Google Meet was launched in March 2017.

I'm more amused that ExpertsExchange.com figured out the core of the issue, 30 years ago, down to their site's name.

I feel the biggest advantage about GitHub over other platforms is that many tools that integrate with a software project platform are GitHub first, others later.

Tooling support can be miserable when you had something in BitBucket, GitLab, and non-existent if isn't those top 3.

I won't put it as "just another tool". AI introduces a new kind of tool where the ownership of the resulting code is not straightforward.

If, in the dystopian future, a justice court you're subjected to decides that Claude was trained on Oracle's code, and all Claude users are possibly in breach of copyright, it's easier to nuke from orbit all disclosed AI contributions.

Kinda reminds me of a quote attributed to Bjarne Stroustrup:

"There are only two kinds of programming languages: those people always bitch about and those nobody uses"

I feel there are no absolutely "good" systems, only the ones with added compromises over time. Battle scars on a beautiful body.

How does one tell a "well-meaning" request from an attack?

There is no PIX in Portugal, or places other than Brazil.

What they have there is a Brazilian person receiving payments from another Brazilian person, only through Brazilian accounts, all happening remotely in Brazil(at least for now)

Cash is a hassle. It requires everyone to have change. You need to count the money, the cashier needs to count the money and store it. The line behind you gets longer. The end of day close-out process is longer.

Brazilians also generally don't like to walk with cash in their pockets. Only politicians usually do it, but in their underpants.

The pros is that cash is analog, no battery, internet connection or digital system needed to process it.

I clicked the story wondering if the speed of light has changed since the late 90s.

Apparently not.

It would be neat if we could take a hitchhike with it.

Probably only Project Orion would be able to catch up to its current 60kms/s speed by October.

With Microsoft opening Windows's kernel to the Xbox team, and a possible macOS-iPadOS unification, we are reaching multiple levels of climate changes in Hell. It's hailing!

Vectorization unrolling?

I didn't realize we have achieved a Kardashev Type II civilization already :)

This worries me, I believe it's unethical and irresponsible to pay-wall privacy features.

We live in a world where companies and governments are actively spying and harming those under them.

Well, some emulator devs are making huge sums of money nowadays in "donations"/crowdfunding, to much chagrin of others in the emudev scene.

It seems they got the business model right this time.

In some cases, more like 30x - 75x:
