FF8 is a WEIRD game. It also was my introduction to the depth of power publishers have over the game review "independent" press.

FF8 was universally lauded by the major sites as the best JRPG since sliced bread. In reality it had an unlikeable lead character, an absolutely bizarre plot with time flashbacks that were totally nonsensical, the main party was composed of thoroughly unlikable teenagers, the plot twists about their shared mother was just dropped out of nowhere, the game mechanics required you to "junction" to a summon spirit to get things out of your backpack, leveling up was actually a bad thing, and ... just so much more. Cards. Draw grinding. Gunblades.

This VERY LONG review perfectly tears it apart, but, uh, warning it has epiteths like "fag" and others that date it to the teenage slang of the late 90s.

How can we be certain that Apple's actions don't mean a loss of privacy too? Whenever they're asked about seriously decentralizing their own trust model Apple tends to fall back on the "legal compliance" note, if not directly on think-of-the-children. Their lack of transparency (even the base level that Google provides with the AOSP) isn't very reassuring, at least to me.

Now, one could argue that Apple's decisions are less impactful than politicians. Circumstantially, they may be right, but I think it's appropriate to compare the line of reasoning. After all, Apple employs both.
JSR is almost literally a subset of npm in features. Npm allows publishing of anything, JSR only actual TS/ESM. Whether those modules have dependencies doesn’t expand the set IMHO

I also paid for ST3, but I switched to ST4 for the hardware accelerated rendering. I don't like their licensing policy anymore, so I just dismiss the purchase signs. I want to get my company to pay for it because paying 100 USD _again_ is just absurd for me.

I have no plans to switch off though. This is still a heck of a lot faster than the alternatives

I don't understand what you're saying. Are you saying that "lazy borrowing" is how the compiler works, or that it's just how you mentally model Rust for your own convenience? There is no "lazy borrowing" in the Rust compiler, as far as I know.

You can create a mutable reference `mut1`, mutate through it, create a new mutable reference `mut2`, mutate through it, then mutate through `mut1` again. Here is an example to illustrate:

fn main() {
let mut s = String::from("1"); // create value

let mut1: &mut _ = &mut s; // create a ref mut
*mut1 = String::from("2"); // write through mut1
println!("using mut1: {mut1}"); // print mut1

let mut2: &mut _ = &mut *mut1; // create a second ref mut
*mut2 = String::from("3"); // write through mut2
println!("using mut2: {mut2}"); // print mut2

*mut1 = String::from("4"); // write through mut1 again
println!("using mut1: {mut1}"); // print mut1
}

Lifetime analysis can infer shorter lifetimes for unused refs. But creating refs in the wrong order matters even if you never use them, and not all orders are valid Rust programs. Here's a very small example that doesn't compile:

fn main() {
let mut s = String::from("1");

let mut1: &mut _ = &mut s;
let mut2: &mut _ = &mut s; // never used!

println!("Using mut1: {mut1}");
}

I’m sorry but that did not come up when designing the system? It’s the whole principle of semver ranges that deno decided to do away with. I cannot believe nobody saw this as a drawback. It’s the first thing I thought when I saw hardcoded versions.

Insanely good class systems making for much better gameplay and replayability
> of course Facebook could do that from the web.

Facebook could insert custom code into 3rd-party domains that have no relationship with it?

No, it can't. If Facebook could perform arbitrary XSS on 3rd-party websites it had no relationship with when you clicked on links on the Facebook website, that would be rightly treated as critical zero-day security flaw in any web browser.

I mean, you're saying you're familiar with this stuff, but you're also saying that Facebook can do arbitrary XSS via links, so forgive me for doubting you. Of course fingerprinting is possible on the web. It's easier with native apps. The web at least tries to shut down fingerprinting vectors; native platforms like iOS largely don't. Far from shutting down fingerprinting vectors, both Android and iOS have platform-supported device-specific advertising IDs that don't even require fingerprinting. At least Apple (eventually) started clearing the low, low bar of forcing applications to ask permission to access it, but that's a far cry from the kind of sandboxing and site/app isolation that happens in Safari.

> And what do you think is going to happen if there are more native APIs exposed in browsers?

I'm sorry, your defense for privileging native apps over browser apps is "if browsers could do everything native apps could do, it would be a nightmare for privacy"?

What do you think that says about the privacy and security of native apps?

They are type safe. They are not value safe, but neither language supports value constraints, so that isn't unexpected.
Whenever you're running this kind of eyeball test with DevTools, make sure the "Disable Cache" option is _not_ checked. And even then, make sure the requests you're counting were not served from your browser cache. It's possible that only the first page load sends hundreds of requests, and subsequent loads may still initiate those requests, but have their responses served from your browser cache (or your cache is disabled).

I would check myself, but I haven't logged into Facebook in many years. :)

Bun’s goal is to be an actual superset of node, so you can write just for node and expect it to work in bun.

What's nonsensical is believing that busybodies are new or worth anyone's time. We all knew who they were growing up. Not only would we identify them, but we would tell kids we barely knew to watch out for them.

Thousands of years ago, people CERTAINLY had to the time to sit around and evaluate other people. You think everyone was running around in a field with a spear? They'd plant crops, do chores, and then sit around and do fuck-all, especially when it got hot in the afternoon hours.

Stop defending childish, modern idiocy. The times haven't changed at all. The people have changed. They've become cowards.
Public services used by people who can afford the alternatives are universally better than those intended for the poor. If you don't use the service yourself, you don't care that much about the quality, and you are more likely to support funding cuts. Because the poor are a minority, most people don't really care about services used by them.
Agreed. For all the talk about “AI can make you more efficient,” which it has, in my personal experience, there should be no excuse for worldwide standardization of 4 days over 5 days.

Yeah but has that community grown because of OpenAI, or in spite of it.

Uh and that’s different how? The default semver range is “minimum dependency version” with an upper bound in the current major.
Pretty sure this is correct. Seen a number of unbiased whole tissue seq studies point to 4-6 subtypes. Amyloid may be a driver in like one, same for immune, but mostly its tauopathy, age related, or vascular changes.

Is this a good way to build UI?

The syntax looks very awkward.

I would love to see an XML based UI generator in Python.
The story discusses, and dismisses, the option of incorporating magnetic sweeping into regular street-sweeping operations, though I find the argument unconvincing.

If your goal is to pick up loose ferrous material (much of which incidentally turns out to be dust, some of which is apparently meteoric in origin), you don't need magnets which are capable of yoinking a manhole cover or sewer grating out of the ground. An array of magnets, periodically wiped into the normal trash flow, should do the trick. (This is a case where electromagnets rather than fixed magnets are probably superior.) A fancy-pants solution might use GPS and GIS to note locations of known ferrous infrastructure (grates and the like), though it seems to me that simply by tuning the magnet's strength and reach it should be possible to, say, lift a few grams of nails or tacks, whilst leaving the 100kg+ covers and grates in place.

(There are a few smaller utility openings, though I suspect those are rare, as street furniture generally needs to Not Move whilst being trampled by autos, lorries, busses, etc.)

This is of course aside from Atlanta's apparently quite stingy sweeping schedule, another matter.

Yeah, it’s hard to argue with the production value of Chrono Trigger. I debated putting it agead of VII, but the scope of that game is just too big. The story is more interesting, and the materia system is better than the combo system (imo).

It's essentially worse. The target audience is people like data scientists who are only familiar with Python, but it won't replace isomorphic javascript anytime soon or ever.
You’re assuming a lot about what the hardware supports natively and conflating that to performance. A lot of the performance loss is hard to measure without considering the vast difference in GPU architecture.

I think one area people miss out on is local meetups in a tech area you know and want to work with. Networking with those people you’ll discover which companies are good/bad/etc and then also know someone there.

Seems to me it would most definitely not include what he did in this actual reality.

So has its ecosystem. Setting up parcel or Vite is straightforward and should get you out of those problems. The time when you could just download a .js file and stick it in your vendors folder is long long gone. Please bundle and minify your files before serving them.

>Is there any reason to assume that production/mining won't be electrified and produce zero emissions?

Mining is done with huge vehicles that are hard to electrify due to energy-density limits of batteries and hydrogen, and also operate in a remote low-infrastructure area where there are a bunch of big vehicles moving around and ripping up the ground all over the place, making it expensive and difficult to run any direct powerlines or such.

And of course, hypothetical future improvements can't be compared to a baseline of zero - they have to be compared to a baseline of no more than the alternative, the alternative here being hypothetical future ICE cars. For instance, suppose that tomorrow they invent a magic petrol-producing machine that sucks out CO2 from the air and turns it into fuel, for free - that would reduce the emissions of mining dramatically, but it would also make ICE cars near-zero net emissions. So hypothetical future improvements could be negative simply due to ICE cars improving faster. Note that I say "could" as in "it's possible", not that it's necessarily likely - ICE cars have received far more R&D money than EVs, due to having dominated the market for the last century, so they're way further ahead on the learning curve.

If you were laboring to buy a seat next to someone at lunch, you had a very messed up childhood.

Again, that is not what the term social status refers to, nor is it the goal of most people's labor, nor is it something that would logically be acquired by labor.

Your breastfeeding toddler does not wish to monopolize your partner's time because of her high social status which was elevated by her labor; he wants a secure source of food. Children will probably always want their mothers, but in a post scarcity world no one needs to worry about where their next meal is coming from.
Yes, installed PWAs can run fullscreen. This limitation exists only inside of Safari proper.

The intent here is likely to avoid the messes that could be caused by arbitrary sites being able to fullscreen and confuse or trick the user. Requiring a user interaction to fullscreen doesn’t help here much, it’s easy to attach the function to an innocuous looking link or image that baits users into tapping them.
