Surely ECC already does that. You don't need encryption.

Who has cavity wall insulation removed? The effect on your heating bill is going to be much worse than a small amount of mould, and I'm unconvinced that it makes it worse anyway - one of the main causes of mould in my experience is poo

You can communicate with your Telegram friends using WhatsApp. You can't (in practice) communicate with your WhatsApp friends using Telegram.

I used to work in ultrasound, and full body scans with the body underwater is definitely feasible and probably a good idea. Bit of a weird direction for them to take though?? Also there's absolutely no way that it will be as good as MR

I agree, these things just seem to add too much mental complexity compared to the advantages. Even the sign-up process is wierd, e.g. I put in my username as `dave` but if you try to log in as `dave` it says "did you mean dave.tngld.sh

Unfortunately that EU WhatsApp interoperation thing isn't really what we wanted. I assumed it would mean that you would be able to communicate with WhatsApp contacts using a non-WhatsApp app (kind of like Pidgin back in the day). Meta

For a start, most of the world does not use text messages. They use WhatsApp. (Apart from a few countries where WeChat, Telegram or Line are more popular.) As far as I know the US is the only country that still uses SMS/RCS.

See my other comment. Git does not record moves.

Exactly what I was thinking. Though I wonder at what point do some people start to think it's actually normal to write like this and start doing it without AI ...

I would say that at least the submodule problem is more like the last 45%. Every single company I've worked in has ended up using submodules and it always ends up causing huge amounts of pain because they suck. The only alternative Git

No they're saying that it will explicitly record the move, unlike Git which has to guess (it often fails).

by IshKebab 5mo ago
They're actually saying it's better than `git mv`, because it actually records the move, unlike Git.

Rust has a load of FP-style iter/map/filter stuff that you can technically do in C++ but only if you don't mind bleeding eyes. It also borrows a lot of features from FP languages like nice tagged unions (enums), Result, eve

AI has a tendency of "just make it pass!" (which to be fair you also sometimes see from junior human devs - maybe where it learnt from!). Remember that C compiler which didn't even do basic error checking because that wasn&#x

You can't only use the accelerometers. If you do as soon as you tilt the phone it will think you are rapidly accelerating. Apple will be doing full 6 DoF sensor fusion, and then processing the result in a different way.

by IshKebab 5mo ago
It does have weird jumps if you tilt your phone though. Something's not quite right with its algorithm.

My guess would be 15 years. But I think it will take longer than that before people actually replace office workers with AI.

I think the problem is that legit apps like Netflix are super restrictive about what they'll run on. Even if you just do it through a browser you need to be using Chrome on Windows or whatever or they'll restrict you to 720p.

Fine for Netflix etc. but it's not going to let you run bittorrent or whatever without a lot of pain.
