> I mean, why even go after her for (relative) pennies?
Because it is still a crime and it would signal other criminals that they can be part of billion dollar scams, make 10s of millions and not be charged of fraud.
I love this feature. I use it most of the time in large functions where I can group some lines as one logical piece but not generic enough to be a function. It helps with reading the code back and prevents leaking vars into rest of the function scope. Such blocks end up becoming scattered single use functions when extracted out which isn't ideal.
I know people who used to think evolution is by design or somehow intelligent. Maybe it was a byproduct of the education system in my part of the world and yours did a better job but I've come across a lot of people who think like that. I feel it is an important distinction to make to avoid propagating such misconceptions about science.
Te point OP is making is that being born without tusks is just a random chance, not a response to anything but as a result of this random chance, this elephant has a higher chance of living longer and having more babies resulting in higher chance of the "tuskless gene" being passed on to future generations. The distinction is important to understand evolution correctly. A lot of evolution deniers have a problem with the "intelligent response" aspect of it which doesn't actually exist.
I know exactly what you mean and I get this a lot too. I always thought it was in my head but recently I tried a Drunken Noodle recipe from FreshPrep which used Beyond Meat Burgers and I felt nothing. It was actually delicious. I guess the prep method somehow affects it?
Completely agree. I'd always be open to typing a lot more if it meant reading that code back will be obvious later. The true test is whether someone who knows the language but not the framework can read a piece of code and roughly understand what it does. Looks like Preact Signals utterly fails this test and that makes me sad.
I totally get you and have experienced this at my current and previous job but I had totally opposite experiences at three jobs before that. It highly depends on the culture. Going remote first is not simply allowing remote work and calling it a day. It takes a lot of time and effort to cultivate a good "remote culture".
Open sourcing is in this is not about the implementation or the CS algorithm. It is more about transparency. I think the idea is that the public should know how tweets are ranked, why tweets show up in timelines and which timelines, what makes tweets popular etc. Imagine Google publishing a document detailing how their system ranks pages aka publishes internal SEO rules officially. I don't know if it is a good idea or not. People with enough resources might be able to game the system (if they don't do it already).
As an outsider, I'd like big corps to spend billions on research projects or technologies like this than social networks like Google Plus. I feel a lot more good can come out of these projects even if the projects themselves fail.
Yes it has GUI. Flutter is the main/official way to build apps on it. The OS shell is also written in Flutter if I remember correctly. So far, the OS has been seen on or confirmed to release in near future on one Google Home device. Technically though, it seems to be designed for all kind of consumer devices ranging from phones to desktops.
IMO this is more or less an experiment which if successful, will end up merging/replacing Android and Chrome OS into a single OS. Android and Chrome runtimes can be ported to Fuschia and the underlying OS can be swapped on many devices. New devices can ship with Fuschia + an android compatibility layer. Developers would be able to ship native Fuschia or android apps. Would work on phones, IoT, Chromebooks and could be install-able on desktops.
This is all just speculation though and a lot of things need to go right for this to happen but I'd imagine this would be the ideal/desired outcome for its creators.
Off-topic: Is there a Google Photos like app out there for Android that can use a custom backend like Hetzner? By Google Photos, I mean ability to share photos with family, tag faces and have some level of smart categorization.
and that is exactly what tools like black do for you. A linter tells you a line of code could be better while as something like black goes further and makes the change for you so you don't even need to think about it.
Can I request a feature? I'd love Shortwave to ignore a specific folder or label in Gmail. I can then label stuff I deem extra sensitive and it would never leave Gmail. This would give a lot of people peace of mind when trying Shortwave.
Just tried it and have a bug report: back button is completely broken. I opened a category/group then openened an email, clicked mouse side button (which is bound to back button of browser) and it took me to a completely random email thread. No matter how many times I try it, it takes me back to the same thread. I never opened the thread before I was taken there by the back button.
The product looks great. One question: does it sync everything to shortwave servers? If I download the desktop app, will everything still be synced to the servers? I'd be fine with most of my email being copied by a service like this but thinking of emails like OTPs, account resets, bank/credit card and social security authorizations makes me a bit too uncomfortable. I wish this had a denylist of some sort to never some sync mail.
Using black is not about how the code looks but to eliminate an entire suite of review comments/discussions. Everyone simply runs black over all code before submitting and no one ever comments about how anything is formatted.
> Example of good vertical integration: Apple M1/AirPods/iPhone/Apple Music. That's a very convenient ecosystem for users, and it allows Apple to reduce manufacturing cost. We both agree there should be strong competitors to Apple, for the lower manufacturing costs to propagate to consumers as well.
I agree this is a very good thing but I think we'd both agree that Apple buying Arm would probably be a very bad thing in the medium-long run. I don't know what the solution is but as a consumer, I'd like companies to collaborate and thrive in a single big ecosystem vs having one big company. For example, Activision games can still be on Game Pass without Microsoft completely owning them and as an end user, I think that is more balanced.
I think what OP is trying to say is that the merit of a given feature alone should determine whether it goes into the stdlib or not and author's reputation should not result in something being merged that wouldn't otherwise.
This is so so so sad. I use firefox as my main browser and lockwise was so much useful when I needed to log into something on my phone. Very disappointing.
Exactly. I used to play games all the time as a teenager on my PC and managing the PC was actually fun but since I started working, I just don't have the time to think about drivers, updates, viruses, anti-viruses, upgrading the graphics and all that stuff.
For me it is the ability to jump in, play for 30 mins and get out any time I want. The guarantee that everything that has a label of my console on it will work instead of my PC specs running it in a sub-optimal mode or not running at all. The fact that I don't have to worry about dealing with Windows or PC in general just to play some games but biggest of all, the ability to just pack it up and take it with me wherever I go is immense. That said, I'll be moving to a different city in NA soon kind of semi-permanently and am thinking of building a home PC for work+gaming.
Without getting into all the moral and ethical issues, YouTube recommendation system is absolutely useless. I watched one Tesla model S plaid video and now 50% of my feed is about Tesla. I never discover anything new on YouTube anymore. It seems stuck in a very fast feedback loop and has zero discoverability for me. I remember when you could actually "surf" YouTube and discover so much interesting content.
> Considering the only problem with remaining 8 titles not running is DRM/anti-cheat, it is possible that we'll see this day arrive.
Valve has confirmed they are working with Epic (and another vendor) to support EAC on at least Steam OS if not every distro but I'd imagine Steam itself would contain everything that'd be needed to run EAC. So if you can run Steam on your favourite distro, I think EAC should work as well.
