It's "standard" for a reason. Humanity settled on these numbers long ago because they work best. It boggles my mind why anyone would choose otherwise since what we do at any given hour is arbitrary.

Apple wouldn't approve a consumer focused MDM provider.

Why? Can you provide details?

"Sorry for running over your dog, I couldn't help it, I was drunk."

> My wife left journalism about 15 years ago so maybe things are different

Ya, they are quite different!

> Using a WASM is clever

Every time a project is shared that uses WASM.

This post has nothing to do with AI. Plus, these games are classics not just because of their mechanics. Nearly the entire library of the NES were games trying, and failing, to replicate the magic of Super Mario Bros.

It's not just different way of saying something, it's a whole new way to express an idea.

> It’s deeper: LLM-generated code, calling external APIs with real credentials, without human review.

This also follows the rule of 3s, which LLMs love, there ya go.

Yes. Unless you support govt tyranny.

Why introduce yet another ignore file? Can you have it read .gitignore if .tvcignore is missing?

> Art Deco is in vogue

Is it? I wish it was, but what is the author referencing?

> This test is a manufactured problem, a silly premise, false test cases and honestly dishonest if not ignorant

It’s amazing how vitriolicly wrong people can be. Before publicly criticizing someone in the above way, prove them wrong first. Don’t just assume they’re wrong.

> Surely there’s some work out there that tries to improve font rendering on nonuniform subpixel layouts, right?

Only Microsoft can fix it, and as far as I know, they don't seem interested.

Yup, articles like this where the title is the opposite of the article's message is a trap to reveal that.

> This looks to me like partly a false dichotomy

Wasn't that the point of the article? That you need both?

Are you referring to his firing in the 80s? That was because he was supposedly a jerk at the time and no one wanted to deal with him.

It's the cost. The high cost of labor, due to the high cost of real estate, due to the limited availability. This is ultimately the cause of booth what you've pointed out (the average high salaries in the area) AND the high cost of local goods and services. If we had more affordable real estate, the average income of residents wouldn't be so high, and the costs of other things also wouldn't be so high.

Did you read the article?

> By going to a website where they can learn about various choices.

Who pays for the website? In the end, a world without ads gets very pricey very quickly.

> So, for example, Android applications written in Java are able to invoke SQLite (through an adaptor). Maybe it would have been more convenient for Android if SQLite had been coded in Java as that would make the interface simpler. However, on iPhone applications are coded in Objective-C or Swift, neither of which have the ability to call libraries written in Java. Thus, SQLite would be unusable on iPhones had it been written in Java.

This feels like they're responding to people asking for SQLite to be rewritten in Java. Who are these people?!

Looks like it's mostly strings, probably due to localization. They should consider compressing each localization/language, and decompressing the needed bundle on first startup (or language change). Even better: Download the language bundle when needed.

> I think it would have been a better world without ads. There would be more competition which would improve products and thus outcome for customers.

How would people learn about various choices?

And they certainly have such a mechanism in place, indicating that they intend to take this kind of action. They're just failing to.

Sounds to me like it's the employer that should dislike counter-offers, not the employee. This advice is also made through an "employer is always right" lens. Is it really so bad to send a signal to an employee that they were underpaid?

Doordash has the $2.99 priority optional fee, I dunno about other services.

Clearly engineers at Netflix have more important work to do.

When you make self-help content don’t be surprised when you attract people that need help.

Your sleep is more important than our work distraction.

I wish this was the level of scandal we were dealing with in the US. Canada is so lucky to just be squabbling over spelling choices.
