know everything about, because we construct it in the method. We know it's a block, and we know what #value will do, which seems like a pretty strong signal to inline. Even without knowing what blocks are, inlining #ifTrue:, #whileTrue: and such is a good move as those methods are very small.
