>what is stopping Epic from using a PWA today

Unreal and Unity tried in early 2010's to do web based deployment, and it was awful. They pretty much stopped by the mid 2010's. Basically the big game engines just don't support it. It's technically still in Unity at least (I don't think it's in Unreal, but I can be wrong), but it is far from stable.

WebGPU and WebAssembly is giving them both the optimism to try and boot some of that up again, and Cloud gaming is a big momentum factor that they will want to aim for. so I wouldn't rule out the idea of it coming back by the end of the decade. Will Fortnite specifically bother with it? Who knows? There's so many directions this can go and IOS's current decisions will affect a lot of that.
The AI, given the right prompt, will develop plans, conduct research, command robotic factories, and give us decarbonization and carbon-neutral industry, faster than 8B humans would manage!

(Just never mention paperclips. Forget this word.)
>Well yes, of course, we agree vigorously on this. I ask you: how does one grant these control freaks the least possible power? Clearly bowing to their every whim is a losing approach: if someone wants to pick a fight with me about the use of the term "blacklist", very well, they'll get their fight, because I won't stop.

I've been wondering about this myself. It seems to be part of a communist-adjacent power grab. The objective is to install useful idiots in all the right places so certain people can use fear to keep others in line, and ultimately advance more ambitious agendas of oppression. I'm still doing research on this subject. I just found a blog today at https://newdiscourses.com that seems dedicated to fighting this fight. It's relatively high-IQ stuff.

Anyway I agree that "trunk" is a better name than "master" or "main" for a new version control system, at least if it uses "branch" terminology. But git has been established for many years and we are only talking about an inconvenient change because of activists. Simply ignoring the activists and continuing as usual is not "granting them power"... Unless you are making a change away from something else over to "master" naming lol.

Unfortunately, there is no consistent meaning for what the master/main branch actually is out in the wild. It could be the stable branch or it could be the development branch, or it could be an old ref retained out of fear by someone who decided to jump on the renaming bandwagon. But I think for developer-centric projects, master is the stable dev branch. For user-centric project, it is often the last stable release branch. Both of these make sense.
At least in Germany, such agreements are afaik invalid and without a severability clause, possibly all others too. Simply because something like copyright cannot be assigned in Germany. Secondly, there are ways to use Reddit without ever having agreed to the ToS.
This is ultimately subjective, but I thought the Three Body Problem trilogy was the best sci-fi novels in 20 years.
This is from November 2023 prior to Sora.

Reading this in the context of Sora, this is contingent on:

1. movie or tv show length generation needs to be reasonably affordable,

2. the generated output must look real beyond first look (text is readable, physics is correct, no dream-like morphing),

3. continuity between scenes

4. prompts can accurately produce the artistic vision from directors and producers faster than a human just doing it

5. the public will accept it

I am reminded of a scene in Westworld, where basically a someone can sit a desk and describe in natural language a scene to a computer for instant rendering. The user can now concern himself exclusively on the details of the story. Perhaps roles will transition to becoming full time story tellers, and the minutia of vfx, animating, rigging, 3d models, actors, cameras, set designers, trucks, food, lighting, electrical, location, licensing, permits, etc. all go away.
while the geopolitical take is true, the economic sacrifice you'd have by not taking china's surplus is actually not benefitial.

The solar panels can enable other industries locally. For example, cheap and plentiful electricity can be used to produce local stuff that costs energy.

And solar panel production is not really "strategically" important - in a kinetic war, china can withold solar panels and it would not make a difference in the war.

Therefore, there's no reason not to import cheap panels.
I had a similar issue a few days ago. Watch started pressing random buttons and wouldn’t let me intervene. After a while it stopped.

The presses were completely random and amounted to nothing. Looked like the process that reads touch went into an infinite loop of some sort.

Has only happened the one time. Lasted about 2 minutes. I may have rebooted the watch to make the issue go away, can’t remember.
Wait till you learn about Apple toggles
Pyright by default because it's a LSP so I get to go definition, find references, etc... as well as the type checking in neovim. It's Pylance as part of the Python plugin in VS Code. Just make sure you go to the settings in Vs code and turn the type checking on to basic or strict. (It's off by default)

I tend to run mypy every now and then ad-hoc to check things and it sometimes finds things that need correcting but I wouldn't say it's as worth setting up as the former.
Would also be interested in what is friendly with Django. Using VSCode + the Python extension, the default checker (Pylance?) just pukes on the ORM magic.
I bet it can realistically only be solar, and maybe a nuclear plan or two.

The solar energy would be wasted anyway unless captured. (Nuclear plants are harder.)
remember when they said chatbots will kill websites and apps in 2016? Pepperidge farm remembers...
Most don’t but neither would you if you had all your info from TV box for 20 years.
My guess is the same but I’ll just add that to this day I only have one message in my apple support forum account, posted when I encountered a nasty bug with iOS few weeks ago.
Yeah I really enjoyed the whole trilogy.
I've lived various lifestyles. If i was to bluntly answer your question, really it's because I hate cars. I understand that global economies need last mile delivery infrastructure and so there's roads. I get that.

But if you ask me to live a life of Suburban commuting, I'd tell you, from experience: that's inhumane.

I'm born and raised in Los Angeles. It's not the absolute worst, but it gives me the credibility I need to say yeah i'd rather literally walk and bike everywhere than suffer the inhumanity of car culture.

and that's what i do.

That part seems made up. I don't think the watch possesses the capability for the level of remote control they are talking about, especially on production builds.
The video looks a lot like ghost touch. Could be 2 separate issues.
Is it? Would it be better that the demand for gas was satisfied by exploring and drilling new gas fields rather than using the ones we already have more efficiently?
Pyright is much faster than Mypy, we changed some times ago and went from something like 20 mins to less than 2.

> support for optional features and dependencies tied to them, ala cargo.

For those of us who relies on trunk-based-development and feature flags, lack of this feature has been major pain! I can't remember how many times we had to keep a feature in a branch because it needs a change in package.json.
Love what you guys are doing. Is it possible to host custom models on fal?
Good point.
Besides, there is no detailed guidebook on censorship in China.
Every organization (media, social media) has to guess what the gov wants to censor.
As a result, every organization tends to overdo it. Because 1). you never know if you miss one target that should be censored and 2). What is OK today might not be OK tomorrow.
Censorship in China is an art (or joke).
> Epic Games does it. Amazon does it. Here's some featured apps on the Fire tablet app store: Minecraft, Paramount+, Roblox, Netflix

And how is that relevant for phones?

> Yes, because you've already made the native app while a PWA is a very different platform. It's usually hard to justify a shift to such a different platform unless it saved you a lot of time by, for example, covering all major and popular platforms like iOS.

A 30% savings in the cost to go after 70% of the market is not enough of a motivation? New games/apps are coming out all of the time. Why not do web first if web technology is good enough and capture both the desktop and Android?

In most of the rest of the world, iOS has much less market share than in the US.

> Apple never had a viable way to take a cut of B2B, no one is arguing that they are trying to protect B2B revenue, the point is that they are trying to protect B2C revenue and they shouldn't be able to

On my phone right now, I pay for Microsoft Office, Netflix, HBO Max, Kindle books, Amazon Prime (including Video) and Disney+ outside of the App Store.

I don’t subscribe to Spotify. But you can’t buy a Spotify subscription on the App Store.

All of Google’s apps that have a for pay component can be subscribed to outside of the App Store and you can’t subscribe to YouTube TV using in app purchases.

> Both Google and Facebook are profitable enough (in fact some of the most profitable in the world) that they can afford to make the best experience on every platform, including desktop.

The first B2B SaaS company I worked for after mobile became a thing had two developers writing the front end apps for both iOS and Android using native tools.

It doesn’t take a trillion dollar market cap company to maintain native apps.

Have lived in SOMA for the past 9 years or so. No car. Works great.

To be fair I think of The Avenues and the Marina as almost another planet. It’s easier to get to Oakland than over there. Although I do run past the Marina every weekend, but most people don’t do weekly 16mile runs just for fun.

In my area most daily trips are easier by bicycle or public transit than by car. My gym is 15min by car, 12min by bicycle, 20min by bus, and 25min by foot away. During rush hour, which is when I go to the gym, that car trip easily turns into 20min+. I can literally outpace cars uphill on my bicycle thanks to slight fudging around red lights.

You were replying to another commenter so patronizingly, which isn't a common interaction, that I was puzzled. But then I realized you do so because you are really just so confident in your opinion on this matter. And I assumed that means this is the opinion held by your social group or political organization, but then I thought I'd let you explain.
Reminds me of the Westworld series in which they use these ipad like devices with sliders to change behavior of AIs. Little bit more humor, little bit more aggressive. Nice to these control options and its quick as well.

The closest thing I've found to USENET, unsurprinsgly, has been Reddit. But it's still a poor facsimile. I spent hours a day, every day, on USENET in the 90s. I'd scroll around the feed of group names and see things like alt.sex.bald.captains or alt.wesley.crusher.die.die.die and have to go check it out.
The amount of time one is willing to set aside to learn new tools & workflows isn't worth it if they are to be used for a limited period. It's much better to use the old tools one is familiar with in those cases.

This reads like bad hacking fiction, complete with the guy typing that wearing a Guy Fawkes mask. Why the hell would the (hypothetical) attacker lose precious time doing something like that.
I would say that crashing and burning might be better overall, both for not dilutiong the reputation of Hugo by the allegations of caving to pressure (because pressure there was), and demonstrating the problems with China's censorship, to the Chinese themselves (who had voted for Chengdu) among others.
The game as shipped on disc will generally already be out of date on launch day, with day 1 updates waiting for download. Over time these have started to comprise the bulk of the game itself.

These days it makes no sense to actually copy anything off the disc when you'll have to redownload the entire (updated) build off Sony's servers.

These might be the last consoles that ever have disc support.
Is it possible there’s an exploit to remotely touch, which at first looked random, but as people figured it out learned to actually operate the device?
Very few claim it is inherently good. The claim is that people should be allowed to build dense housing on their land if they want to, and their neighbors shouldnt be able to stop them. Youve completely flipped the goal of the yimby movement.

Typically you just type “git mergetool” and the tool launches without you having to care about the marker format.
The training data still has to come from somewhere. This just means churning out cookie cutter filmography can even more shortcuts than green screen CGI.

I'm finishing up migrating a large-ish web app from react-vis to echarts and am very happy with the results. There are a couple things to note:

- It's not very react friendly out of the box. There are some good wrappers that mostly fix this, and overall I view this as a strength as someday maybe the product I work on will migrate away from react. Our graph configuration may survive that migration assuming our next ui lib supports echarts in some fashion.

- it's not d3 based. This part is kind of a big deal. For those not familiar with the internals of js graphing, d3 has been a foundational lib for generalized graphing libs for a very long time ("generalized" here is meant to differentiate between something that can render 8 graph types versus a jquery plugin that can render only a bar chart). I'm curious if any other graphing libs will build on echarts internals in the future and if the current rise in popularity will one day be seen as the end of d3.

- The documentation is truly best in class. Really great stuff. I've been trying to exactly emulate the behavior from our previous lib and while that's occasionally been challenging, the docs have always come through for me.

On a side note my current headache that I'm trying to solve with echarts is handling log scales with data that contains negative/zero values. Quite a few graph libraries that support log scaling don't support this, and I think it may have to do with some fundamental conflict between ui people who (imo reasonably) look at their data and say "my log scale Y axis ticks should be -1, -100, -10000, -1000000! Why is that so hard?" And some dev with a slightly puritanical bent thinks about log(0) and log(-100) and their eye starts twitching and in the end of the day the feature never gets added. I get it math nerds, I get it. But throw me a bone, will ya?
3 Body problem is the novel that made me go from reading one sci Fi novel every couple years to ferociously reading multiple per year for a while trying to recapture the feeling I had reading it. Have read some good ones after but nothing so far that captured me in the same way.
The courts view arbitration as a _forum_ change. The idea is that you're waiving some procedural rights while retaining all substantive rights. This is independent of a jury waiver (although arbitration necessarily requires a jury waiver).

There are some severe problems both in theory and in practice, but that's the rough justification.

At the risk of spamming (I think I've pasted this link several times recently) I've been compiling as much information as possible here. https://arbitrationinformation.org/docs/problems/

> But you'd let it be known after the event, so no arrests ...

That seems like a hole in the concept.

For the situation where the authorities are turning up to arrest people, it's most likely they're not being arrested for winning.

It's more likely they're being arrested for other things that happened before.

So, the award situation is more being used as a useful honeypot to get them physically there.

Those people would be arrested anyway, regardless of whether they win.

To my knowledge, the two species with genocidal tendencies are humans and chimpanzees [1]. The drive for not only defeating but thoroughly eliminating an adversary appears to be, at least in modern biology, unique.

I can also see how Tailwind can help teams that just want to move forward by copy/pasting ready-made components without ever looking "under the hood".

However, I wrote this article for the love of CSS, web standards, and the web in general. I think Tailwind's dishonest marketing tactics aren't doing good for the development community. Especially for young developers who are suddenly told that things like separation of concerns and good naming practises are a bad thing.

So, people not rising in rebellion barehanded against Putin's well funded, armed and organized occupation army counts as Putin's broad support in your book. Serious talk, right.
Antigen-specific immune responses against cancer cells usually involve clonal expansion (aka rapid division) of immune cells once co-stimulation has been achieved. This is often hindered by chemotherapy, although in the best case scenario, if the chemo is effective then it can lead to antigen uptake by local immune cells (epitope spread) which leads to a cascade of immune activity to clear the tumors.

I know that I am oversimplifying. However, generally chemotherapy works by killing rapidly dividing cells, such as cancer cells, hair cells, bone marrow progenitor cells, and immune cells at the tumor site. So yes, it does often functionally destroy/reboot the immune system. If you know of a chemo combo for solid tumors which doesn't lead to neutropenia or other functional immune depletions, please let me know.
It also has a statically typed storage for game entities, something ECS-based engines are lacking and in fact many people have tried to write an ECS wit hstatically typed entities and all (including me) ended up conclusing it's not possible in the current Rust.

It very much does when you have a ton of FKs (enforced or not) using such a column, and thus indexed and used in many joins. Making it twice as hard for the hot part of an index to fit to RAM is never good for performance, nor for the cloud bill.

If you have a column that is used in many joins, there are performance reasons to make it as compact as possible (but not smaller).

It would be better to put less C02 into the atmosphere.

Currently exploration for new fields and exploitation of current fields takes place in parallel, and extraction is continuously increasing.

Global C02 output is still increasing.

If people with money want strawberries, they buy more strawberries. Price of strawberries goes up. Farmers who could choose to grow strawberries or some other thing decide that they want to grow strawberries because the price is high. More strawberries are grown.

The people who have the money to buy the strawberries indirectly caused more strawberries to be created.

So yeah, the people with the money decide what gets created. This is a good thing.
