Swift still lacks some concurrency features, even with Swift 6, but it's nice to see that atomic operations have finally been added. Besides that, I often encounter an error without knowing why: 'Failed to produce diagnostic for expression; please submit a bug report.'
It was the same situation for Spain. Its rise as a naval superpower in the 15th and 16th centuries came at a high environmental cost too. To build its fleet, including those iconic Spanish galleons, Spain logged high amounts of oak and pine, especially from northern regions like Cantabria and the Basque Country.

As ship production ramped up, there were growing concerns about resource depletion. To the point that by the late 16th century, Spain was forced to start importing timber from its colonies to keep up with demand.

I recall hearing these accusations two decades ago about Google and particularly Google Books.

If this is thieving, to me it's as if Robin Hood came to town.
Every time systemd comes up everyone says it's great and how much better it is than SysVinit. No one EVER talks about the actual alternatives that people use like OpenRC, runit, s6.

I run a small web server for a dataset we call the "BIGFAM" - Geneweb with a proxy on the front. It has >120,000 individuals in it. In places it is not so much a tree as a thicket!

That data is hard fought and won by a relative who conducts meticulous research as a hobby. They've been at it for a good 20 odd years now.
Because it’s a wrapper on a closed-source system.

Imagine writing a shell script that cuts and converts video by calling ffmpeg, would you say it was “a video converter written in bash”? No, the important part would not be in bash, that’s just the thin wrapper used to call the tool and could be in any language. Meaning it would be useless to anyone who e.g. worked on a constrained system where they are not allowed to install any binaries.

Same thing here. If you only run open-source software for privacy reasons, sending all your program data to some closed server you don’t control doesn’t address your issue. There’s no meaningful difference between making an open-source plugin that calls an OpenAI API and one that calls a Grammarly API.
I’m still not very sure of where the paradox is supposed to be for the materialist. Is the paradox supposed to be something like that the materialist accepts that consciousness is material, and that mathematical structures are not material?

Nelson Mandela had a famous quote about the power of speaking someone's native language:

"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart."

The idea here is pretty straightforward: speaking to someone in a language they merely understand reaches them intellectually, but speaking in their mother tongue resonates on a deeper, emotional level. You can imagine now why songs in Hungarian resonate more to you than the ones in English.

Because the participants could very easily spread it to other people. This wouldn’t just affect them. That’s why the trial was ultimately required to take place under quarantine.

It’s not even a question of whether it would spread, but whether it might spread. There’s a reasonable chance that this bacterium would, in fact, spread, and nobody has proven otherwise.

The FDA is doing its job here: it’s protecting the masses from people who believe they’re just consenting for themselves.

The context clearly explains what OP means. The meaning is that "This is not something that is achieved via simply hacking a normal device remotely. This is something that is achieved via doing something extra to the device first, and maybe then hacking it remotely."

Another thing is that if we begin to use "hack" for every means of attack and unauthorized access, then the word loses its meaning. There is no supply chain hack, but there is a supply chain attack.

> We are thus left with a product, Lumina, that cannot guarantee the prevention of future caries

"Guarantees" are not strictly needed. What matters most is whether there is a substantial reduction of future caries, not whether it makes you totally immune to it.

Say, if Lumina/BCS3-L1 "only" reduces cavities by 50%, it is already half as good (arguably) as a drug which prevented 100%. This would already be large progress for such a massive global problem. The article author does not seem to recognize the potential of such a drug.
There is no comprehensive information yet on the ratio of civilians to militants maimed by this attack, and any claims otherwise are propaganda. If an enemy had exploded small remote controlled bombs in American supermarkets and homes there is no question we would characterize it as a terrorist attack.

This is perfectly normal. I also ask candidates things I don't expect them to be able to answer, I need to see if they will be honest about it or if they will start bullshitting their way around the issue or outright lie.

It's OK to not know something, and it's very valuable (to me) if you are open about it.
You can apply the same complaint to Java and .NET ecosystems, both doing quite well, despite not everything being open source, or being managed by entities that FOSS folks rather not deal with.

> Key features: - Uses your OpenAI API key (100% local)

Sorry, but we have a fundamental disagreement on terms here. Sending requests to OpenAI is not 100% local.

The OpenAI API is not free or open source. By your definition, if you used the Grammarly API for this extension it would be a 100% local, open source alternative to Grammarly too.

Philips spun off both NXP and ASML years ago, so all their relevancy in chip manufacturing disappeared and went to both companies. Same happened with LED manufacturing, going to Signify NV.

You could argue education is wholly about the transfer of knowledge, but research isn't. The fundamental difference between research and education is the discovery of new knowledge. You can be educated without doing research, and you need an education to do research, but without this discovery of new knowledge you are not doing research. You can also do research without communicating the results, just like you can write a book without publishing it.

We Switched from Cypress to Playwright
Until early 2024, Cypress used to be the most downloaded end-to-end (e2e) testing framework in JavaScript. Since then, it has seen a steep decline in popularity and Playwright has overtaken it as the most downloaded end-to-end testing framework.

We at BigBinary also switched from Cypress to Playwright in late 2023. In this article, we will see some critical reasons for this change in trends and our personal views on why we think Playwright is the superior JavaScript testing framework.

ASML's success is partly (gross simplification) because it was the biggest local tech company (Philips) realising that they're too big to be effective, so they made a startup-esque new company which allowed them to be lean and engineering-focused. It's a good story of proper accounting allowing good company structures to persist inside of a bloated company.

Okay its not just about the puzzles, I built it primarily for the game review that chess.com charges money for. And with the use of stockfish I've tried to make the UI more user friendly especially for beginners who want to study openings and just spend time looking at a chessboard making moves and seeing what is the best move for each position plus its easily accessible for a newcomer. By contrast, in lichess you have to go through the learn page and "find" the study page while in ChessDream you just go to the page and start making moves. I'm not saying my site is better than Lichess; I'm just proposing my opinions about how ChessDream might be helpful for people that are willing to learn chess.

> Some of the initial footage shows such a device going off while innocent bystanders remain unharmed.

This is anecdotal and misleading. There are reports of civilians maimed including the murder of a child. This is entirely plausible due to the indiscriminate nature of these bombs with respect to immediate bystanders.

If an enemy had set off thousands of small bombs in American supermarkets and homes, maiming thousands of whoever was nearby and killing children, we would undoubtedly call it a mass terrorist attack.
I'm very surprised that there haven't been any very bloody mass revolts yet in countries with work culture like this.

I wonder if there are any leaked Win95 betas that can show the different approaches. I can imagine that a static bitmap would've been much faster and less memory intensive, something quite important when you're targeting computers with 8MB of RAM.
Depends. China's obsession with Taiwan is a mix of domestic signaling and posturing internationally and the latter is mostly aimed at the US.
China could choose to be more aggressive over Taiwan, as the US should care less.
But, since the US care less about Taiwan, perhaps China will turn its saber rattling to other strategic interests of the US, giving the Taiwanese some reprieve.

The only purpose of software is automation, which is elimination of labor. Eliminating labor reduces expenses. While that is certainly valuable as it contributes toward profit it is not sales. Sales make money.

As a general rule profit is 10% of revenue and revenue is 10% of sales. Sales are the money paid by outside parties. Revenue is money left over after spending associated with sale acquisitions, for example after: marketing, merchandising, and advertising. Profit is money left over after accounting for internal expenses.

As such software never directly contributes toward sales unless software is a product directly sold to an outside party. The developers responsible for that software are virtually never responsible for sales generation even when that software product is directly sold to outside parties. The exception occurs when developers introduce a solution to a business problem into that software product and that solution becomes a direct point of merchandising.

As for the current capabilities of AI the LLM approach does not seem capable of writing original software. Most full stack developers are not writing original software though. The LLMs are already writing superior output with use of large frameworks to the extent that they can generate more efficient products and write the documentation sufficient to teach humans the approach to these large frameworks. Whether you should be worried then becomes a consideration of your employer’s perception of software authorship.

Many people fail to see this because they have an intact moral core. Conducting a military operation that has a fully predictable rate of civilian casualties is morally equivalent to targeting those civilians.
