Does Textualize have a good example application? I was impressed by the demos (moreso that the company is somehow funded!), but I couldn't find any actual real world application using it yet. Also reliance on the mouse in the demos mad

GitHub made a huge fuss in a blog post about their compliance with the ePrivacy directive not more than 2 years ago. I personally found their approach and interpretation interesting and unique, so this change seems noteworthy for that reaso

Over a certain size, some level of abstraction will usually produce a meaningful reduction in code size in most applications. It's possible for some applications a virtual DOM is the abstraction to achieve that, although I don't t

This is precisely what I meant by pointless: outside of 20somethings and certain locales (particularly large cities), alternate lifestyles exist where parents simply may not want this for their children. I'd suggest arguments for or ag

I think you need to qualify "in Europe", as a European it is certainly not true of any place I ever lived "in Europe". That aside, it would be nice if we could survive just a single thread about a child protection featur

This comment and parent comment don't appear to have read the article. It's specifically targetting C++ compatibility, that means compatible threading model, memory model, ABI, type system, ... Rust has none of these. For every li

Deflationary fines are a hilarious idea. If you don't comply, we'll take 10% the value of your company and publicly set fire to it, enriching all consumers in the process

Many orgs buy AWS for the unified billing and control plane. That part is fused shut and precisely addressed by the text (not quoted above). I can't as a third party build a service that competes with AWS and give it the usability that

Does anyone know if the definition of "gatekeeper" extends to infrastructure services like AWS or Cloudflare? > A small number of large undertakings providing core platform services have emerged with considerable economic power

This is a distinction that will be increasingly lost on EU regulators, more so than it already is today.

It doesn't look like there's much margin to be gained with these, the smallest is priced only slightly cheaper than their Ryzen machines on a threads-per-buck basis, but comes with substantially lower memory per thread. It looks l

Margins on these are almost certainly insane, and they appeal to young folk. Don't even need to do the math to know why even large retailers like Tesco are replacing their stocks with them

We're actively discussing this at the moment, and the only solution we have is judicious bugging of a real 'adult' phone for the kid. If they're old enough to know Santa Claus doesn't exist, they'll also be old
