A CSS issue is not going to break any site unless it causes interactive elements to overlap or be hidden from view. Most sites do not implement bleeding-edge features for this reason. Those that want to set it up will do it in such a way that there's a fallback for browsers that don't support that function.

Better profilers (Superluminal). Better debuggers (Visual Studio).

Linux package managers are an abomination and a failed model. As evidenced by Docker being required both to reliable build and reliably run modern software.

glibc is an abomination of bad design ideas from the 80s. Compilers relying on whatever random ass version of a .so you have is broken AF. The fact that you can’t target an arbitrarily version of glibc or runtime environment is an embarrassment.

Once upon a time I shipped a popular-ish game with Linux support. 1% of Linux users represented 50% of bug reports. And no it’s not because Linux players were more reliable at reporting Linux issues. It has been a few years, but supporting more than SteamDeck is likely similar. At least for non-proton builds.
Did they say why yet?
Yep - overflow: scroll rather than overflow: auto. I've seen Google fall foul of this
I wonder how much of that is due to, er, negative incentives: "Do us a favor, and we'll give you some money, but more importantly we won't anybody about the other favors you've been doing for us and money you've got stashed away. For now."

That's why background-checks are so important: Properly done, it's not about finding virtuous employees at all, but just ensuring there's no blackmail material that an enemy could use to open up that cascade of ever-growing favors that become blackmail for the next favor.
There’s even a part at the beginning of Lawrence of Arabia film where he puts out a match with his fingers, and throughout, Lawrence proves his ability to overcome pain. Very reminiscent of the Gom Jabar.

It's impressive how much misinformation there is in our field.

Some people read 1 paragraph from documentation and assume Httponly cookies are useless for SPAs.
I mainly associate that movie with Sean Connery's lecture on the senpai-kohai relationship in which, being Sean Connery, he pronounced "senpai" like "shenpai".

Rising Sun in both novel and film forms were written in a time of strong anti-Japanese sentiment, in which there was considerable fear that Japanese companies would gobble up American assets (real estate, businesses, etc.) till there was no domestic industry left. Japan really was the China of the 1980s. Of course, things didn't really stay that way; the Japanese economy stagnated but the popularity of Japanese media like anime, manga, and video games helped foster more positive relations between Japan and the West (especially the USA).

Take Rising Sun as a "product of its time" and it's really quite enjoyable.

The keiretsu are actually groups of related companies that cooperate, often around a central bank which is the core of the keiretsu. They are usually descendants of zaibatsu, which were the huge dynastic companies that were broken up after WWII, although some "new keiretsu", like Seven & i Holdings which administers, among other things, 7-Eleven's Japanese locations, have emerged.
Corp IT recently banned my Indy with IRIX 6.5.32 daily driver from the network for some bureaucratic reason. I feel your pain.
My understanding is that selling appliances without plugs was done to make work for the electronic shops. People attaching their own plugs would seem to defeat the purpose.

That's not true and your opinion is subjective. Windows 11 is a great developer platform.
> A micro-kernel with a clearly defined device driver API would mean that Google could update the kernel and android version, while continuing to let old device drivers work without update.

A monolithic kernel with a clearly defined device driver API would do the same thing. Linux is explicitly not that, of course. Maintaining backwards-compatibility in an API is a non-trivial amount of work regardless of whether the boundary is a network connection, IPC, or function call.

Did you use it on Windows? I never understood the hate for iTunes. It was a dream for someone like me who'd spend hours customizing their library. A far cry from today's software from Apple.

In fact, I was never able to use Apple Music because it handled bad internet atrociously. And last time I checked (2022?) it was still not fixed.
At least the weather is great so they got that going for them.

Meh. Many coders don't know how transistors work, and they can still be productive.

I use syncthing. It's so simple. How did it fail for you?

The only problem I can think of is that they both/all need to be on.

I have almost your exact same use case. I do sync one machine at work, but mostly I'm just trying to avoid drive failure and be able to share programming projects easily.
I work on Starnix and I've never heard of anything meant to replace it. What are you talking about?

It’s confusing to just say that Nikon or Kirin are Mitsubishi companies. It has to do with how keiretsu-style conglomerates operated.

And here I was assuming it was changing to intel arc or display port (due to the card) or wayland (due to the driver) that causes my screens to jump to 100% brightness after they turn off. I see it still isn't fixed after 5 months so if I can't go back to X after my next update I'm putting my old nvidia back in.
Literally none of that has any relevance to whether it's a conflict of interest, and whether he should have recused.

How do you not see that?

How can you possibly, in good faith, think that "some of these contracts went well and saved money" has any relationship to whether something is a conflict of interest or not.

Do you just not understand what a conflict of interest is?

Or do you really think conflicts of interest don't exist if "ends justify means" or "they have the best interests of the government at heart" or something really out there like this?

If so, this is a pointless discussion, and man you should take a business ethics (or conflicts of interest) class, because you don't really don't seem to understand conflicts at all.

Or at the very least read the authoritative source I gave you of what a conflict of interest is for the purposes of federal contracting, that you seem to have completely ignored.

The same way you completely ignored that even in your weird world of what a conflict in, in this case, he literally said he would recuse himself, and did not.

Which, whether it saves government money, or whatever the heck, is definitely unethical.

So overall, based on your response i'd say you are either not having this discussion in good faith, or you are so unequipped to meaningfully participate in this discussion that people are mistaking it for you arguing in bad faith.
The syntax is getting pretty un-CSS like though, so how much of a benefit is it going to be? FE developers would still have to learn another new way of doing something that can be handled with JS.
I would definitely confuse this with my NAS and put a couple of hard drives in it.
This is just the warmup to letting Putin off sanctions. This administration is bought and paid for, and for a depressingly cheap sum.

It really seems like some version of Russia's 'Foundations of Geopolitics' playbook is being pitched to this administration, likely Russia telling Trump that if the US gives Europe to Russia then the US can take Canada and Greenland or some other fart-huffing pipe dream.

Dev at Apple seems immensely political and corporate. From the outside it looks very much as there are points for shipping $new_thing, even if no one out there wants $new_thing.

The whole marketing cycle is based on a endless stream of $new_things that give Tim Cook something to talk about during those slick presentations - presumably so he doesn't spend all his time making prayer gestures and talking slowly.

There doesn't seem to be anyone in charge of overall user experience who can say "Why does Facetime get so confused by different numbers and devices owned by one person? Why does the shared clipboard only work some of the time? Did the Settings app really need a new UI? Why hasn't Finder been updated since forever?"

And so on.
To be fair iTunes had become such a kitchen sync software. The Windows version is universally hated I think, I remember hearing jokes about iTunes on regular TV talk shows.
Oh no, what will will America do without the added productivity that is stock buybacks and firing workers for a temporary stock bump?
This makes sense to me, especially with the looming fiscal uncertainty around CHIPS, there's probably a lot of really good plans that just got derailed by the administration they can capitalize on.

And after Zelensky, I'd probably also be panicking to prove my worth. Trump is pretty anti-China, but it's unclear why or why anyone would expect he'd stay that way given his behavior with Russia and his affection for Xi.
The answer with any discussion of this nature is to immediately disregard any and all answer that doesn't come in, unprompted, with an explanation.

Which is about 90% of the comments here. Not a joke. I have counted 18 and see only 2 with specific gripes. Worthless comment section. (Sorry, but I did include yours too)

I was 16 when I first met the first big "Mac is better than Windows" argument in person. I asked why, and they mentioned a number of things that didn't feel relevant to the people at the table, but the one that stood out was a particular feature that was indeed quite useful. Well, I didn't know how to respond at the time, but as soon as I got home, I checked with windows and the feature was right there.

I don't think they were wrong for their preference. In fact, back then there was a lot of major differences in the workflow for these OS that isn't as big nowadays, specially if you're someone who can actually use google for more than 20 seconds. But the interaction proved to me the importance of being able to back your stance, because, if you don't, you may as well be just another 16 year old idiot with 0 technical or practical knowledge of the stuff that dictated your preference. They don't learn how to resolve their problems with them either, if they hide the reasons from others. So, again, worthless - take up screen space that could have better comments, while informing nothing and helping no one.
Challenges in Governing AI Agents
I personally find it much more ergonomic to have the allocator attached to the type (as in Ada). Aside from the obvious benefit of not needing to explicitly pass around your allocator everywhere, it also comes with a few other benefits:

- It becomes impossible to call the wrong deallocation procedure.

- Deallocation can happen when the type (or allocator) goes out of scope, preventing dangling pointers as you can't have a pointer type in scope when the original type is out of scope.

This probably goes against Zig's design goal of making everything explicit, but I think that they take that too far in many ways.
That reminds me of the hydraulic MONIAC computer [0]. ("Monetary National Income Analogue Computer")

Or perhaps the ancient greek"hydraulic telegraph" [0], which (sadly) was not a pipe-based communication system, but two independent pre-calibrated water-clocks. The signals were sent by flaming torch, but by measuring the duration of the light more information could be sent.

> Feature prioritization over optimization: Engineering resources appear focused on new capabilities rather than fixing existing performance problems;

This point really cuts to the heart of my frustration with Apple lately. I switched from Windows XP Pro to OS X 10.2 in order to have a dead simple, bulletproof desktop experience without all the nonsense. I recently booted my old macbook to grab some files and was shocked at how lovely and simple 10.2 was.
I guess Ender finally gets his game.
Agreed. The hardware is excellent, but the customizability, and overall snappiness of the UI are far inferior to my XFCE setup.
There is scarcity in USD, but no scarcity on Fiat. Every USD bond investor/hodler is betting the farm that the USA will be the dominant nation forever. USD is very similar to a cult or Ponzi scheme where you only achieve your goal if you can convince others to join.

Why do you think nearly every USA Maxi will claim all other countries are "Sh|t countries"? ...including nations/currencies that are using identical macroeconomics as USD?
You don't, there are equal trade offs. JIT might use more memory because of what it does at the runtime, but it is also the exact reason it is faster to start. A good trade off is just using the type of languages best suited for the workload.
> Supported by former Democratic intellectuals like Glenn Greenwald.

What? Greenwald was never a Democrat. Anti-Bush isn't the same thing as Democrat.
The two biggest factors are how committed to this is Google and who is interested in developing and using this if Google drops it.

What do you think the answers to those are?
Love it. I know it's satire, but I call the real thing the "efficient markets fundamentalism". For some people really is blind faith.
>I suspect HP could(and do it appears) get away with a minimal console only linux install for their firmware flashing needs. but the long tail of low level dos tooling for the PC world is still hanging on.

Historically, the FreeDOS option existed because Microsoft banned OEMs who sold computers with Windows from also selling computers without an operating system because they thought it would encourage software piracy. OEMs didn't want to have to provide end-user support for Linux or other alternative OS's, so they instead decided on FreeDOS since it qualified as an OS, but was basic enough that nobody would actually use it. Before anyone mentions old industrial/scientific equipment, that stuff all depends on hardware ISA cards or physical parallel/serial ports so it's irrelevant on a prebuilt computer made in the past 20 years. I'm not sure why FreeDOS is offered here since there's also an Ubuntu option for people who don't want to pay for a Windows license.

In this case, because the FreeDOS installation is inside a VM, it won't let you do BIOS updates or whatever since the VM doesn't have access to the computer's physical hardware. I imagine what happened was that HP had a hard drive image they'd been loading on PCs since the early 2010s set up to dual-boot FreeDOS and a Debian kiosk installation with the digital manual. Someone at HP was tasked with making the image work on newer computers that didn't have firmware support for booting in BIOS mode, so they came up with the solution of booting up a copy of Debian that then auto-starts a FreeDOS VM.

PS3 was wacky, but the 360 wasn't that different from a PC at the time. There were some differences in rendering API, it had a few features not available on PC hardware. And the CPU cores were actually slower than an equivalent intel, but you had 6 of them, rare for the time. If your game was relatively portable and already used a API relatively close to D3D, it wasn't too hard to bring it up on the 360. I worked on a 360 game FWIW.
The trade offs between them are meaningful. Also Rust ain't bad for an AOT.
You can, in fact the UK _does_ have competing services via "open access railways".

The issue is they only exist where routes are profitable - which is almost none of them.

- running a single-page app framework

Termination shock is already happening as we've been decreasing the amount of SO2 in the air we breathe. Peak global SO2 emissions were 131 million tons in 1979. Now it's 69 million as of 2022. We've been removing the sunscreen that unintentionally cooled the Earth, and one of the reasons why 2023 and 2024 were the hottest in recorded history.

If you want to understand the risks of doing vs. not doing SAI check out this recently published paper: https://climate.uchicago.edu/insights/comparing-the-benefits...

The next step is to redeploy the SO2 that has unintentionally cooled Earth and do it better in the stratosphere with a fractional amount that we've tolerated since the start of the Industrial Revolution.

Here's an article I recently wrote if you want to understand from a macro-level: https://www.keepcool.co/p/no-one-is-coming-to-save-us-time-t...

The last point about "fossil fuels can continue" is also called moral hazard. Regardless of SAI or not, we're going to keep using whatever is the cheapest and accessible fuel we have available, and right now, it's hydrocarbons pulled from the ground. We've already gotten good at recklessly warming our planet and unintentionally cooling it, so we might as well get good at cooling intentionally.

Except those iPad apps also have to have a Web app now, and if you don't have a custom MacOS app your iPad app has to look good when run in MacOS. You then have to support all iPhone models. But also maybe Windows and probably Android. 25 years ago you could slap "IBM PC Compatible" on software and basically design for like 5 color depths and maybe a few resolutions.

Update cycles were on the order of a year, not a week (which also means all new features need to be ported to all the platforms above in that timeframe). Not even mentioning the backend infrastructure and maintenance to run and sync all of these when 25 years ago everything was on your local hard drive and maybe a floppy disk or CD-R.
