TypeScript management feels very strongly about remaining fully compilable to JavaScript, with no runtime component. So likely not as a native feature, no.

I use Firefox containers as a replacement for Chrome profiles and I find them to be quite good. The Sidebery addon adds sidebar tab groups where each group can have a different default container, I use it to maintain different sets of sessions for personal and work stuff (GitHub, etc)

What do you believe are some inherent incompatibilities between JavaScript and the GDPR?

So? They're gatekeepers today.

> Under the DMA, the European Commission can designate digital platforms as ‘gatekeepers' if they provide an important gateway between businesses and consumers in relation to core platform services.

Do you contest this designation?

It's taking an L in the sense that the government doesn't want Facebook to ban news, they want Facebook to pay for linking news. Forcing people to leave their shitty echo chambers is good, but it's the opposite of what the government wants in this case.

I'm not clear on what you're referring to. What's the organization and what's the relevance of them being local news?

The bill is already law. I don't think it's virtue signaling, I think it's trying to funnel money into the pockets of Bell/Corus/Thomson Reuters/etc.

They won't see foreign sources either, the bill applies to showing news in Canada rather than just Canadian news. They'll have to visit sources directly.

Is it desired? Probably not, but there could be silver linings. Fewer governments posting important information exclusively on social media, for example, and people being conditioned to look directly to news sources for their news.

It could be nice to have news off of social media. Fewer people reading headlines, either full articles or nothing at all.

It'll kill all independent/local media, but then that's the goal all along.

You'd best file an amicus brief with your analysis.

If someone else buys it then you're not spending anything.

Locking the price in is only a guaranteed benefit if you 100% will end up buying it and the price does go up.

> You essentially can make money buying something.

You can save money buying something, which in a spreadsheet may look the same but is very different.

Granted, it's a UBC promo piece.

But the guidelines do.

> Please don't post shallow dismissals,

Yeah but capitalism isn't going away, it's just transitioning into full surveillance capitalism.

I think it is an American vs Canadian thing. The list of ten largest banks in North America is nearly evenly split between American and Canadian banks[0], so the five main Canadian banks are 10x as large as their American counterparts, proportional to the population.

The only conceivable scenario where a major Canadian bank fails and any depositors are not made whole is one where the government has lost the ability to maintain the currency and the Canadian dollar is worthless anyway.

> Also, couldn't find anything coming near the value of a baseline Macbook Air M1 as far as build quality, battery life, stability etc. is concerned.

And the trackpad! I always evangelize the Macbook trackpad because that shit is bananas, as it were.

I think that's an overly semantic argument. I can be as certain as I am of anything that the number in my RBC chequing account corresponds exactly to the amount of money I can withdraw or spend, and if that ever stops being the case I'll likely have bigger concerns than money.

$10 trillion AUM and a market cap of $100 billion means that 99% of their investments are directly on behalf of their clients, that's what GP is emphasizing.

It's insane that flatseal isn't a native part of flatpak. Problems like you encountered mean that the packaging system is incomplete by default.

fish shell does this by default, and also autocompletes commands from your history. I highly recommend it.

I'm partial to this Irish one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNL6t-Eu-IY

Glad you agree.

I don't see how this generalizes. If this is supposed to work for any "the {modifier} {subject}" phrase, it won't, because if you want to say "the white cow" you'll end up with "Le vache blanche," which is wrong.

You could store `(format: "%3$@ %1$@ %2$@", modifier: "blanc", subject: "cheval", article: "Le")` but now you've got so many gender associations to keep track of, and a phrase that will still only work as a subject (because in German, all of the words will change if the white horse is the object of the sentence).

EDIT: Oh you're just talking about sprintf specifically, I see what you mean. I agree with your other comment that it's ideal to pass entire sentences to the translators when possible, which is what I'm getting at here too.

> The ideas of dark matter and dark energy seems obviously made-up. If a junior dev came to you with that sort of theory for a weird effect they encountered in a system, you'd tell them to look harder instead of making up new fundamental interactions.

Well, yeah. Dark matter and dark energy are the bug ticket names, so to speak. Thousands of physicists are coming up with ways to "look harder."

A project manager, probably. "Advocating for XYZ" costs emotional capital that I'm not necessarily willing to devote to a particular project, or to my employer at all.

There's a similar app designed for cruises, where you can talk peer-to-peer over the ship's wifi without actually being online. It could work if you have a wifi antenna with you.

The counterfeit book won't have an NFT. Someone browsing Amazon will buy a counterfeit Jane Friedman book, and won't know to look for an NFT. The only people who know to look for an NFT will be those who read Jane Friedman's website where she talks about her NFT books, and they'll buy a book from a link on her website, so the NFT won't serve a purpose because they'll already be buying a real book from a trusted source.

How would anyone know to look for an NFT on the fake?

The target of the scammers is someone browsing Amazon, who isn't going to know to look for an NFT. Someone familiar with the author is just going to check the author's website and see the list of books they've published.
