Interesting. I've used Emacs for a while and yet I've never heard of this tool. Will definitely check out.

It looks like a really ambitious project, but unfortunately looks like it's not gaining progress?

Part of me thought this is parody.

> To me it sounds like Golden actually wants to be a repository of all information

And based on what information did you draw that conclusion? A well-articulated self-description from a VC-funded startup? Or does it mean some competitor failed in some way automatically makes it favorable and trustworthy?

I believe what he means is that Rust takes this a step further by ensuring memory safety at compile time.

I wish Stephen Hawking were still around.

Could very well be.

> ... but multiple orders of magnitude cost reduction for building end-to-end, scalable software applications.

So I would guess it's toolchain and/or debugging/tracing tools for building scalable distributed system?

I mean no offense, but how is this really solving any problems? How is inventing a new voice many people are uncomfortable with really making the world a better place? A user configurable male/female voice could just work.

The education startup is called VIPKid and I assume it's for kids. So why would anyone teach about Tiananmen massacre to the kids?

That aside I believe the confrontation is mostly from how China and western treat sensitive topics. Western educators would feel morally obliged to present facts, while Chinese have a tradition to treat stability over everything. With China asserting its increasing influence in the world we'll probably see more clashes behind these two cultures.

I'm not saying which one is right or wrong, but both sides need to find a solution to this cultural conflict.

It looks like Google's still investing heavily on Duo, which is confusing considering all the other chatting apps from this same company. Which app does it want me to use to chat with my friends after all?

Wouldn't it be pretty hard to replace a hard drive or something? Is it really worth the trouble for better cooling?

I think it really depends. A degree requires more commitments, both time and efforts, but it'll give you more: fundamental theoretical knowledge, network, career consultancy and vision. But if you already have good fundations and need to get started in CS, there are so many resources available these days. You just need to be much more self-desciplined and dedicated. Good luck!

Farewell little one we hardly knew ye.

I'm actually very interested in all the input devices for Linux. I feel like Desktop Linux is not as good on user input devices, compared to MacOS/Windows, e.g. touch screen, hand gesture, stylus support, and of course touchpad.

Would like to see them all improved. If there's such an initiative I'll definitely donate.

Thanks. Looks like something I've been looking for. Interesting idea! Will evaluate that.

... and class inheritance, namespaces, smart pointers, move semantics, std::initializer_list, etc.. :)

Reminds me so much of the show Silicon Valley. A great satire!

Interesting. Thanks for the effort!

How good is the integration with other ActivityPub-based services? Could I see timeline of users in Pixelfed from other services? Is it going to be possible?

Someone should really make a tool: use Cloudflare to block your own trackers and user data collector and etc with one click :)

Seen this piece before, still funny to me.

That's why engineers should be interviewed by engineers.

Damn, that's Silicon Valley in summary.

What a time to be alive.

I don't think you should blame Google for putting resources into a platform of less than 1% of the market-share that's not built by Google itself.

Google has actually been pretty eager in developing iOS apps AFAIK, sometimes releasing it even sooner than Android platform. If Windows Phone really gained traction, maybe Google will develop apps for it too. Remember it's more of a service company than a hardware company.

But MS never got out of that vicious cycle. Can't shift blame to its competitors.

Love to see this happen, but how's the performance (responsiveness, memory consumptions) compared to native? I believe the main reason people are reluctant to develop web-based apps is performance, which results in poor user experience.

Any benchmarks/testings to show the performance is on par?

I think you can try this. https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck

What's the vision and mission of OpenBazaar? Do you think it's going to be significantly scalable and disruptive?

> More recent versions of Android should prevent this kind of data collection.

So the title made me think all Android are exposed to Facebook phone data scraping.

But considering how slow it is for Android devices to upgrade to the latest, it's probably still a sad state.

Not even sure if they're really serious or just being brutally sarcastic...
