If this is the what the richest economy in the world looks like, imagine the rest of the world.

Even if google kills flutter, I think the project has reached the point where it can live on without them. The framework and ecosystem has been around for years by now and in the time its been around, its been maintained by some seriously smart people. It can live on with a smaller team, new features will just take a little longer.

Obviously its still sad when people get layed off though.

> nobody can use its code on open-source projects any more

This just shows you have no idea what sspl entails. It states you can use it for whatever you want, but if you want to provide the product as a service, you need to share all your infrastructure code for providing the service.

Its basically agpl with a carve-out for AWS and that is so valid because AWS are vultures. They probably make the most money in the world from postgres but aren't even in the top 3 contributors[0].

taxation reform won't be necessary. Its just straight up unobtainable by most countries.

I mean any set of resources that after studying it will make you confident in reading material in law. It doesn't necessarily have to be a specific law system, or is that not how things work?

Does anyone know of good online resources to teach yourself law. CS and engineering have great courses online, surely there are some hidden law gems.

On another HN post someone made a really interesting comment about why the US government attacks its own strategic assets. Both Microsoft and Apple do business world wide and funnel cash into the US and these DOJ lawsuits impact how these companies operate globally. The anticompetitive behaviour involved is usually very intricate and it takes a good understanding of these businesses to spot when they cross the line. Most governments will never understand this and won't regulate these companies, so its weird that the US government does it for them.

On the other hand, Apple has shown that it is willing to differentiate product lines over geographic boundaries, so maybe this lawsuit will make apple offer 3 lines of products, for Europe, the US and the rest of the world.

30x is the type of number that when you see it in a generational improvement, you should ignore it as marketing fluff.

Definitely a fun read, but the author has an axe to grind with the references to "who gets bitches" and the unnecessary footnotes. Take what you will from it.

Thats great for you I guess. When I work, I want vscode with all the fancy linting and language server bells and whistles. I want to be able to have a ton of chrome tabs for browsing and docs and I want a local version of whatever I am building to run. Im gonna make the bold assumption that this is quite common in the dev community. Given that, 8gb is pushing it, no matter how you spin the "but my memory is fast" or "but native apps"

If you only use it for occasional ios dev, rather get a mac mini. As a bonus, when your done with it, put asahi linux on it and itd be a great home server.

Memory bandwidth doesn't matter for these types of devices, it is memory latency that matters. But best of all is actually having your application in memory and not having to do disk reads.

Revenue doesn't really matter, you should look at profits. Amazon makes most of their revenue from the website, but pretty much all of their profits come from cloud. The tech giant business model is to dominate distribution and extract profits by self preferencing. Im sure apple's services division is a good portion of their profits.

> But sometimes, people just try your thing, don't like it

People don't just try things. And they judge things they havent tried. They stick with what they know. They all got taught java in school, so thats what they use.

they are there to protect everyone from people like you who want to walk around naked.

This is more defensive in nature, I guess flexing your defensive capabilities is less revealing than flexing offensive capabilities.

I think it was an attenpt at the luxury SUV market. A lot of rich people drive huge SUV's, the cybertruck can kinda be a quirkie suv. The hilux type workhorse trucks will never be replaced by anything electric (atleast on the global scale, america might have a chance with the f150 lightning)

ah yes. the internet autism diagnoses.

> Competence at what?

There is a class of people who believe leadership is something you can learn on its own. These are the people who join all the useless commitees for resume building purposes. Leadership only has value when paired with significant knowledge in some domain.

> Avoiding strong personalities purely for the sake easing hostility sounds a lot like cowardice.

Cowardice is when you avoid something, because of fear. GP is talking about avoiding people who will annoy you.

Can confirm this is definitely a thing. Though in my case has to do with PC's. My mother needed a new computer and when searching online for a windows laptop, she always ended up looking at the cheapest garbage on sale. Im talking laptops that cost half as much as her iphone. But tell her to look for a mac and she will have to start looking at more expensive devices that won't be e-waste in 2 years. Pretty bizarre.

> You're watching a known liar interview a known liar.

You make it sound more intriguing if you put it that way.

I usually don't give a shit about news and don't watch tucker carlson, but I thought this is a noteworthy enough topic to get my attention. Like it or not, millions of people are going to watch this interview.

> Or is that geopolitically major dictatorship preparing to game twitter ahead of a major propaganda push?

Who cares if it is propaganda. This is going to be an opportunity to hear the president of the most talked about country speak about why people are talking about them.

Its kindoff a shame. The people who built the foundations of our industry already knew what was coming decades ago and warned us, but we all thought they were crazy and ignored them. Now look at us. Governments can't even succesfully stand up against the control that these systems have over us.

Even if facebook isn't doing fine, instagram is. Instagram is eating the market of younger people who would have used facebook. Either way meta wins.

I heard that the keyboard for the 16 will run QMK firmware but I don't see anything mentioned. To me, the killer feature of this machine is the QMK keyboard. Being able to remap keys on the firmware level allows you to sidestep all the shitty ergonomic choices that software vendors have made. Keyboard shortcuts are typically three buttons and you usually need to twist your wrist to hit 2 of them. Really hope framework succeeds.

You won't have to worry about different engines and their edge cases. But at that point we are back to electron, but in rust.

Also much more respect to the employees. They left their home because of geopolitics and work.

There is necessary complexity in the domain rust is trying to cater to and rust is the simpler way to approach those problems compared to its competitors. Just because you don't work in those domains doesn't mean they don't exists.

They pivoted to military applications and I haven't seen much news about it. It looks like something out of the futuristic call of duty games. It looks super cool, but apparently soldiers didn't like it.

I have never in my life seen or heard anyone advocating for less use of birth control. This might be an N=1 scenario, but my bullshit'o-meter is tingling a bit.

The people I know on the right have nothing against birth control. They are just against abortion exept for exceptional circuimstances, because by that point the relevant parties had their chance with birth control. To them, abortion shouldn't be an escape hatch from bad life choices.
