Judicial review has been the accepted norm since Marbury v Madison.

"Sherlocking" can be unfortunate for a developer, but it's odd to view it as an inherently bad thing. A package manager is a core OS feature, even Microsoft has WinGet now.

I totally sympathize with not wanting to work on something that has become neither financially nor personally rewarding. I think the "early access" subscription model is a good, fair one, and I hope it succeeds.

> I also always believed that if you ever started a project that is valuable for companies, they would support you in return

But this just seems incredibly unrealistic. It's not remotely the norm for small open source libraries.

Omar Cornut, developer of Dear ImGui which is used by pretty much every AAA game studio, said he recently lost his biggest source of income. If he's having trouble getting stable sponsorship, I mean, good luck.

> actual concrete examples

Here's an easy one: nearly any pun is literally impossible to translate while still being a pun. You can explain the pun by talking about the original language, but it can't be adequately translated.

I think the most post-launch coverage they got was when Apple released that universally scorned immersive video of MLS highlights, months late and edited like a traditional TV highlight reel.

If they were just releasing more good video (people loved that Alicia Keys thing), I think there'd be more excitement among Apple fans at least. As it is, it's hard to escape the conclusion that Apple really does think of this as more of a dev kit than a device even for enthusiast users.

Limonene is already pretty commonly measured. It's exciting to finally have real studies like this which can guide breeding choices.

Every language is built on a mountain of cultural context and assumptions. That's the part which is impossible to translate. You can translate the words but you're missing layers upon layers of subtle meaning.

I have absolutely seen Copilot generate valid C# code with a nasty logic bug. You really need to carefully review every line, and at that point I would usually rather just write it myself.

I'm sure there are good use cases, but I just haven't seen anything life-changing in my experiments with various LLM products. The only thing I use day to day is IntelliCode, which saves a bit of typing here and there.

This is broadly consistent with the prevailing theory that the Voynich Manuscript was made as a pseudo-occult/alchemical book. I don't think there are any real secrets to be uncovered, but this is interesting research about what specifically the author might have been riffing on.

> It’s no secret that the pace of iPhone upgrades has slowed in recent years.

Gurman lists various reasons, but I feel like the biggest one by far is that the pace of smartphone development was incredibly exciting from 2007 to like 2017 (the iPhone X). Maybe a little later, but at some point you've got a fantastic camera and a very fast device with a great screen, so why would a normal person upgrade?

I think the cheap iPhone is one valid path, but you could also take the completely opposite direction, go all-in with on-device AI, with tons of RAM, a massively upgraded Neural Engine, etc. Find another big leap forward to offer.

It's really crazy that ATC isn't 99% computerized. It's exactly the kind of problem which is trivial for a computer program with all the necessary information, but incredibly stressful for a human.

I like Rust and Go, but I haven't seen any data which suggests widespread adoption in the "software industry" at large. Python is bigger than ever, C# is huge, C and C++ have many many years ahead even as newer languages slowly eat away at their niches.

I don't think I can manage much more than 4 hours of actual productive code writing. Not counting time spent testing or stepping away and thinking.

I'm sure you can come up with a scenario where input does slow down (eg, in huge complex files), but speaking as someone with experience speedrunning action games which require frame-perfect (60Hz) tricks, I can't detect any noticeable lag between hitting a key and a glyph appearing on the screen in VS Code.

If something's slowing it down, it's probably an autcomplete feature which can be configured to trigger less frequently.

I don't get that on Windows 11, with a FRITZ!Box that's mostly using the default settings.

Yeah all the "least depressed" countries are either minuscule and/or lacking sophisticated, comprehensive medical systems.

I think if we had perfect data, there'd be a strong correlation between sunlight hours and lower depression rates. It's one of the few real factors for alleviating mild-moderate depression. Stuff like living standards has very little relation to actual clinical depression.

I really can't imagine any circumstance where the European Commission is ok with Apple charging competitors for the privilege of competing with them, in a market explicitly mandated by the DMA.

AltStore or Epic complying with Apple's current dubious terms makes no real difference.

> all thread executions are serialized so that there is effectively only one CPU

This definitely isn't intended for general-purpose sandboxing. It's an interesting tool for analysis and debugging.

> This has been a really great webcam so far

That's your candidate for "worst ever"?

This is a lot messier than it needed to be. The Classic controller port uses a well-documented I2C protocol, so you just need to sacrifice a cheap extension cable or whatever and wire that in.

I don't know if there have been any real studies about this, but I certainly hear about a ton of people with a million open tabs and very few who productively use bookmarks in any significant way.

My theory is that bookmarks are a failed concept, putting something out of sight but not in a useful system, so it's guaranteed to be forgotten. If I really need to save an important link, it goes in a notebook which is far more flexible.

There's absolutely nothing you can do about tinnitus except adjust to it. You really do just have to relax and accept it, and it essentially fades into the background. That's literally the best treatment available.

Windows 10 and 11 are trivially pirate-able by entering a few commands, pointing to a phony KMS server. This is actually a huge change from the Vista/7 era where you had to download and install sketchy activation cracks.

I'm sure Microsoft still wants to collect Windows license fees from enterprises and hardware manufacturers, but they're far more relaxed about Windows licensing than they used to be.

Yeah it's very similar to C#, and in both languages you can pass structs by reference using the appropriate keyword.

Storing a pointer to memory that you did not explicitly allocate is always a red flag, I think. You really need to understand how everything works, and be very careful.

I would default to just using std::unique_ptr<Node> in a situation like this, especially since using std::list suggests performance isn't critical here, so the additional indirection probably doesn't matter.

Writing an entire complex game in GDScript sounds like an absolute nightmare.

It's a fine scripting language for hobby games or glue code. I would never do serious software development with it.

I'm a little puzzled by this because if you understand the language well enough to comprehend the meaning of sentences, I don't think having the text in front of you is adding much. Unless you just really struggle with listening comprehension.

What I have done is listen to a foreign language audiobook while having the text in English, which I find extraordinarily helpful at an intermediate level where you understand most of the words but may not catch the full meaning.

I agree, but I enjoyed doing Google's semi-secret random-invite-only "Foobar" challenge, which gives you a series of coding problems with a silly story attached.

I think even that very minimal structure helps mentally elevate it from a boring math problem to a "real" scenario.

Funny that they were aware of the mechanic that can be used to skip grapple beam entirely (a huge time save), but didn't incorporate it into the "speed run" walkthrough.

The earliest known recorded run is from 2003, by which time the mockball had been discovered, but not the zebetite skip, so there's far more ammo collection than you'd see even in a beginner's run today.

None of the points listed in the opening here have any real bearing on whether or not an LLM can handle some weird, poorly worded ("we replaced ... by") text substitution problem.
