Android phones are not tied to Google.

You can have alternative app stores, you can download torrents on it and then play them with VLC, you can have the actual Firefox browser and even Chrome clones (e.g., Brave) are more capable than iOS Safari web views. You can have an email client that works locally (K-9 Mail). Android has had usable PWA support for years. The most popular chat app, WhatsApp, is not Google's app. Samsung phones don't even push people into many of Google's apps, shipping with Samsung's own launcher, Calendar, Notes, Camera, Gallery, etc., and it even has their own apps store in addition to Google Play. And AOSP, the open-source distribution, is actually usable even without Google's Play Services, which has spawned distributions such as LineageOS breathing life into old devices.

I'm an Android user, and except for the Play App Store and Google Maps, I don't use any other apps from Google and that hasn't happened due to some attempt for "degoogling". Even the app that syncs my CalDAV/CardDAV accounts is not developed by Google (on Android this isn't native, but that's completely fine).

I don't understand why many iPhone users resort to such mental gymnastics to justify an expensive device that's being rented from Apple.

And yes, as an app developer, you want Android users because Android (and its allies, like WhatsApp) are actually winning in the marketplace. Providing clients for all people is how WhatsApp came to dominate the landscape. This is why Apple is so reluctant to give up on their nefarious practices related to their App Store or the restrictions they place on developers, continuously trying to undermine the EU's DMA because they know they only have a short window during which they can milk the user base.

Julia is kind of Dylan's revenge, even if it doesn't take over the whole world, it is already great if it gets its own corner, and from the looks of it that is going alright.
I mean, it can't have hurt, but Linus started programming long before he started university, and I assume he had no access before he started so odds are he had the interest already. It might have eased access to some material he needed, but you slower connections weren't a huge limitation back then either.

Sure, in the same sense that editors and compilers mean you need way less devs.

I've always sort of thought you need some life experience for history class to really teach you well.

Honestly, I've kind of wondered why there isn't a real university for people older than 20 you could return to for decent classes on things like history, or woodworking, or health management, or exercise. Like continuing education but university level.
if you want to fuel an airliner with hydrogen, it might be possible, but you'd have to kick most passengers off to make place for the hydrogen
I have a Toyota Mirai. The cheapest hydrogen available to me is $30/kg, and many stations (those owned by True Zero) charge $36/kg. When I bought my Mirai, it was $19.70/kg.

The reason I bought a Mirai is because I wanted to go zero-emissions but I’m an apartment dweller with no EV charging options. The Mirai is the best vehicle I’ve driven in terms of its features and comfort. However, once my fuel card ran low, I ended up getting a gas-powered car since $36/kg is prohibitively expensive for me to pay out of pocket.

I hope the hydrogen situation improves, since not everybody has convenient access to an EV charger, not to mention the cost of electricity in PG&E territory.
The lenovo video shows you everything except how it works. It's the one I watched to come up with "isn't this just sliding doors without Gwyneth Paltrow?"

Not that I want to absolve him, but Musk genuinely doesn't know what he's doing. Him pretending to play Path of Exile 2 was so very bad... like he's just talking, has no clue and nobody around him who would dare to bring that up. It's the weirdest thing to try to lie about, too.

I'm not sure if you're trolling or not here, so this is the genuine answer to your question.

Peer-reviewed, published research does not support any kind of link between vaccines and autism: not a link by correlation, not a link by cause.

There was a paper a long time ago where the guy who wrote it committed fraud to get published. This paper, which was founded on lies, did claim a link, and did so in a highly influential medical journal - so a lot of people paid attention to what the article said, even though its claims were never true. Retraction is a very definitive way to signal to scientists not to pay attention to a particular paper.

Problem is, the retraction took more than 10 years, and in those years the internet was becoming social and available to everyone. So there was kind of a perfect storm of misinformation propagation about this particular topic.

Fact remains: many many studies have re-examined the possibility of link between vaccines and autism and there just isn't one.
Does that mean that in this UTF-8 mode, GetCommandLineA would, when the full-width double quote occurs in the command line, return the UTF-8 bytes for that double quote, rather than steamrolling it to an ASCII double quote with the WorstFit mapping?
For profit companies, especially facebook will just follow whatever is popular at the time, they have no morality at all. They had no morality when treating people like absolute shit under oppressive moderation and censoring people like crazy and they will have no morality while ignoring abuses on the platform while using current politics as an excuse to spend less on moderation.

The EFF however is at least supposed to stand for basic human rights. Like free speech. At least it got a mention in the title, but frankly the author of this article doesn't care at all about it, and doesn't understand the basic principle of why it's important to protect the speech of people they disagree with. So taking a plain view, they're a hateful anti-human rights activist. Not sure why i'd listen to what an anti human rights activist has to say.

It's not even about having to write SQL by hand. In an ORM like Django that's exceedingly rare. But you still need to understand what's going on underneath. In other words, it's the most leaky abstraction there is. I think the popularity is mostly aesthetic and convenience. Most people into ORMs like Django don't really know about layered architecture and that you can keep all your SQL in one place in the data access layer. They just scatter that stuff everywhere in the codebase.
The Lenovo video literally shows you a working device from the floor of CES. By how it works do you mean instead... (a) where the excess is stored, (b) how it's rolled, (c) what the (surely quite valuable) IP is?

Great search. I use the summarizer all the time, and even occasionally use the small web. It's better than StumbleUpon. I really like Orion's site for bug reports and feature requests. I'm impressed by such a small team taking on browsers!
It’s more in the line of Robocop but I could imagine a dystopian reality TV show where the show clips from people’s unguarded cameras.

They're using weakened viruses. Virus use in cancer is nothing new, but an interesting field. I can see why pharma hesitates using it, viruses can mutate, too, similar to cancer.

Why would you consider the employee-only area? For that categorization to exist it must mean it's either unreliable for customers or too expensive cause there's too much human drivers on the loop. Either way it would not be considered as an area served by self driving, imo.
I'm not sure that I like choice to generate decoder code instead of introducing a macro system that can be used to generate the code behind the scenes.

Consider what would happen if you have a larger json object you want to decode (which is often the case). This would require a substantial amount of code that you later would have to read through (being vary of minor changes).

In contrast to Rust's approach where you just have a few notations you can quickly scan through and identify anything unusual.

This is honestly a major turnoff for me with Gleam and doesn't make me want to use the language for anything where I need to handle json (despite all the other things I appreciate about the language).
Actually it is my favourite stored procedured programming language, nothing else comes close to it in capabilities, or tooling.

Transact SQL is a close second, thanks to the tooling, but not as great as language, still better than the alternatives.

pgSQL has the plus of being similar to PL/SQL, but it is neither as feature rich, nor in tooling.

Everything else is even worse.
> Is there a level of consciousness prior to language that willfully assembles the next word out of more subtle mind stuff? There would be an infinite regress here.

What? No, it's not infinite. Thoughts are more fundamental than language, you can absolutely have a thought and then struggle to express it in language (indeed this is a pretty common experience). For an experienced writer or speaker the translation from thought to language may be so smooth as to almost disappear (to the point they may not even be conscious of it), but it's still happening.

Syncthing is the answer
Honestly, I like that kind of functionality. But you don't need AI for that. There are websites that have been doing this for years.
Windows has a way of opting out of legacy behavior since Windows XP - manifest files. If you don't include a manifest, even GetWindowsVersion will not return the current version IIRC. It should be not too hard to add an opt-out in there (and at some point make it default in Visual Studio).

I think what is also needed is some kind of linting - there is usually no need to call ANSI WinAPI functions in a modern application (unless you set the locale to UTF-8 and only use the 8-bit functions, but I don't know how well that works). I think there are also a couple of settings and headers to include to make everything "just work" - meaning argv, printf and std::cout work with UTF-8, you get no strange conversions, and you just have functions to convert between UTF-8 and UTF-16 to use WinAPI. I'm pretty sure I have a Visual Studio project lying around somewhere where it works. But all those steps necessary need to be documented and put in one place by MS.
Also not the Helm soft synth.
They are all different though, depending on the hardware. Microsoft's BASIC on the C64 and on the mac and on all other platforms were different enough to count as different dialects, certainly more than just different implementations.

Edit: And the wikipedia page clusters them nicely in a separate group, what more could you ask for.

The general idea is that social media platforms especially at the scale of twitter and facebook are not private parties but public squares, in which free speech must be protected. I think this is obviously true, but there is of course the question of how exactly to draw the line between a large public square and a small private platform. There are many good possible answers.

It could be delimited by user count, by moderation style, by liability accepted (section 230 is frequently brought up as an option). In any case, if you think a billion user platform is a private party, you are plainly wrong.

It's a bit telling that you think a a 6 panel comic is "covering it in detail". If you want an even more simplified version of how this can go, free speech is a human right, and given that you're against free speech we can limit yours and make everyone happy. I'm more than happy to let people play by their own rules in this case.

> I wonder if it has to do with how memory becomes bigger more than it becomes faster

No. It is the software. Just look at Windows: Windows 10 and 11 has a third of functionality of 7 being 10 times bigger. What 10 years ago needed a mouse click, it needs 3 today. Software must communicate with the mothership so that mothership can see which functions are not used and remove them, making the program useless.
And security: it just got more layers. Which, most of the time are useless and easy to bypass.
Growing up, I was tech support for family and friends of family and also my own friends. I eventually worked as a PC technician for a few years and now work as a software developer. I have a very keen eye for how bad UI/UX is for most devices, computers and software because of it and it's been a huge help in my work in the same way, but it's also been quite infuriating when I see decisions being made that prioritize KPIs like sale and click through rates that intentionally make the UX worse.

There is enough programming language drama going on still, we only got a change of the main characters.

I'm glad to see typography getting some attention again. For a while it seemed every film was either using a previously-existing brand logo (any superhero film, for instance), or used some Roman serif typeface—usually Trajan.

That Nosferatu is just superb. I want to watch the film just for the title typeface, let alone other recommendations for it, especially one that says it does cosmic horror very well.

There's at least one huge respect in which tech is different, at least in the USA: worker compensation.

In the book, Tracy Kidder writes repeatedly about how Data General (the company at the heart of the book) is proud of its austerity. It doesn't pay well. It's proud of having an ugly, austere, warehouse-like building. It puts its critical engineers in the windowless basement of this building. Kidder is describing a world that's very far from the FAANG of today, at least were compensation is concerned.
I think odoo is doing something like this. They offer a lot of different apps, from e commerce to project planning, to marketing to HR. But it’s priced per user.
Love that compilers are also listed.

Original BASIC was compiled, sometimes I wonder if those 8 bit machines also had compilers available, how that would have impacted the use of BASIC, versus the BASIC vs Assembly duality of the time.
Why do you think most engineers would understand users particularly well? From my experience, they're the worst at empathising with users, understanding user pain points and the value of a good UX.

>Individually owned cars can go underground onto a pallet and be whisked underground to another location in a city at more than 100mph.

I'm curious where this idea even came from, not sure who the customer would be, it's a little disappointing he doesn't mention mag-lev trains in a discussion about future rapid transit. I'd much rather ride a smooth mag-lev across town than an underground pallet system.
Thank you for the recommendation. Jake Seliger's insights on clinical trials have been incredibly helpful for many. His contributions will certainly continue to guide and inspire others. May he rest in peace.

Does that work if you have multiple caregivers? Even seeing a doctor, and then getting a scan can involve multiple entities.
It seems there's some misunderstanding here. The paper doesn't claim to have solved the issue but highlights areas requiring further research, particularly controlled clinical trials to confirm the effects. Intermittent fasting is indeed a complex and debated topic, as preclinical findings often don't translate directly into clinical practice.

I appreciate that you've spoken to oncologists and cancer nutritionists—real-world expertise is invaluable in discussions like this. Could you share any insights or perspectives they provided? It could help clarify and enrich the conversation for everyone.https://pakrozee.pk/
