> most apps would save money if the developers were self-distributing them instead of using the App Store

There must be a reason why almost all games are still published on Steam despite the 30% though. The increased customer reach almost always outweighs the additional revenue (and this also applies to major companies like EA, Ubisoft etc. who have tried building their own storefronts).
That would be zone transfer and its generally not allowed by DNS servers. And there couldn't be a single DNS server to query from, instead you would need to recursively query all the DNS servers which also is not exactly practical.

The teleoperated thing was flagged by Rodney Brooks years ago as both a scary risk, but also a driver for autonomous robotics. The threat is that this is a mechanism to partition poor people from richer people comprehensively - they will not be permitted to share the same space but instead will operate proxy bodies that can be confiscated at any time. The poor will live 100's of KM from the rich and will be forced to accept harsh social conditions, and the rich will not have to confront the reality of the poor's humanity.

This is a very very bad vision of the future.

Given that automated trading systems are in fierce competition between each other, and thus have a never-ending thirst for tiny performance advantages, maybe the JVM with its emphasis on abstract high-level language constructs and runtime safety isn't the best platform and shouldn't bend itself into unnatural contortions to satisfy this niche?

We've got Rust now, offering both low-level control and safety. No need to take the SUV on the racing track, it is not at home there.

You’re forced to have and use one, but in return you get free transactions, strong identity and various other perks. It _is_ a monopoly, but the monopoly is the government so everyone has a say on how its run and audited.

What technical and scientific progress at unreal rates? The amount of information and data increased, but a lot of other things are highly incremental at best. If the progress is so great, why hasn't productivity increased a lot or life expectancy? Parallel universe indeed.

Yeah but technically nobody is forcing anyone to use Steam. Yet pretty much all the games are published there and the market has decided that the 30% fee is "fair" (AFAIK they can get away charging even more than Apple on average because there is no 15% tier?)

Mastodon picked up some new and very stable communities, but it’s still quite small. I can’t imagine Mastodon dying now, like I could imagine for Bluesky (or even Threads) for example, some of the userbase is very committed to it.

If you’re plugged into one or two of those communities Mastodon will absolutely replace Twitter for you. If your community isn’t strongly represented, it can feel dead. You need to follow more people on Mastodon than you would elsewhere to get a good experience, and discovering those people can be hard.

> Based on the data from over 14,000 users who migrated to these platforms within the first eight weeks after the launch of Threads

That's a very strange time period to focus on. Musk acquired Twitter in October 2022, and that's when I left. Threads didn't launch until July 2023.
For me personally, I'd try and be more outgoing when in university. As the saying goes, it's who you know that matters in life, not what you know. And by focusing almost entirely on the academic side and solo hobbies and not getting to know anyone, I probably missed out on both friendships and career opportunities.

Other things I wish I'd done differently were:

- Getting into video creating and livestreams early on rather than writing. By the time I was posting online, the blogging world was on the way out and things like YouTube were taking off. If I'd taken it more seriously early on, I probably could have had a huge channel by now.

-Living independently in university. It seems like that's probably the best time to learn that stuff, since everyone else is in the same boat and people understand that students aren't exactly the best at healthy living.

I've tried many of them and I keep turning to kdenlive, both on linux (my main driver) and windows. I've been using it for years, although occasionally. From my perspective it's the best FOSS NLE out there both in terms of features and stability. For the occasional user it gets the job done. Kdenlive used to crash a lot years ago but I'm not having any issue at all in the last couple of years (while Clipchamp, promoted by MS, crashes all the time).

>Not doing enough is not an excuse for not doing anything at all, though.

That doesn't answer my question on why the EU turns a blind eye on other industries but suddenly focuses on those with local competition. Doing a good thing in one place doesn't suddenly absolve you of thousands of other poor things you did or not did.

Is breathing in fossil fuel emissions less dangerous? How many Europeans have been killed so far by non-compliant EV batteries?

Anecdotally, a significant chunk of my Twitter follows set up shop on Bluesky as a contingency but few of them are actually active on there. Twitter is clearly degrading but it hasn't degraded enough to break the momentum it has, at least not yet.

> The only thing that conan/vcpkg brings to C++ is precompiled dependencies which you don't have to build yourself.

Which is a big deal for many folks.
You don't need FFI -- you could reach for JDK internals if you conclude you must; all that requires is a flag. What we gain from this is that the vast majority of programs using Unsafe will gain safety with the new supported APIs and will not lose performance.

Also, FFI to Rust will buy you nothing. Safe Rust performs the same bound checks as Java while unsafe Rust would be just as unsafe as using JDK internals. If you want to prove the safety of unsafe code in some other unsafe language, you might as well do the same for unsafe Java code using JDK internals (it would probably even be easier).
Turbo Pascal was already blazing fast in MS-DOS computers, and it allows circular dependencies.
Which makes sense, since people who "migrated" to Threads mostly done so because they disagreed with Musk on politics. People who use Twitter for non-political stuff had much less incentive to move and largely stayed.
Oh, I don't know. I seem to see it ok. How about you? Didn't you miss that they're using classified?
Why does the free market arugment apply on apple's ecosystem but not the mobile ecosystem? There are alternative app stores with alternative ecosystems - if you have a bad experience with your iPhone, replace it with an Android and use the open ecosystem there.
A cycle exact and semantically precise one, sure. One that is allowed to prune unobserved results, on the other hand could potentially just lazily evaluate or simulate approximate outcomes and skip whole chunks of the simulation. To make claims about the computational power needed to simulate something, we really need to first know at what level of precision, and whether there are e.g. any observable effects of taking shortcuts or not (e.g. if "outside time" are not observable "inside", then skipping anything that can be lazily evaluated only if actually referenced from something observable even if it makes computation slow might be fine)
Since you brought up coercion as a reason for consent, do note that when your works are used, no action is being done upon you. So what coercion is being done here?

On the other hand, copyright proponents are the ones trying to coerce other people, restricting them from using what they already have access to via the use of copyright laws, backed by state violence. We do not consent to copyright laws.

Of course, the copyright of corporations producing AI is protected by state violence as well. But I do not regard that as legitimate either, so people should try and make that more open (pirating the models) instead of trying to close down their own works.
Cool! It would be fascinating to read more about the Suite A ciphers and compare them to known designs, see how they were inspired by, improved or differ. But I guess there's not much chance of that happening as they're classified, haha! :)

> this academic level of snobbery

...is actually very uncommon in the C world (at least much less common than in the C++ or Rust world).

Specific compilers and stdlibs have specific behaviours which may or may not fully agree with the details written down in the standard. You'll have to pick a subset of compilers you want to support and write your code against that subset of compilers. It's not perfect, but also not much of a problem. It's simply the reality when there are multiple compiler implementations.

I am probably among the very rare ones who had a reverse migration. I had never cared for microblogging social networks before and was fine with just a few anonymous reddit and instagram accounts, but during the acquisition there was so much hullaballoo over it that I decided to give Mastodon a shot. It was, and remains, hilariously inept at content quantity, quality and discovery no matter how many accounts you follow. Then I checked out Twitter (for the first time), and was pleasantly surprised at the relative difference in the quality of discussions and engagement being fed into my home feed.

My initial follows were just a bunch of popular professionals and educators in the AI industry but the algorithm expanded to inferred interests of science, sci-fi, business and cyb-sec and managed to keep me hooked on it more than even Reddit (where the quality of posts broadly everywhere have crashed catastrophically). I don't know if this existed before or that they have done something after it transitioned to X - but it's working. There has been a monumental growth in traffic on X despite all the exodus.
You'd need to either have drivers in the kernel for everything, with no common fallback ("the ARM approach"), or have standards at the hardware/HW firmware level. Having a firmware-level abstraction layer that papers over this for fallback may not be the best idea, but it works without too much politicking.

I read this as "there were a lot of buggy implementations of the C standard, so we imported the bug into the standard". Crazy. Don't make the language less defined going forward.

When those implementations eventually pick up C23, they surely could fix the bug as well. At best this should have been an errata/defect for the previous standard, so that the previous standards document behavior of implementations of said standards.
Why? It's hard to argue without the details, but I think the direction is good.

This is just regulatory capture. It is in the large companies interest to have burdensome regulation - they can shoulder the costs (which are often significant), but newcomers and smaller competitors can't.

This is basically pulling up the ladder to prevent startups and protect incumbents, and the EU has been very successful at that. The share of large companies that have been created in the past three decades is very low compared to the US (mostly in IT).
