It's betting that the size of Apple's UK market is larger than the impact Apple's privacy marketing has on its worldwide market. Those odds aren't obvious to me

Nanite is such an obvious idea in hindsight, I wonder why it took so long for someone to build it. Were GPUs just not powerful enough yet, even though it actually reduces the GPU's work? Do you have to store the entire high-res mesh in

Apple Intelligence is a nothingburger so far. We'll see if that changes with app intents, or if Siri ever actually gets better (it still mis-hears me on a regular basis!), but I'm getting pessimistic

Is there any non-primitive JS type that has non-referential equality for ==?

Long-needed, though I think it'll take the ecosystem quite a while to catch up and standardize around it For one: a couple years ago my company migrated from moment to dayjs, which was a huge improvement and carried most of the benefit

Are these always-opaque where the "screens" are and only transparent (or not transparent?) elsewhere? If so, I bet it's the intermingling of transparency + overlaid pixels that's hard about the other ones

Thank you. The title is confusing

I'm having trouble understanding the difference between this tech and the leading-edge AR tech like Meta's Orion glasses, which supposedly cost $10,000 to make Why are these $500 and high-res enough to play games on? What's s

The intrinsic hardness of UI programming is representing state and state transitions. OP's problem would be much easier in a full language with things like structs and dynamic lists, but it still wouldn't be trivial People sometim

People are being very uncharitable in the comments for some reason This is a short and sweet article about a very cool real-world result in a very new area of tooling possibilities, with some honest and reasonable thoughts Maybe the "S

Wow, people are being very uncharitable in this comment section

Yeah, that's what I expected. Which doesn't negate RISC-V's value, but does mean the original article said some misleading things

Very similar premise to Rich Hickey's "Simple Made Easy" (frequently linked on HN but felt especially relevant) https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy/

I have no horse in this race, but there's a long history of corporations egregiously abusing DMCA, so it feels within the realm of possibility unless you have specific evidence to the contrary

Very cool to see all these quality of life improvements. I haven't kept up with Java for several years. Still, the dependencies thing seems like an issue (as it is in Python) Deno has been my go-to scripting tool lately. Similar benefi

Yeah, mine was via a corporate policy. God knows how it decides such things, but it's not a message I've ever seen before, so there could be something wrong with the site that other security software might flag

This is wild. Using SSH like a web browser, wonderful concept Edit: Oh wow, and people don't even have to make an account because their SSH user is their account!

Sounds lovely! Just fyi I tried clicking the link, and my work laptop flagged it as "malware". I'm not sure why, but thought I would let you know

So it's not a fundamentally different use-case, it's just an admission that shell scripts suck at what they do?

Forget Result, just allow the type system to express non-nullable object references. Use the same layout, just let the compiler know when something is guaranteed to exist and force null-checking when it isn't This doesn't cover ev

React has a dizzying number of concepts now. I don't love the direction it's taken the past few years; it used to be a really minimal and elegant core, but these days it's hard to keep up with all the abstractions

I worked at a Java shop for a while, with a small and new-ish codebase built by experienced devs, and most of the errors we encountered were null pointer exceptions. It was always just, "alright where do we need to add another if-state

This is my #1 issue with Go, by a mile. If it weren't for this I'd probably consider using it for projects, but with this I can't conscionably do so

Good to know! Yeah I guess that's the inverse of the OP: one account spread to multiple bank accounts vs multiple accounts dumped into one bank account
