That's the thing: to be frank, China is "smart" with its use of oppression. It doesn't oppress most people unless they go outside the bounds it's set in place. Unlike the average totalitarian state, it provides most

At an individual level, China is very good at keeping things on the down-low, keeping out reporters, etc, so I don't think there's a lot of mainstream awareness of the problem. At a nation-state level, the sad truth is that the we

Huh. Does that apply to WASM too or just to binding from Node?

When Android apps can freely draw over other apps without warning, privacy permissions feel almost like security-theater.

What I find is that my psyche is generally in one of two states: being short on energy and therefore needing to rest and recuperate (mentally, or emotionally, not necessarily physically), or having extra energy and therefore feeling motivat

It's one thing to write a web service in a different language for performance; it's a much bigger question to move logic from your client to your server for the sake of performance. Both from a user experience standpoint and from

Personally I miss the dives, the open mic nights, the hole-in-the-wall restaurants that have been slowly getting replaced with gleaming Ikea-fever-dream "fast-casual artisan eateries" and the like. (If I'm being honest the la

Probably because of shortened commutes. But if many commutes disappear altogether, that could offset it.

Robinhood has had a lot of screwups lately. At what point are they legally liable? Are they not held to a higher standard of accountability than normal tech companies due to being a financial institution?

Interesting info, but overly opinionated. I tried turning off font smoothing just now but the lack of boldness made everything appear dimmer, and I had to strain my eyes a bit when reading my code. Also I use my MacBook without a separate s

That's because trading, unlike the running of a large software service, is regulated.

This is what I'm wondering too. I can't imagine Apple just deciding as a one-off case to do a secret, arbitrary shakedown. It sounds more like a dispute over their written rules, which can still be questionable, but much less so.

The story is admittedly different when we're talking about legacy games that are no longer supported. Even if pushing the button is easy, if there's nobody there to do it, that doesn't help. But the good news it that game lif

Very few people use Macs for gaming, and many of those that do probably just play Apple Arcade games (which I'm sure will have a smooth upgrade path). And most of the games people play that are on Steam are (these days) built with ei

Do those ARM systems have graphics chips, or are they rendering the UI on the CPU? Modern x86 processors have integrated graphics for GUI basics, video, etc. Linux desktops can theoretically run off of just the CPU, just... not super well.

Any static type system prevents you from doing some subset of things that you could do with a dynamic type system. But there are obviously lots of things you get in exchange for that power. Type system evolution, usually, is about trying to

What does "The U.S." mean? There have to be specific servers, right? Or is it just a blanket attack against random U.S. IPs?

I'm ADD myself, and a night owl most of the time, and you've got me wondering if I get into a groove in the evenings because I'm less hyperactive and more relaxed. There's a kind of peace to the night time for me. Mayb
