When Dart was launched Javascript (Typescript) was not really a enjoyable language to use. For me at least it filled that void as a strongly typed language I could use on the web and server side that was easy to pick up. I thjnk that was the niche it was trying to fill and wasnt just made for the sake of it.

Extensions can request a higher level of permisions so you typically wont run into that issue.

> Have you tried to buy a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series X? Good luck, they’re still hard to get. No one can produce enough chips. The same goes for automobiles. Automakers have had to choose between producing cars with fewer features or not making them at all.

> Apple hasn’t had this problem. You can walk into an Apple store right now and pick up an iPhone 12 or an M1-based Mac.

I feel like this is only true right now because Apple already had this problem last year. I recall trying every store around me to get an iPad Pro, they were always out of stock with no indicator when they will get them. It was only possible to get one a month before the new one came out.

Dont forget the advertisements for games and the usual privacy policy you have to accept to allow them to take whatever data they want.

Although it also needs to look at when it decides to hand back control. Its all well and good saying its 'safer' because it makes less mistakes than a human driver would doing the same amount of miles but if it only is activatable in locations/conditions that are considerably easier to control then its somewhat incomparable.

How would mobile networks fair with something like this if youre moving around?

Cant edit this post on this HN client but just to note, personally I dont have much knowledge of freenode specifically so I dont know if this is exclusively a bad thing because its freenode and not slme other server.

Eh I feel as though you relinquished the channel the second you essentially shut it down. Why would freenode or any IRC server want to just keep a channel that is unused except to advertise a different server? I would understand more if it was some sort of specific channel that the name was clearly exclusively yours but its rather generic and a bot that many people here could also maintain.

Strikes me as sort of 'domain squatting'

Not the original poster but I think things are just radically different by the sounds of it. Every company I have worked at, once the code is in the main revision everyone is responsible for it. At that stage the code has gone through many people from reviewers to testers, its not one single persons fault.

Easiest thing to do ia not to blame but to just find a solution and see as a team if it was a genuine mistake that is unavoidable or if you can make some adjustment to the process to ensure quality and reliability of your code.

People can specialise in a certain area of the codebase but no one 'owns' anything. Everyone needs to respect that any change to the code is a neccesary one. The 'expert' or original coder is usually a reviewer of the changes proposed anyway so thats when they can voice opinion on whether someone has misunderstood something or not.

Bugs/Features can be worked on by anyone without ego getting in the way.

It sounds pretty reasonable to be honest, youre allowed to share the code and theres no legal reprocussions for doing so but the company should be able to just stop sending you stuff if you do?

Yeah, I did similar to this where I just ouright said I cannot afford to pay the cancellation fee and they waived it. Obviously they are in the right to vharge this (if they make it abundantly clear). I do disagree with the practice or pricing model but cant say I didnt know about the fee going into it.

KYC and Source of Wealth info is pretty common in the gambling industry. For example at the company I worked at when you hit 2k EUR (or equivilent) your account would be locked until you gave information as to where the money came from. It's an overhead for sure but it should be the cost of running a gambling business.

Gambling addiction is real and while it is the responsibility of the person not to defraud others to support their addiction the casino should have picked up on it. Just like you wouldn't expect a bar tender to continue serving someone who is practically on the floor passing out.

One way is likely through product placement and sponsorship. Just have to make sure not to lay it on too thick or you'll lose readers.

If there is a need and its profitable then surely someone would provide that service?

I wonder if this is faster than GTA Onlines microtransaction JSON file parser.

I'm on mobile so I cant link it, but carykh on YouTube made a bunch of tools like this that remove silence or edit clips on the fly based on you putting a thumbs up or down along with other things. Definitely worth checking out if you want to see something that already exists.

If you do see their animated videos you'll find out that actually most of the animations are automatically created via a script that works with phonetics and emotions they hint it to show. Pretty cool stuff.

While theres no way for me to have a source for this but I would hazard a guess and say most apps that use Electron simply would not exist without it. Maybe someone would fill the void if they had the idea, money and knowhow to build a native app on whatever platform you use but probably unlikely.

Basically, no way you'd just be waiting an extra month for your native version.

Hmm seems the title of this post was changed and I cannot edit it anymore, can someone change it to 'for training' or 'to train'. In its current form it's incorrect and sounds like some sort of locomotive AI.

True, big companies would be able to continue the guarantee but if all companies are not forced to set aside some 'contingency' money in the event of failure to keep the services running would you trust them to keep their end of the bargain?

Would that not hurt the smaller companies more since you'd be less likely to purchase from them as theres nothing in place to say they must keep their promises?

Edit: Not saying it shouldn't be an option not to provide the guarantee, just maybe there should be something saying if they do provide it then they must keep their end of the deal in the event of bankruptcy

Forgive my ignorance on the subject but if it's not government mandated then what's stopping them from going bankrupt and not respecting the guarantee?

If they set aside no money to keep the promise then they physically cannot do anything about it when they run out of cash to keep the external services running.

Not standing up for Google here as they've done this many times. However that being said I feel like there must be a better way of providing these sort of devices that depend on an external service so they can keep running.

I think in these cases there should be some sort of software 'escrow' type deal where in the event of them shutting down the companies that purchased them can go for full refund or the option of a partial refund but with the source code of the external services required to keep them fully operational. So if someone has built their model around a particular piece of tech they can continue operating until they have a proper solution to replace them.

Edit: Just realised I may have mistook these devices for those that are used by companies that provide training for specialist equipment (eg. Hololens). So my response was sort of company centric, not sure what a good solution is for ordinary consumer devices as I guess you can't expect people to run their own server just for the 'smart' features.

Minecraft (before survival mode was added) was a free game though to be fair

Ah its first in a series, the first time Next up links hasn't just been completely irrelevant articles.

I feel like that article took way too long to get to the actual point of it then unfortunately abruptly ended as soon as it got interesting.

I guess the problem is when you want to quickly provide a favicon with the search result (beit in the omnibar or actual search page), as you're typing and results are being displayed you cannot send off a request to the site, wait for HTML html to finish up downloading, send off a request to the manifest if its defined for multiple sites at once.

On a technical level of course its doable but in reality it's a complete waste of data and processing, not to mention it could take a long time to show up. I imagine they have these favicons all cached on their side so they can quickly send the right file down and/or do this processing if needed.

That being said maybe they should just not use a favicon if it's that big of a deal.

Not necessarily, I'm only a couple years older and school computers were always incredibly out of date and running 95/98/2000

Can't seem to edit my comment on this app, but I believe you may also be able to set these in a web manifest json file too.

You can also set it in JS still a meta tag and image I guess though. It's how some sites do the notification badge thing that is animated.

Doesn't really fit your 'outside any UI framework' requirement but there is http://reactdesktop.js.org/

Does a pretty good job at mimicking both Windows 10 and Mac OS. If there isn't a CSS framework someone else can link you to then you could either just use react (providing it's a project where that sort of decision doesn't affect anything) or attempt to take the CSS styles from this project.

I own an S10+ and I have to say out of the box it is the most ad ridden phone I have ever owned. Absolute joke that they can be charging as much as they are, definitely had buyers remorse a week in.

Apple get a lot of flak for expensive hardware, which of course is true, but at least you get decent hardware with very good UX and software.
