Now we just have to wait a few decades to see if it has sustained impact!

The public has no control over the incentives of private corporations, so their goals could change at any time.

I mean, this is the nature of hype, including scientific paradigms, fast fashion, music tastes. But this narrative obscures underlying causes and basically assumes the underlying cause is human love of hype. However, this isn’t a 2d circle

To be honest, I don’t feel like these sites even know what to ask. This may be the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect in action.

You’re right, I think I was conflating concepts here. My bad. I would edit if I could.

This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the software, though. You can easily lock down linux for a given phone if that’s your goal (at face value anyway).

They seem fundamentally different. Fuschia is realtime and, I think, engineered toward embedded and mobile at the moment. Redox is more about cleaning up unix (that’s my impression, anyway). If you squint, it’s like qnx vs linux/bsd, I

IIRC there are native rust bindings for syscalls. The syscalls themselves are implemented in C++. I have no idea about the user space, but my impression is that rust is a first level language for things like the ui. EDIT: it looks like they

You’re basically describing Fuschia. I believe they have some of the main haiku kernel (probably a bad description) developers.

An acceptable risk for boeing is not an acceptable risk for society. This is the whole point of regulation.

It’s not at all clear flying an unsafe plane is necessary to make a profit.

Ehh, the economic positive to children is sometimes hard to work in. But I can’t look at family businesses with six children “employed” as a straightforward calculation. That was once the norm, and is no longer commonplace in the US. I imag

Not to mention, I believe time travel is an officially supported functionality for redux, if you choose to use that.

Do you have a link for this? I’d like to read more.

State management seems like inherently a different problem to solve than the problem React solves. What front-end framework out there has a single state management pattern that works for all sizes? It’s easy to point out frustrating things

People need to lobby for laws protecting consumer interests. There just isn’t any large coporation willing to foot the bill here.

I’ve found google maps offline mode + the avoid highways feature can have good results. It also tends to have shitty results in highly interconnected areas, but it works alright for the country.

Not everywhere; even the raiders fans in Oakland appear to be OK with letting the team move to LV because of how shitty the team has treated the city.

That doesn’t mean they can’t be expected to support a meaningful subset. Honestly I don’t even know what they’re thinking here: they have no real alternative.

Actually, terrorism is really not a bad description of trolling, if hyperbolic. But these pranks seem to go beyond trolling, too.

Personally, the linux UI is a little too weird for me to recommend (and I work 100% on linux intentionally!)—things like keybindings using ctrl rather than cmd/super, the insert functionality (I know zero people who intentionally use t

This seems fairly similar to the Cambridge Analytica revelation—it seems they’re reporting on access specifically granted to these apps by the user, but the data is not technically restricted from access the way you might expect when humans

Who doesn’t occasionally do anti-Google pieces? I’d be more skeptical if they didn’t! That said, this does smell like a hit job.

This only makes sense if there's essentially a dock on every block. I'm all for this, but I don't see my friends who drive relishing the 5% reduction in parking or whatever.

by drb91 8y ago
The bikes are super heavy; they require docking, which somewhat removes the purposes of using them to get from point to point in the first place. I don't know many people who aren't already cyclists who use it. Off hand I'd s

Err, why is it illegal? They're more than fast enough to keep up with bike traffic in the city, especially if there are dedicated lanes.
