I checked it out a while back. It still requires you to write two different UIs in two different frameworks: SwiftUI or Appkit on Mac, and WinUI on Windows. It's just that now you can write WinUI code in Swift instead of C#.

I may be misreading it, but I believe the third option the EU is expects from Meta is non-targeted advertising.

The article is missing a lot of context. The Video Game History Foundation (VGHF) has gone into this in great detail on their podcast, and slightly less detail on their blog. In summary: Every three years, the US Copyright Office considers

You're not missing anything, it's just that > Google doesn’t know or care about who’s using it at that point is incorrect. Google Drive uses OAuth. Users don't register API keys, apps do, and then users just log in with th

If you read the article, they went through the casa audit, found that it did not improve the security of their app, and came to the conclusion it wasn't worth the time and now money to do it a second time.

iggldiggl makes some good points about APIs not being flexible enough, but I also have to ask why go through the complexities of extra APIs? If I'm installing an editor and using it to open my files, I already trust it implicitly with

> With the S3 API, you usually create one or multiple buckets per app – perhaps even one bucket per user. Your app manages those buckets, so it’s natural that it has access to the whole thing. (You can ask users to plug in their own S3 b

Strong disagree. Part of my disagreement comes from the fact that the process is inconsistent and time-consuming from Google's end. If you read more of the article, you can get a glimpse of how poorly it's run. And iA have been lu

As someone who has worked on large projects in both Swift and Rust, I have to disagree with the author about error handling. It's not perfect, but Rust's use of Result and syntactic sugar is probably the best solution to error han

There's a nugget of truth that Oregon's decriminalization drew people to the state. However, free access to treatment centers wasn't part of that. Badlucklottery is correct that Oregon did not have the treatment programs, eve

AI artwork can definitely be more a distraction than a benefit for an article, especially if it's an image that you would never accept from a human artist. For me personally, I tend to notice and obsess over an image's details whe

While I freely admit I am frightened by the possible impacts of this ruling, I do not believe that it has, in this case, impaired my ability to look at the situation logically. That said, as I mentioned in a different reply, I should have s

> Can you point to this in the ruling? They made it clear that hypothetical discussions with military personal are not evidence of lack of immunity, but the actual acts performed as president are not automatically granted such immunity.

Possible? It's always absolutely been possible, but I've considered it much less likely than I do after this ruling. As we saw during the first trump administration, the army was unwilling to go along with his every desire. A gene

Except that impeachment requires acts of Congress. The SC opinion was explicitly clear that the president is immune from prosecution for ever issuing a pardon. So the president could order the military to capture or kill any representative

One benefit of Chevron was the recent banning of non-competes. If you're interested in fostering innovation, banning non-competes is a good idea. [1] The idea that Congress could and pass regulations in a timely manner is a nice one. U

Than the United States Congress? They're absolutely more effective. Congress may have been an innovative design in 1787, but it's grown into such a pile of misaligned incentives that it's almost completely dysfunctional. As f

I'm a slammer developer in a similar boat, and while I still think the 15% SPP fee is too high, it's not what really bothers me about being in the App Store. It's the Kafkaesque app review process and the inversion of power b

Interesting. Most of the time the sentences in your prompts don't even contain a predicate. I tried that with the two examples from before. Mixed results. Still had one comment telling me to finish it myself in the SNES PPU example, bu

Another example. I chatted with it for quite some time to define a toy language. I asked it to write small programs like an echo server in this toy language, and it did pretty well (though it sometimes hallucinated changes to the language).

I didn't consider prompting style. Perhaps I'm too polite? It's a bit difficult because I usually engage in conversation first to sound out whether my understanding of the problem is sound and whether it agrees on the approac

It's not quite accurate to say that "reproductive rights" is a euphemism for abortion access in the USA. If you go to rallies and listen, you'll hear a lot of talk about access to contraception also being at risk, based

I dunno about blanket statements like that. It's situational, and sometimes up to nature rather than nurture. To outside observers, I was a fairly spoiled kid. I didn't have any jobs in high school, and I had a light load of chore

Accurate wartime numbers are certainly difficult to get. I'm sure even the Russians and Ukrainians don't have accurate numbers. But I have no trouble believing that the Russians are suffering more casualties. That much seems obvio

It has never been as simple as whichever side has more people, and that has only become more true as military technology has advanced. Many lessons came out of the first two world wars about how modern warfare would be fought. One of them w
