You're ignoring the fact that most of the new supply being purchased by investors means they have more power to increase rents, re-leverage their existing real-estate and buy up more. Continuously increasing real-estate prices and rents until the bubble bursts.

The asset NYT bought when they bought Wordle, was to have their name indelibly associated with a trend that is more popular than they themselves are.

Microsoft Management Console loads DLLs into the process, it does not use a separate process for the snap-in. (Just checked this in a debugger)

As for why there would be bad performance for putting a window into another process's window, I can only speculate. It takes something like 10000+ CPU cycles for Windows to finish switching to a different thread or process. If this is happening for every message that is handled by both the parent and the child window, that would be a lot of overhead.

I haven't checked if the Out-of-process webview is the EXE that owns the window or not.

> ...and the point you're pretending you don't understand...

You're making some very interesting assumptions about what I'm thinking here.

> These exist... but you're not going to even mention any, because you're aware that they aren't equivalent.

Again, you're assigning motives to me based on unfounded assumptions. Actually, I haven't mentioned any because I have no reason to endorse any of them. Not because they are inferior, but because I'm not in the market for a cargo clone. If you were interested in learning more, Google is your friend. If not, well, I'm not here to have some silly debate about how Rust and Cargo are superior to everything ever invented. I don't care.

> but they literally cannot be as easy as Cargo because they're hampered by supporting decades of legacy features

New tools are opinionated. They choose features commonly used in modern software.

> the fact that none of them are _the_ standard

None of them _could_ be the standard, because C is used on thousands of different platforms.

> But do you really think it's _perfect_?

No one, anywhere in this thread, has made this argument or anything approaching this argument. No language is perfect.

> Are you really unwilling to admit that there is _anything_ newer languages do better?

That's another bizarre strawman. No one on this thread has made claims remotely approaching this.

You claimed that you were switching projects to Rust because you don't like C build systems. Taking your comment charitably, I replied that there are build and package tools for C that are literal clones of Cargo. But, now you're making assumptions about my motivations for pointing out this in the comment section of an article about C development and building strawman arguments. Why?

I'm not getting sucked into a Rust debate. I don't care. You like Rust? Use it. You like Cargo? Go for it. But, if the reason why you are using either is because you can't find a similar tool for C development, then I recommend doing the reading. The amount of reading required to switch to a new build tool is significantly less than the amount of work required to port even a medium complexity C project to Rust. Of course, if you're looking for an excuse to use Rust, you don't need to use build tools as that excuse. Just write code in Rust.

Debating this is silly.

Lots of other games have the same mechanic as MTG’s tapping. But to avoid legal threats from WotC/Hasbro, most of them call it exhausting or refreshing or other similar words.

I’m skeptical that there’s any valid legal claim there, but if it is more legitimate than well-funded big-corp lawyer bullying, it’s either a trademark claim or a claim that any game with a card-refresh mechanic called “tapping” must be a derivative work of MTG for copyright purposes.

This is more of a defense in depth for the paranoid, but cryptographic PRNGs (and even hardware RNGs) can be compromised in ways that are not easy to find. Since they generate your keys, a compromise of the RNG chain is very valuable for a threat actor.

The article gives no justification for this claim.

EU rules say Apple can't prioritize their own browser. PWAs only work with WebKit due to the iOS security model, and the amount of work necessary to try to support PWAs with third-party browser engines securely was way out of scope for the time frame to support the DMA. Because Apple can't prioritize their own browser, they had to remove PWA support entirely in the EU.

Naturally there was a lot of backlash, and so Apple reversed their decision and will continue to support PWAs with WebKit in the EU. This suggests that perhaps the European Commission told Apple that it was okay to do this as it does seem to violate the "don't prioritize your own browser" rule, but as of the last I saw on this it was still unclear.

I just reviewed United Healthcare's 2022 10k.
In 2022, they had $324B in revenue, and paid $210B in medical expenses. Of the $114B remaining, $85.5B was various operating costs, $28.5B (25%) was corporate profit / operating income (before interest & taxes).
Even if all 40,000 employees of UnitedHealth Group were making 200k (they're not), that'd only account for $8B of their $85.5B in non-medical costs.

Yes, and they are likely very good customers - because their whole business depends on being very high in search results, so they are willing to spend a lot on it. Looking as they are basically charging a markup on a service that somebody else (the government) provides, they are probably willing to share much bigger part of their revenue with Google than a legit business would.

> It’s more or less the same story everywhere in the developed world.

I don't think it is all the same story.

Americans don't have enough children to sustain their population, but they can make it up with immigration. So do most developed countries, with rare exceptions (consider Israel)

Compare Australia: same story, but with one fundamental difference: US is experiencing uncontrolled mass immigration over its southern land border, immigration to Australia is much more selective, with strong preference given to people like university graduates.

Uncontrolled, non-selective mass immigration is likely to cause much greater problems than controlled selective mass immigration.

And Australia isn't unique here, I think Canada and New Zealand are closer to Australia than to the US in this regard.

Sure, Apple takes a strong decision which breaks a just-enforced law, and two days later they back down because they had a nice talk with Epic. /s

The EU told Apple that breaking the law would have dire consequences. That's the only reason Apple backed down.

> B.C.’s attorney general was named as a respondent in the complaint and in its submission said that in early 2020 it implemented a 30-cent per-trip fee under the passenger transportation act or regulation as an incentive for ride-hailing apps to provide a wheelchair accessible ride option, not to exempt them from offering one.

I think this is the interesting part. Uber was paying a fee per ride (previously $0.30, recently $0.90) which was supposed to go towards providing accessible transit options. This doesn't seem like an unreasonable way to ensure that there are accessible options while not requiring every provider to make those accommodations (which can be very expensive for smaller providers as in order to reliably offer accessible transit you need capable vesicles and always have them spread out over your operating range). It seems that raising/adjusing this fee and using the proceeds to subsidize accessible transit could be a quite efficient way to ensure that this service is available and self-balancing based on the market.
"Shortened question text
Throughout the report, question text has been edited for
readability."

Wait, what?

If it needs to be "shortened for readability" for the report, how do we know it wasn't confusing to the respondents in its original form?

I mean, maybe it's fine, but push polling is totally a thing.

I don't trust polls unless the writeup prominently features
details about a) exactly how the subjects were selected, b) the exact text of the questions that were asked, and c) exactly how the data was collected.

A U.S.-based example: a stranger calls someone on the phone and asks them whether they own a firearm, or, alternatively, whether they've ever had an abortion. In either case, it's not a safe bet that the answer is going to be honest.

Another example: I see that they've collected data for this poll in China. I can't believe that strangers cold-calling people in China and asking them whether they trust the government is going to produce data of any value at all.
What? The market price of labor always 'demands' that it be lower... literally import millions of 3rd world immigrants into any first-world country and you will see housing shortages, infrastructure shortages, wage decreases/stagnation, and increased corporate profits.

From the article

> “Following conversations with Epic, they have committed to follow the rules, including our DMA policies. As a result, Epic Sweden AB has been permitted to re-sign the developer agreement and accepted into the Apple Developer Program.”
The main point made is "Epic is verifiably untrustworthy". You're quoting a secondary factor.
Ahem... Guard rails aren't designed for ALL vehicles on the road? Because cars have grown big, yes, but trucks have not. SO or guard rails was not designed to help keep skidding trucks back on track as well or there is something wrong in the article...

Of course I know deflecting the mass of a mean loaded truck is not something we can reasonably do on most roads but the point is simple: there are less trucks than cars of course, but not that less and they go in all weather conditions and for long trips, so while there are many reasons to criticize cars evolution do not use such safety excuses, they are evidently false.
Truely or truly?
Yeah, think about it.
I agree. I feel like this was really a muscle flex from Apple in terms of preventing shenanigans. The most critical part of this for Apple is the message to others who are thinking about opening a app marketplace:

- You're still going to be paying us our 27%

- You screw around and we will clip your wings.

Incidentally, if you don't like the rules Apple has set up, start pushing for a law that you do want. If you happen to be in the US, actually write your representatives rather than just whine about it online to a bunch of other people.
So, you have a tool that "creates marketing strategy for marketers and business owners". But you are not getting sales.

Compiling with `-Werror=missing-declarations -Werror=redundant-decls`, and having a test rule that verifies that every .h file is included on exactly the first line of the corresponding .c file, is very useful at enforcing proper headers. Non-`static` declarations should be forbidden outside of headers. Violating this rule is often the only thing needed to make a project hard to understand. Easy-to-understand projects usually only have to add a few `static`s on unintentionally-exported symbols.

For libraries, it is critical that a distinction be made between "header files that will be installed" (which should use the project name as a directory prefix!) and "header files used internally". I put the latter in src/ but practice varies widely.

I argue that the flat layout is somewhat harmful (though at least using src/ beats shoving everything in ./), because even small projects eventually grow a distinction between "source files that are part of the main installed project" and "source files used solely for maintenance tooling".

Making a distinction between "code that needs to be cross-compiled" and "code that needs to be native" is useful even if you're not planning to do cross-compilation.
Because if I kill your dog I don't get charged with murder.

> White bread is the "100" on the GI scale, and cola is 60

It depends on methodology how you calculate it.
For example this article says that per some methodology cola GI can be 91: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1989668/

Also, I think GI is weight normalized, so you compare 250g of cola with 40g of carbs to 250g of white bread with 120g of carbs.

You don’t notice all the people-today who do hold that attitude because, well, that’s the point!

Conversely, many people of Tolkien’s time went on unfair opinionated rants, but the mediums and opportunities available at the time were a bit more limited than today so you mostly just catch glimpses of it in snippets of old magazine reviews/interviews of now-famous books, filed under the Reception section of a Wikipedia article, notable solely for having aged so poorly.
By principle, deontologists should be completely close for changing.

On practice, nobody is completely either one of those.

Plasticity is interesting because it is maybe the only way to run the Parasolid geometry kernel natively on Linux right now.

Parasolid, the library used to perform the geometric operations (the most difficult and important part of a CAD program) also powers the likes of SolidWorks (the industry standard), NX, and Onshape, and is arguably the best in the world. Its licensing cost is presumably a large part of the Plasticity price.
