Agreed. Outlook native gets extremely confused when the desktop resolution/scaling changes. It also uses as an old version of IE/Trident (?!) to render HTML e-mails, which is very painful to work with when trying to build rich e-mail notifications.
This. If you ever look at apples raw input touch privateframework it provides enough data for the relative direction/size as well as has some encoded states to at least detect between a very faint touch and a finger on the trackpad.

Not sure why you are getting the downvotes, this was stated as the main reason that Meta disbanded FB News:

Giving unconditional money to private news orgs does nothing to change the incentive structure towards polarizing rage-bait since private companies will optimize for the marginal customer. The incentives don't change and hence behavior won't change.

You either need to condition that money or remove the profit motive.
Perhaps but staying neutral is still very much a valid way of staying out of things as much as possible. As a commercial enterprise, I would be happy to alienate a small subset of my customers on both sides if it means I don't alienate all customers on one side.

That said, being a MITM is the entire point of cloudflare so I don't see this as an issue for them. The other side can also use this service to protect their own models when they eventually start popping up.
My point is that if you're going to spend the time to travel to another continent, a few hours on each end don't really matter much. There's a good chance they'll be at their destination for a the better part of a week. That's been my experience when I've traveled with execs.

Personally I'll probably take a more comfortable trip over an incrementally faster trip. But that's just me of course. (Unless it possibly avoids a red-eye.) Business-class trans-Pacific is a bit boring but it's not really that painful.

(As I wrote elsewhere, my dad also used to prefer routinely flying first class in a 747 vs. taking the Concorde.) Comfort isn't just about speed.

I highly doubt that. With on-die ECC and the ridiculously complicated PAM3 encoding/decoding, I would bet that latency is going to increase over GDDR6.
// the right abstraction to think about Datalog is … first order predicate calculus, not the relational calculus//

Umm… I hate to be contrary, but FOPC is a logic about relations. You might think that it is about objects, and it is, but only indirectly, mediated by relations. Constants which refer to objects only appear in the argument lists of relations.

FOPC is all about relations. It’s the language we use when we want to formally define a relation.

Seems like you might as well use Private Use Area characters[0] and keep things valid UTF-8.

(Yes, you will have problems with paths that contain PUA characters. But people have pointed out that paths aren't necessarily valid UTF-8, so you can't inline-encode your way out of this anyway. PUA characters are likely vanishingly less common than spaces, so you still mostly solve the problem.)

Books like that are cool and were a big influence on my desire to become a programmer, but I didn’t know it at the time.

One of the bigger revelations I had first learning to program was based around a confusing thing I’d wondered about the very first time I saw a 3D video game, Super Mario 64. Up to that point my young brain could have imagined how a 2D game could be programmed, naively thinking they had just coded up every possible game state. But the sheer number of permutations in the 3D, open world plane immediately made me realize that was impossible to do because of the sheer number of permutations - so I concluded something else must have been afoot, but it was all mystical to me.

Anyway I was struggling bad with programming concepts very early on and tried to make an interactive multiplayer text adventure game in the same exact way as this book, struggled mightily, until one day I realized some of it could be done algorithmically rather than encoding every possible permutation into the game - and it clicked. A very vivid and surreal moment for me that I’ll never forget. As we age and get more senior, we forget little sparks like that sometimes I think. Thanks for posting this

For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,

The fundamental problem is that the EU's regulatory bodies do not understand technology. Regulation in the EU has turned into a bona-fide industry, and it's a massive train of the blind leading the blind.

Whether it's with Article 45 trying to break PKI [1], or with the AI Act trying to regulate the transformer model itself [2], or with ChatControl trying to surveil everyone, EU regulation is clearly a clownshow at this point where you get cheered on as long as you propose some regulation, any regulation!

As someone who understands about 2% of the GP but maybe 85% of TFA, I'd suggest diving into the various topics explored there. Galois Fields, for instance, are a rich topic for Wikipedia research and have intuitive and surprising properties that make them fun to learn about.

This will lead you deeper into study of abstract algebra concepts like groups and rings. If you haven't done much set theory you will probably go deep on that and develop an opinion on the Axiom of Choice.

Then you'll probably surface a bit to look at elliptic curves and consider their many applications in abstract and concrete topics like cryptography and the elusive proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.

By then you'll have caught up to me. In the meantime I'll be reading up on module forms and L-functions.

10 years from now nobody will be able to back an old car out of a parking space because old cars don't have backup cameras.

This doesn't make backup cameras bad but it does require that new drivers be trained for what happens when they fail. This idea is fairly new for driving instruction but it used to be mandatory for pilot training.
I’m also baffled by this, but Apple's trackpads have been really good for much more than a decade. I remember doing Bézier curves on a G3’s trackpad and PC people thought I was a wizard.

Accenture has >730,000 employees (https://newsroom.accenture.com/fact-sheet)

Much of their model is hiring entry-level to junior resources, upskill them, bill them out to clients at high mark-ups. Many parts of the workforce follow an up-or-out mentality and technical/functional upskilling is a key component to this, rather than just tenure.

Purchasing a platform to train that many people is probably a bargain compared to what they are probably doing now -- letting everyone choose their own platform and reimbursing the retail cost.

It is definitely a bargain compared to what they did when I worked there -- they owned and operated an entire University-like campus called "St. Charles Illinois" and flew people in from all over the world.
Look, we can appreciate that you're trying to construct an argument, but you're out of your depth here, in roughly the way that someone who does a quick Google search about a disease takes it upon him/herself to proclaim that world-renowned expert researchers don't know what they're talking about.

Good considerations, but news organizations did used to compete on credibility when it was profitable to do so.

No doubt the law could be improved, but how? How would you condition the money, specifically? Or if you remove the money, what else can be done to encourage a free market which values the truth?
I’d note that compounding interest is already a “late fee.” The longer you hold the debt the larger it becomes, exponentially. In a meaningful way late fees are double dipping.
As the person who made this call originally at Facebook for the apps--it's not worth it. Any sufficiently advanced or motivated person/group/government would break through eventually...such is the nature of shipping client binaries. You can spend a ton of time and money trying to prevent it (for example Pinterest once was trying to ship their own custom language + vm, which I advised against) OR...just accept that your client code is compromised by default, put logic on the server, and move on with your life.

Cert pinning is basically free and is sort of a "you must be this tall to ride the ride" thing--not secure, but keeps the riff raff out.

There's a difference between "paying interest because you didn't pay off your entire balance" and "paying a $40 late fee because you forgot the payment was due at 10:59AM Eastern Time and you were an hour late".
You're right, it is everywhere.

I call out microsoft specifically because of their flat out destruction of their QA teams and their pioneering of normalising totally broken software amongst tech people, power users, and the generally clueless alike. Things couldn't be this bad across the board without microsoft and such hits as that time a windows update somehow started deleting people's files, or one that changed all printers to one specific model. That's even ignoring the gaming side of microsoft and they fully support the release of games they publish that are varying shades of unplayable at launch, like Forza Horizon 5.

I strongly disagree that devs as in software engineer/software developer titled people are the problem, though. Devs as in the companies, like Playground Games as the developer of FH5, are though. The companies don't care. Why would they? Release garbage, get a bunch of money, and maybe tidy up a few bugs ...eventually. Maybe. Why have staff learn their craft and know their tools when the company priorities don't need it? Why respect the craft as a craft at all when all you want is code monkeys to do what they're damned well told? That culture hasn't come from software developers the people, it comes from the staff at these companies who realise it's cheaper in the short term to just burn people out to slap something together as quickly as possible and rake in the cash. On to the next steaming pile of garbage and a totally new team because the last lot left the industry entirely after suffering under that shit. Even better if you can get a bunch of bright-eyes, bushy-tailed, single, childless interns who don't yet have the experience to know how bad it all is. Why hire someone who has been in the industry for more than a couple of years who wants to bother with things like source control, QA, BA, mentoring the newbies, or anything else that slows everything down when you can just ...not do that and still get money?

It's not the software devs whose passion is selling in-game currencies, live service slot machine garbage, or lovingly reinstalling candy crush every time you update windows; that's the realm of 'infinite' growth fetishising weirdos. They don't need artist/wizard/god-tier problem solving software engineers who can squeeze an unimaginable amount of value out of every single bit of memory on the PS1 to bring the world of Crash Bandicoot to life. They don't need an operating system that is thoughtfully engineered. They don't need an office suite that actually works. They want ongoing revenue and that is the only thing that matters.

Pardon my ramble, but unfortunately, right now we all have bills to pay, and there's just not enough great jobs doing great things (in at least a thoughtful way) for all of us.
>Dart has it, last 12 months or so.

To clarify, in the above scenario in dart I can have an input with type MyEnum and do this?

switch myEnum {

case let one:

// react to this here

case let two(twosChild: twosChild):

// call an API passing in a child element of twosChild here

case let three(threesGenericChild: threesGenericChild):

// T: Protocol, and call an extension function threesGenericChild.extension() here?

case let four(foursCallbackChild: foursCallbackChild):

// Pass foursCallbackChild callback into another context, and execute an escaping closure if needed?

}

Last I checked Dart required a nested if/else tree and didn't have compiler-guarantees of switch completeness like the above.

>> there was a genuine belief that we were on the cusp of a paradigm shift in how we learned

Why do you feel that belief has changed? I have used Khan Academy, Coursera, Udacity, OReilly Safari, and Udemy. All are great and each excels in different areas. Many have removed their all-access passes in the past year, but they all cost almost nothing compared to the alternatives. I could only have hoped for such awesome platforms existing when I was in high school or college.

For a sufficiently motivated learner, they are like rocket fuel for the mind. Their flexibility makes them great even for busy professionals.
There are plenty of adblockers for safari that work fine?

Your flipped argument doesn't work. Apple gets tons of money from... the people who buy the phones! The actual users! That they then consider these users to be a captive audience who can't be trusted to use the device they paid a lot of money for, is the questionable situation. Why can't these people engage in business with Spotify to use it on their device, that they paid for, without Apple coming back and asking for more money?
