Let's not forget the media. Renting a boat and talking to people at the port to see what's going on should be right up an investigative journalist's alley. The Silicon Valley guy is doing the job of not just one power center,

Does this feature have a general name? Swift users seem to call it "dot syntax", which is not a good name. I want to google "C++ should have <this feature>" and find a proposal from 2013 that never moved forward, b

Would be very interesting to hear from a Finn about this. - Is the labor shortage real, or is the available labor simply too expensive for local tastes? - The Finnish education system was held up as the most successful in the world when tha

No, 2% is the percentage of US population that identifies as Native Americans, but it's a highly mixed population. The percentage of actual NA DNA in the US gene pool is certainly much less than 1% at this point.

The funny thing is that Carbon was based on the modified Toolbox APIs that were intended for Copland! There used to be a header with a big comment block telling the whole history. AFAIR, they had tried changing the System 7 APIs so they cou

Surprisingly readable! It seems quite usable if I move the screen a bit closer (at the wrist of my extended arm), but it gives me eyestrain at my preferred distance (at the tip of the fingers). Maybe I need better glasses... or better eyes.

The problem here is not the AI, but the incentive design. The Chinese netizens who take this as inspiration to comment on the incentives in their own lives (under the 996 system) are the insightful ones, more son than those who worry about

Is there really that much API churn on Android? I have a cruddy old app originally written for API 16 and it still works. It's not on the play store, though.
