I don't think you appreciate how easy it is for the chromium forks to add their own ad blocking. This is simply not a good example of monopoly abuse on Google's part.

Because development costs money. Your "impossible to keep up" here is easily explained by Google simply investing more money in development and thus being able to "innovate" faster. The only way to compete is to invest more, but where do you get that money from?

The easy fix is to make them slow down development, but I fail to see how that's a good thing.

Yeah, that kind of sucks. I liked a sibling suggestion that splitting off YouTube would make more sense because at least it could be a self-sustaining product.

You see? There is choice.

> Because so many browsers are forks of Chromium v2 will disappear from a majority of browsers.

It rather sounds like a great marketing opportunity for anyone trying to compete with Chrome, whether they keep the v2 or just implement ad-blocking themselves.

I mean, in the world where chromium exists, maintaining your own entirely independent codebase of a full web browser does not make business sense. It's better and easier to reuse what you can and build on top of that.

Out of the Western Europe, I lived in Sweden and Germany, and I have not been impressed with the health care so far. I hear it's different when you're having a heart attack, but if you "just" tore some knee ligaments, for example, getting good care in a timely manner is a struggle.

Yes, the String is a list of characters. The Haskell code uses head and tail on it. In Racket, they provided string-first and string-rest (at the end) to replace those.

You get this error on all the browsers I tried on desktop, including Chrome and Firefox.

Also in Polish, actually.

> Especially that Berlin is basically an American/Expat enclave in Germany where the native Germans are a minority to the point they're annoyed that nobody at cafes, bars and restaurants can take their orders in German.

This is a pretty tired trope. As an immigrant living in Berlin since 2020, first in Prenzlauer Berg and now in Schöneweide, I still haven't found those enclaves that even speak English, let alone don't speak German. I'm sure they exist, but generalising from them to the whole 4 million+ city seems as misguided as generalising from your Berlin experience to the rest of the country.

> I think its mostly PHD's that are paid shit comparatively to the US, lol.

No. The salaries at all levels in Europe are lower than in the US, regardless of a few outliers. That part is indisputable.

> Anecdotally, I feel like Sweden produces more startups that grow large worldwide.

Yet, they are also part of the EU.

Elixir doesn't technically have variables. Those are bindings: you give names to values. Variable would be more like a box storing a value.

I use it on my Android phone to use less storage space. From what I remember of initial testing, the pictures were half the size.

I don't know. If I were a pro like that, I would just have a dongle for that headphone jack. It would probably also have a better DAC than iPhones ever had.

Immutable types are only considered thread-safe after their construction, though.

I remember reading somewhere that, I think, Jarvan ult at least used to be coded as a group of tightly packed special minions.

The point of certificates is not to encrypt the traffic, but rather to verify that the server you are talking to is who they claim they are. The server showing you their certificate is like you logging into an SSH session, which I've been doing for a long time with a certificate as well, actually.

You can, with 3rd party solutions. It even works on Linux with Iriun Webcam. The news is about having it built right into Mac.

Is that an interesting distinction for the target audience, though?

Even if slice is reallocated, the information about new reallocated slice is still stored in variable s. ps is merely pointing to that variable. The fact that the contents of the variable changed does not mean that its location has to change.

In other words, ps is a pointer to a pointer to array data. Append may change the inner pointer's value but that's about it.

> Hollywood & friends will follow some day, just a matter of time.

Will I still be alive, though? Because I've been waiting for some time now.

> To make a purchase on the web, I have to type in a 16 digit credit card number, 3 digit CRC number, expiry date, name and address. Every single time. After 30 years of the web, nobody has figured out a way to make this securer or simpler. Well, no, I'm sure many have figured out a way, but nobody has implemented it.

Is that really true? There are payment processors that fulfill the role Apple does when you pay on their device and, just like, Apple, make profit from those transactions.

Paypal may not be as dominant in the grand scheme of things (anymore?) making the market of transaction processing somewhat fragmented but you still don't need to enter credit card details every single time you buy from a new vendor. I certainly don't.

Poland is also sabotaging independence of the courts in attacks on democratic principles.

Probably because people's livelihoods depend on employment and they have much less power on the markets as individuals than companies.

Aren't anecdotes pieces of empirical evidence?

Is it dismissing empirical evidence or do they just value their philosophical ideas above your utility function? The very statement that it was net negative is not an objective one, really.

While 80k is above a median for a senior software developer, it is not unattainable, as far as I know.

I think I prefer the Swedish queues.
