For chat apps, once you've got the conversation thread open, typing is pretty easy. I think the more surprising thing is that people don't use voice to access deeply nested features, like adding items to calendars etc which would

Partly because the EU law's phrasing wasn't as "I'll know it when I see it", and partly because apple seems to not care about the spirit of the law and just want to exploit its users. The japanese law's phrasin

Comparing all "tiny fractions" as if they're identical is nonsense. "Why wouldn't apple make an iphone mini even though it only targets a tiny fraction of people? They already only target a tiny fraction of the livi

I admit I was wrong in my understanding of iMessages capabilities. I remembered its search sucking, and also it not working on all my devices, so I quit using it and regurgitated a stale criticism. Still, the search is useless to me if I ca

As a sibling said, Go has all the same deadlocks, livelocks, etc you point out that rust doesn't cover, in addition to also having data-races that rust would prevent. But, also, Go has way worse semantics around various things, like mu

You're using Go's race detector wrong if you expect it to actually catch all races. It doesn't, it can't, it's a best effort thing. The right way to use the go race detector is: 1. Only turn it on in testing. It&#x2

Having different registers, the "everyday language", and the "more formal, fancy sounding register", is far from unique to English, and I'd dare-say the majority of broadly used languages have some form of this. In

Even if you use channels to send things between goroutines, go makes it very hard to do so safely because it doesn't have the idea of sendable types, ownership, read-only references, and so on. For example, is the following program saf

I'm not surprised. Let's say you've got a metric aggregation service, and that service crashes. What does that result in? Metrics get delayed until your orchestration system redeploys that service elsewhere, which looks like
