I used the term resolution as a stand-in for how the question is asked, as I thought everyone here would understand it easier like that.

Ofc the person isn't asked which pixel density, pixel ratio, resolution etc should be supported - they're asked what the smallest device is they should support. And this is usually the iPhone, and raising issues if a design doesn't work on a iPhone mini gets reprioritized into the backlog until someone closes it as won't fix.

And yes, I'd wager these multinational giga corporations like MAMA (Microsoft, Apple, Meta, Alphabet) are very different in culture, but I can't speak from experience, Ive never applied to work for any of them

I believe my nation classifies small enterprise to be <50 employees, with large starting at 250. That's a very different organisation structure then you get in a corporation with tens of thousands of employees, spanning multiple nations.
Maybe they are going for that or acquisition. In which case juicing up the numbers will make things look better.

The US seems to have been extremely strong in its reaction to the ruling.

"“My colleagues and I look forward to make sure neither Khan, his associates nor their families will ever set foot again in the United States,” Republican Senator Tom Cotton wrote on X."

"The ICC is the world’s first permanent international war crimes court and its 124 member states are obliged to immediately arrest the wanted person if they are on a member state’s territory."

Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/5/21/no-equivalence-bide...

I don't understand how the US and many other EU governments can be so extremely critical of a court which as far as I know has been considered legitimate by all of them (except the US which apparently removed its signature... anyone knows why?), and whose decisions have always been applauded by all of them (including Putin's arrest [1]), except for this last one.

Quoting from the linked article [1]: "British journalist George Monbiot wrote in a Guardian op-ed that the ICC targeting Putin was an example of the organization's bias in favor of prosecuting crimes by non-Westerners, ...".

Looks like that's the real issue here, doesn't it?

After 20 years of using Linux on the desktop (and FreeBSD, and NetBsd) in parallel with Windows, I gave up.

So I went Windows only for the desktop since 4 years. Of course, when I had to do something server side, it was Linux only.

Recently I bought a MacBook Pro and the experience is very Windows like. I don't have to mess with the OS and it just works.

Hi there,

I am a self taught solo full stack dev.

For a few of my previous projects I used a script that would help generate blogs to increase my SEO of the projects to get passive traffic. My brother who is successful in dropshipping and I decided to see if there is any need for this in his area of expertise so I hacked this up in like two weeks and I just launched it yesterday.

Any feedback is always welcome!
I have about 7 years of professional Laravel experience. I think it's quite slick! There is one aspect I haven't seen mentioned here that frustrates me: the community is quite eager to make new shiny things and forget about existing things. I feel the core framework doesn't get a lot of love anymore, and the same for some other packages. Something like Homestead got introduced as a huge thing, but got relatively quickly replaced with Sail and Valet it kind of seems. (Yes, they have a bit different corners, but I would say it doesn't justify a complete package) For authentication you have multiple packages that were introduced as the holy grail but now sit in an awkward spot with each other, and similar for frontend things packages.

Another small frustration for me is all the huge adjectives being used:
- "Laravel Horizon provides a beautiful dashboard ... "

- "Laravel Jetstream is a beautifully designed application... "

- "Laravel Octane supercharges your application's performance..."

- "Laravel Prompts is a PHP package for adding beautiful and user-friendly forms ... "

- "Laravel Reverb brings blazing-fast and scalable real-time WebSocket ..."

- "Laravel Sanctum provides a featherweight authentication system ... "

- "Laravel Telescope makes a wonderful companion ..."

- "In other words, Valet is a blazing fast Laravel development environment ..."

I think it would we wise to do a bit of a cleanup and merging of official packages, and to not forget about the core framework. I think Symfony shows you can still do great additions even after many years like Targeted Value Resolvers [0]

You can see all the official packages clicking the "Ecosystem" button in the header of laravel.com

You call blaze side janky and ad-hoc but to me (as complete outsider) using monorepo+build tool seems more principled and working more with fundamentals, while nix feels more ad-hoc and trying to fix stuff post-facto.

> And bazel projects will continue to grow in that direction because until you have control of the whole dependency stack (down to the kernel), you're going to struggle to get robust reproducibility.

This is bit weird statement, considering that it's not where bazel is growing to, but where bazel is growing from. The whole starting point for bazel is having full control (via monorepo) of the dependency stack
> FM synth on PC sound cards, IMO, sounded pretty awful.

There is something to it. Someone has to identify the intersection between what the engineering can do and what the market actually wants, then articulate that to a broad enough audience. Engineers constantly undervalue this very fuzzy and very human centric part of the work.

I don't think the issue is that Vision doesn't matter. I think the issue is Sam doesn't have it. Like Gates and Jobs had clear, well defined visions for how the PC was going to change the world, then rallied engineering talent around them and turned those into reality, that's how their billions and those lasting empires were born. Maybe someone like Elon Musk is a contemporary example. Just don't see anything like that from SamA, we see him in the media, talking a lot about AI, rubbing shoulders with power brokers, being cutthroat, but where's the vision of a better future? And if he comes up with one does he really understand the engineering well enough to ground it in reality?
From the US response, there's this quote:

The article is about domestic horses, not about their extinct ancestors. The article says that previously the Mongolian breed were believed to be the last truly wild, undomesticated horses (predating domestication 5.5k years ago). Now they believe that they in fact are descendants of domestic horses. Making all living horses descendants of domesticated horses. But yes, the wild horses the Botai domesticated evolved in the Americas.
Yes, I'm far too young. It's not like I carry the name of my uncle who died in one, or that some of my earliest memories are about sleeping in a bomb shelter, or that I now live in a city that was completely under siege not that long ago.

Its the one thing that really needs to be true. I've met many entrepreneurs and although chaos is usually something that impedes a company it's not always true. I know people with decades old multi million dollar profit companies and you see behind the curtain and its literally a mess. I know companies that do zero advertisement and are doing year over year growth. I see companies that are extremely unfriendly to their customers but deliver a product that they cant get somewhere else... The only real thing that connects all these companies is that they are selling something people want.
I am not defending this specific metaphor as I am not sure it is really good in this case. But they are right about this specific property of spheres: they have the highest volume/surface ratio (i.e. that’s the way of minimising the surface area of the enveloppe for a given volume).
Very impressive.

The only thing that looks a bit bad is that the models produced need to be fixed before being able to be sliced.
To each their own. I personally didn't get Scarlett Johansson vibes from the voice on the GPT-4o demo (https://openai.com/index/hello-gpt-4o/) even though I'm a huge fan of hers (loved Her, loved Jojo Rabbit, even loved Lucy, and many many others) and have watched those and others multiple times. I'd even say I have a bit of a celebrity crush.

To me it's about as close to her voice as saying "It's a woman's voice". Not to say all women sound alike but the sound I heard from that video above could maybe best be described and "generic peppy female American spokesperson voice"

Even listening to it now with the suggestion that it might sound like her I don't personally hear Scarlett Johansson's voice from the demo.

There may be some damming proof where they find they sampled her specifically but saying they negotiated and didn't come to an agreement is not proof that it's supposed to be her voice. Again, to me it just sounds like a generic voice. I've used the the version before GPT-4o and I never got the vibe it was Scarlett Johansson.

I did get the "Her" vibe but only because I was talking to a computer with a female voice and it was easy to imagine that something like "Her" was in the near future. I also imagined or wished that it was Majel Barrett from ST:TNG, if only because the computer on ST:TNG gave short and useful answers where as ChatGPT always gives long-winded repetitive annoying answers

But don't you think the same holds true for every other web framework and related packages?
Even there, it would help to not apply the zero numerator equivalence class too early.

I.e. 2/3, 2/5, 2/7 are the numbers that divide 2 to get 3, 5 and 7 respectively.

Likewise, with full consistency, 0/1, 0/2, 0/3 cannot be reduced using common factors (the core equivalence for ratios), so have different ratio normal forms, and are the numbers that when they divide 0 produce 1, 2, and 3 respectively. All consistently.

The advantage of not applying zero numerator equivalence too early, is that you get reversibility, associativity and commutivity consistency in intermediate calculations even when zeros appear in ratios.

You can still apply zero numerator ratio equivalence to final values, but avoid a lot of reordering of intermediate calculations required to avoid errors if you had applied it earlier.

Of course, if you are coding it doesn't help that you are unlikely to find any numerical libraries, functions or numeric data types, that don't assume division by zero is an error, inf, or NaN, and that all zeros divided by non-zero numbers are equivalent to 0. So you simply can't get the benefits of holding off on that equivalence.

You have to do a lot of reasoning and reordering to ensure generally correct results, as apposed to "I am sure it will be fine" results.

I find it very surprising that this separate treatment of factor reduced equivalence, and zero numerator (and zero denominator) equivalences, on ratios, is not taught more explicitly. They are very different kinds of equivalence, with very different impacts on calculation paths.
It’s wild to me that there are people who think that OpenAI are the underdog. A 80Bn Microsoft vassal, what a plucky upstart.

> That's an interesting statement, as it heavily contrasts with my personal experience.

The key take here is that it's a personal experience - for the both of us. I'm confident that it works for some, the same way as PHP doesn't work for everybody.

> The only (and major) drawback was having to deal with JavaScript frameworks which required tsconfig.json/webpack voodoo to work at all, let alone with TypeScript, but once the project was sorted out everything was a pleasure.

I guess this is a great transition to your question...

> Can you point out the single most egregious thing you experienced with TypeScript?

The _most_ egregious thing? I would definitely say the community behind it. While I've worked with other languages as well (Kotlin, Dart, Python), the community behind NodeJS/TypeScript is the single most fragmented and toxic environment I've ever experienced.

It seems to have no common direction whether it comes to dependency managers, coding styles, transpilers, bundlers or much about any other “best practice” paradigms. And this also something that is pestering packages and the maintainers. Often, it looks more like a contest on who can make the most complex solution to simple problems as well. I don’t experience this vast amount of fragmentation in PHP, Python, Kotlin or Dart. Whenever you reach out to the community, you’re rarely met with more opinions than you have fingers and toes; sure - not all agree on everything, but there’s more often than not, a sense of consensus on what a common approach to any given problem could be.
> It has to happen in a place where the ICC has jurisdiction.

Oh, convenient.

> Palestine has ratified the Rome Statue

There has not been a political entity called Palestine since the Rome statue was enacted. I believe that you are referring to The Palestinian Authority, the distinction is in fact important here in a conflict where words are often deliberately misapplied and misused in order to direct a narrative.

In any case, The Palestinian Authority does not rule the Gaza strip. Then were overthrown in a very bloody coup, 2005 or 2006, in which Hamas threw some 100 PA members off the top of the buildings.

EE has depth? Then why is AoE2 played competitevly and noone plays EE?

AoE2 has a lot of micro depth:

- each arrow is a projectile that you can dodge
- ballistics helps to hit moving targets, still can be dodged by good players

The list goes on. Watch any modern caster for this game (MembTV or T90). There is a lot to enjoy.

What I dislike about Microsoft+AoE is the fact that they publish DLCs with less and less content for huge prices. And AoE mobile is obviously a joke.
