Mixing truth with lies is a critical component of disinformation.

I think these are still trivial though in that they don't use any external resources like a database. Are there no examples that do that?

TV, especially broadcast TV, is not some high art form. It's a way to pass the hour or two before bed in exchange for watching some ads. People like the shows to keep going because it's not the storylines that pull them in, it&#x2

I think you have some rose-colored glasses with Seinfeld. The post Larry David seasons are not nearly as good. They tried to mimic his style with over the top storylines but didn't know how to weave them together like he does and none

I'm seriously worried about this generation's inability to stop scrolling their social feeds nonstop. You don't have to start a company in your free time. You don't have to create things or contribute to the world. But p

Turbo pascal was single pass, parse and compile.

There's also Gigalixir which runs on top of AWS and gives you a Heroku like experience.

By contrast I'd rather not go back to meticulously decorating source files to add types where they aren't needed, so Elixir seems like the perfect language to me.

You're conflating abstractions with magic. They are not the same. Magic is not just an abstraction we don't bother to understand. Magic is magic. A car is not magic. It does exactly what it purports to do and nothing else. David B

Apparently it depends on the type of app and streaming apps are one allowed to do so. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24311230

Did they change this? They used to disallow charging more on iOS.
133.
by Touche 6y ago
Yes, you can't charge more for an app on the App Store than you charge on Android. edit: this used to be the case, it's possible this has changed and I didn't know it.

Does Microsoft dictate what a publisher can charge for games on other platforms? Because Apple does.

by Touche 6y ago
IANAL and I cannot judge the legal merits of this case. I did read Apple's response though and I found the argument not a compelling justification for their practices. A big part of their response is to justify the need for the 30% as

Parties want to increase enfranchisement when they are in a position to gain from it. Once they've gained power they usually no longer need the help that increased enfranchisement would provide (survivorship bias). This is the same pro

You're assuming those in power want to increase enfranchisement.

I'm not expecting investigative journalism here. I just expect the article about a product launch to be mostly about the product being launched. Like pull out your phone install the app and take a screenshot or two. List what it does a

These types of articles are so frustrating and show why media is failing so badly. This is an article about a product launch that: * Barely talks about the product at all. * No demos of what the product does. * Not even a single picture of

It's not "slightly" more risky than the flu, nice try. And I'm not sure what revolution you are talking about.

by Touche 6y ago
Yes exactly. This has taught us that we need to take other viruses more seriously than we have. Maybe we should take some measures at the height of bad flu seasons. Maybe we should just always wear masks on flights and other crowded place

What's your point?

So navigating from one page to another with an animation is not something that can be done in a secure way? Really? If so then the web really is dead.

If you replace the entire body wouldn't there be a blanking that occurs regardless? Or does the browser not repaint the parts of the page that look the same in the before and after?

What specific alternative is Mozilla proposing that solves the same use-cases that portals seek to solve?

I'm trying to understand how Turbolinks makes things faster. What I'm gathering is that it's the merging of <head> that helps. Because if you have stylesheets or scripts in your head that have already ran using Turbolin

by Touche 6y ago
Yeah, but what does that have to do with what I wrote? My question is, if HTTP can now do streaming and all of these other useful things that you previously got with WebSockets, why do we need a WebTransport API? Why don't we just use

You can read the response body as a stream, so that part works. You can't (last I checked) write to your request body. That's the only missing piece.
