That's so subjective. I've wasted hours in Apple forums, writing bug reports just to get ignored, and had so much pain using Mac for over a year as developing machine ... Things I would have solved with Linux with a single IRC visit or by examining the relevant code.

Ex. I've lost a complete day because I didn't know you need to open xcode to confirm the policy of an update I did in the console. I never used xcode before that day.
There is no need to break your concentration.

British people do what their media tells them to do. The BBC did nothing but raise an eyebrow or two at all the misdeeds perpetrated by the Tories. Labour in comparison gets a full on beating for every slight misdeameanor.

With GB news now becoming a normalised household mouthpiece, this will only get worse.
Some variation of “don’t take him literally, you silly goose, but take him seriously” is basically what the portion of my family who voted for him (i.e., most of them) have told me over the years.

This time, I’ll take him at his better-educated, clearer-thinking allies’ words, and prepare for the worst of what they publicly dream of while still hoping for better.

Every single time (some 4 times in my past life) when I’m familiar with/close to the background story of something that played out in the news I come to the same conclusion: news doesn’t report the facts. I’m in Western Europe, btw. I advise to run this experiment yourself.
It’s a good point. I briefly looked at their GUI and it’s very tied to the Apple Notes surface. It’s a good way to provide real time transcription to the masses, but their UX and speed leaves a lot to be desired.

Why do we have so many custom notes app when we can just use Apple Notes?
The RP2040 can be convinced to bit-bang Ethernet (yes even 100Mb/s) with only a transceiver. Part of the trick is to modify the common PHY + MagJack breakout boards to let the RP2040 generate the clock signal so that the signals are in sync and you don't have to oversample the RMII.

Just 10Mb/s can be done even dirtier. I'm still waiting for someone to combine an RP2040 with DVI/HDMI video output and Ethernet into a "modern" glass terminal (just telnet, SSH is probably asking too much).

Basic system tools have been broken on macs for a few major releases now. And I'm familiar with fixing up lots of Darwin-specific issues in software packaging by now. There's seriously a number of downsides here unless you have to use Xcode.

I wrote digital audio system for a reason. Pipewire is currently the best implementation out of the 3 major systems. Whether you want to use it with a DAW or in a different way that requires a Mac-only application is orthogonal here. For a lot of DAW work, you don't even need a fancy sound system to begin with. But also there are DAWs which do work on Linux and there are people preferring them.

My only preference is not to have to think about whitespace etc. I guess others who feel differently certainly wouldn't like Go, and that's ok!
I think the using statements are fine, even for one-file demos. Python, Go and Node don't have implicit imports like C# and it's fine. I'm actually not entirely sold on the implicitness. Forces the reader to look at the .csproj file and the target framework documentation what is implicitly imported.

Most of the verbosity comes from classes and namespaces. Go and Rust have shown it's possible to design a language for "programming in the large" without classes for everything and with less verbose namespaces.

But to be fair, I'm just getting started with C# so my comment above is likely wrong and biased. Happy to be proven wrong :)

"duties" continues it's downward spiral into oblivion
No your concerns are valid, its just that you clearly don't know what life is like in America for the have-nots. You see rich people on social media, in movies and TV. You think it would just be a bit harder than how you have it now. You don't even think about what it would be like to be unemployed; an American is deathly afraid of losing their job. That means they won't be able to pay rent, they won't be able to see a doctor, they won't be able to afford to eat. There's a social safety net, sure, it's just not a very good one. Lot's of people die in America all the time of preventable causes, many who would be in your position, just because they didn't "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" or whatever.

No, look, Europe is almost caste-based in how rigid the social hierarchies have become due to the immensity of the social-welfare programs. They'll keep you alive and comfortable but you'll never have the autonomy of the ultra-wealthy who galavant around Vienna and drive fancy cars and fly all over the world. Let me tell you something: its better to have good public education, good public healthcare, and good public infrastructure than to drive a fancy car. Still, you feel like you're not truly free, because you aren't really. But Americans aren't more free than you either, even if they appear to you to be. You're just looking in the wrong place for your freedom.

Very cool to see there's still love for this era of computing. I still have a 486 set up, with Windows 3.11. I sometimes play minesweeper on it, or play around with Borland C++.
I don't think that's true anymore.

I install Linux on families computers for years now. And maintaining is zero at this point. The majority of computer usage of a normal user is within their browser and maybe office programs and some gaming. All perfectly fine with Linux.
2.1 is mainly updating 2.0 with various later RFCs and usage recommendations, many of them are not drafts. And some document used e.g. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-oauth-secur... are technically a draft but practically a "life" document constantly kept up to date

So while technically 2.1 is a draft, practically not following it means not following best practices of today so while you don't have to meet it fully if you care about security you really should use it as strict/strong recommendations. At least _longterm_ not doing so could be seen as negligence for high(er) security applications.

The most important changes are listed here https://oauth.net/2.1/
> Well, your explanation doesn't really tell why do I call .deinit() on a structure before alllocator() call and calling all the rest important stuff on a structure after such call.

That's because the Allocator interface doesn't define that an allocator must be deinitable (see in the link above the fn pointers held by the vtable field). So just like you have to call flush() on a BufferedWriter implementation (because the Writer interface doesn't define that writers must be flushable), you have to call deinit on the implementation and not through the interface.

Fun fact, not all allocators are deinitable. For example std.heap.c_allocator is an interface to libc's malloc, and that allocator, while usable from Zig, doesn't have a concept of deiniting. Similarly, std.heap.page_allocator (mmap /virtualalloc) doesn't have any deinit because it's stateless (i.e. the kernel holds the state).

"And why is this maniac putting everything into the browser that does not belong there? Is the reason putting there is just to have it there?"

Haha, relax a bit. If it wasn't a browser application i wouldn't have tried it at all (most people here would not have either). I see it more of a toy than a development environment - but the fact that it seems fully functional and in the browser is impressive to me.

Anyways, 99.99% anyone using VB6 today is doing it for nostalgic purposes, not to develop real useful code - and that's probably what the project had in mind. Just a fun project.

If you did want an accurate no-changes recreation of vb6 on the desktop, just download the original vb6.

I’m using Whisper medium.en. I’ll check out Turbo, thanks! Looks like it’s released last month. My solution is pretty model agnostic. If Turbo is indeed as fast as they advertised with lower WER than small.en, then it will supercharge my solution as well (it’s already pretty fast and accurate).

If you let the user arrange their icons in the preferred shape, for each screen resolution they use, and save that, the problem is solved. As the article describes.

The bug described in the article was the icons being moved around without user input, and then their wrong/unwanted location saved as "user preferred icon arrangement". Which sounds like an obvious bug in hindsight.
It probably wasn't even a conscious decision. It's easy to imagine a young parent on 2 hours of sleep operating on autopilot and remembering incorrectly that the URL was "wicked.com". Or perhaps they just lost a parent and can't focus properly.

I absolutely downvoted to moderate - the post had nothing to do with the article on hand. It's much more appropriate for an Ask HN post.

It's really tiring to see these "Oh this language sucks" posts under articles that discuss details and techniques in languages - it added nothing useful to the conversation, especially since it was framed as a personal preference. Who cares that you don't care about Java?
> Your initial post in this thread naturally raises the question of whether or not anti-sodomy laws in the US should be enforced.

It did ask why the law wouldn't want to enforced? In other words, why would Americans have laws if they don't actually want them? I'm not of that country, so I am interested to learn about the culture. Amid the diatribe, I do think you eventually gave a reasonable answer to the question, for what it is worth.

> I think it's perfectly fair to ask you whether or not that's your position.

Again, I am not American, so I'm not sure it would be reasonable for me to even have a position. I don't have the necessary context. I did note that in a democracy the people get to choose what they want for themselves. But that is said simply as the generally accepted definition of democracy, like the sky is generally accepted as being blue.

But, even if I were American and for some reason had a position, why would I share? Let's say, for the sake of discussion, I really do believe that people shouldn't be up in the middle of the night to see the dark sky. Why would I tell you that? It would be in bad faith to subject you to it.

If relevant, I might share the fact that the sky is blue, and if based on that you also come to the conclusion that people shouldn't see the dark sky, cool, but that's for you to decide based on the known state of the world, not some evangelical nonsense sputtering out of me. There is no logical place for that.
You are using them wrongly, almost certainly because you don't understand how they work and are installing them in the wrong locations. They work best in small rooms, usually you'd either have a number of them to cover the whole house/apartment or only keep them in "cool" rooms where you'd go specifically to cool down, like your bedroom.

Secondly, AC units do not create a vacuum. Even if they did, houses are not air tight spaces, there are gaps underneath your door and cracks in your window, almost certainly there are cracks in the cover for the window. AC units work by circulating air through a condenser that sucks the heat out and moves it outdoors, that's why the back is constantly dripping water: its accumulating moisture from the outside air, since the back of the unit is just a giant heat sink.

As for the noise, nothing you can do about that. Most Americans are used to it and find it comforting since summer nights in the US can get very hot and these units are often run through the night to help people keep cool while they sleep, often from the youngest age. If you didn't grow up with them then you're probably going to hate it either way.

Have they shifted the definition that much, or is there something they’re not telling? My impression is that, based on traditional definitions, no one has the foggiest notion of where to head to achieve it. And if he’s suggesting that “creative use of existing models” is a path to AGI… wow, that’s gotta be a useless definition of AGI.

exactly how i did it as well! But it was a pirated copy of visual studio (6?) and it came in 6 CDs. I had no idea what it actually was, and just installed it and played around.

I'm so glad that i bought those pirated CDs off the street - it was a huge stack of disks for like $50 bucks, and it included a bunch of pirated games, pirated encyclopedia (brittanica at the time iirc), various music software (cakewalk pro, not that i ever used it).

There would not have been a chance in hell i'd discover these things by myself.
note that if you want to play with writing your own network stack on linux, you can use `socket(AF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, htons(ETH_P_ALL))` and operate on not too dissimilar level of abstraction as this is.

SOCK_RAW packets are passed to and from the device driver without
any changes in the packet data. When receiving a packet, the
address is still parsed and passed in a standard sockaddr_ll
address structure. When transmitting a packet, the user-supplied
buffer should contain the physical-layer header. That packet is
then queued unmodified to the network driver of the interface
defined by the destination address.

First off, that's a really, really short road to hell you're paving there.

Second, JFC, we're not even talking about hard drugs or motorcycles here. At scale the "cost" of phones are likely a rounding error compared to stuff everyone agrees is bad or high risk. If that is worthy of intervention on behalf of the insurers then you might as well give up any hope of day to day autonomy because surely every other decision is worthy of intervention too.
