Most of the demo fails they had during today's keynote felt more like beta supporting software and bad network kinds of failures. The only failure I saw that felt more like a generative AI-level failure was one of the hot air balloon i

I mean, it does matter, and also HackerNews is the only bubble I interact with regularly that still holds on to the Twitter name like gollum and the one ring. My understanding is that HN has rules against editorialization of headlines. This

I would argue that isn't a roundabout; its just a road. A "roundabout" is a kind of intersection. One characteristic intersections generally have is that traffic should not stop upon entering the intersection. The picture you

Sure, fine, let me rephrase my issue in a way which changes literally nothing about it but maybe outlines why its still a problem: I'm sitting at an intersection trying to go left, but with the intention to turn right and 180 around th

Absolutely, but you end up in weird situations such as with two-lane roads, car in the right lane stops and waits but its not obvious if the incoming car in the left lane will stop, so you can't start walking; or once you make it to th

You'll notice this quickly in cities with large numbers of roundabouts. Overall and on average traffic is absolutely faster, flows better, and is safer; but in times of high volume you can find yourself in situations where you're

You're probably right; its hard to say when speaking in retrospect and on hypotheticals. Ultimately I tend to feel that the success of Xbox 360 is predominately attributable to the early failures of the PlayStation 3. PS3 was WAY too e

The entire story of Xbox is: If Halo didn't exist, Xbox would have died years ago. Microsoft is fundamentally culturally incompatible with basically any product that isn't Enterprise B2B. The stories from e.g. Seamus Blackley out

I don't feel that's relevant when app developers are free to recognize that as a drawback of Play Integrity and not use it (which to my understanding is the case, but I have not done android development in many years). On the one

I'm not sure I agree, to be honest. As far as I'm aware: Google doesn't force app developers distributing on the Play Store to opt-in to Play Integrity; Google doesn't force app developers to exclusively distribute throu

Eh, not really scrum/agile. These are IMO bad ways to build software, especially when taken to the dictionary-definition extreme of the process, but they're not what I'm talking about. I'm more-so referencing e.g. Amazon

I don't feel its possible for software to be built toward the end of itself. All software has users, even if that user is just yourself (the author of the software). There's always a stakeholder who stands as the impetus for Why s

So you don't have to manage a cache, but you do have to manage a network-connected sidecar service? You can make the "N programming languages" argument for why this isn't just a library, but they already have the aws-sdk

Hot take: Answering "Yes" to the question "Is a hot dog a sandwich" feels like it could be a test for autism; obsession with logically categorizing things, beyond common sense.

The thing about Kubernetes is: Its a cloud in a box. It re-implements a ton of the functionality that cloud platforms already offered. But, no one wants to host their own kubernetes, so you go to AWS/GCP/Azure, and you just end up

Linux is legit at 99% nowadays, and you actually have to hunt for examples where compatibility leaves a game at unplayable. I think something like Call of Duty might still be weird, just due to anticheat. Give it a shot; you probably won&
