Sounds like a great way to entrench larger companies that can pay for this advertising model. We underestimate the value small businesses get from the current ad market. It’s partly because of this value that ad fraud is rampant. Enabling s

You would hope a defense contractor was smarter than this but of course they tend not to be... threatening to put a maintainer in a report to Federal law enforcement is weak sauce.

Mainly from bad experiences with unions not in tech. It’s funny when people say, no no no the old unions are bad but the new ones will be better. Are you sure? At the end of the day, if you need to go against the decision of a union vote yo

Ah-ha! So true, never thought of it that way. I’ve seen a startup BURN through money with Kafka clusters. The kicker was that they didn’t need it.

Calling ICE a law enforcement agency is a generous interpretation..

I believe crunch is used to line-up your ducks in a row and add polish - not to take part in highly creative work that is usually done up-front in the project.

Anti-virus signatures are more complex. YARA just matches strings and bytes - but is still a very effective tool.

I had a slightly different read on the article’s conclusion - mostly because it doesn’t prescribe a solution to the issue. If you have 100K people building a service for dog walkers, and we only need 100 people to build that service.. you c

Did he say something that offended you? He shares his opinions to people who ask about it. Often his opinions are shared on his livestream - which is an environment he ultimately owns. I’m a bit shocked at your attitude with this. Your conv

They are currently closed beta testing the compiler, but it isn’t an abstract or imaginary thing.. he works with it all the time on his livestreams on Twitch.

Nope it’s good. Think about musicians, when they are junior everything is fun and interesting. Once you train your ears and learn scales suddenly you start to hear music in terms of theory. Do this long enough to become “senior” and suddenl

I agree with you, tooling is better - even much better around C/C++. The issue I see is that programs today have more bugs than ever. I don’t think that is just a symptom of more developers, but of the quality of development employers

You’re the one comparing it to Unity, Unreal and Godot. Everyone else is talking about game engines on Rust and how cool it is that this person built it.

I like Hooks a lot but I’m not sure how it’d apply in the Rust UI sense (maybe well, maybe not). It is nice to not be forced into building classes and to also ensure that specific state changes will force partial re-renders. I’m talking mor

Modern React/Relay with GraphQL fragments does this semi-well I think. Sources of data include the fragment in their GraphQL query and can blindly pass that to components which depend on it. That lets you re-use components quickly and

Then services would be stuck in a sea of technical debt. There are too many moving pieces to do that.

I’m not sure how you can compare a closed ecosystem with essential services - phone, email, text, 2FA, emergency warnings, heart monitoring, medicine tracking, banking, etc. - with a closed ecosystem that runs games. Mobile phones are how m

Grew up in a town dictated by a union... they aren’t all good. Watched a lot of people lose their only source of income because they couldn’t reach a unanimous vote during an economic downturn.

I’d take a guess the majority of OOP-haters hate it because “when you have a hammer everything looks like a nail” syndrome. That syndrome can lead to over-abstraction and tight coupling of objects.

You’re extending too much good faith to a corporation. Apple’s privacy statements are a strategic position, as is not allowing apps to mention the 30% cut. If Apple was seriously concerned about their users, they would not be concerned abou

I’d argue it does mean it is less effective at achieving correctness but the trade-off made is the whole point of Zig. Simple language that is really a better C.

by fsociety 6y ago
The difference is you have to pass an allocator to the standard library functions in Zig. That’s why it is idiomatic compared to C++.

Not a single one? By reducing the effectiveness of advertising business models, Apple can force apps to use in-app purchasing and gain that 30% cut. Additionally they do not have to display the permission modal for their own user tracking.

I and many others have never been as reliant on Uber and Lyft as we have now. I’m fortunate enough to have finances to adapt to this, but a lot of people don’t.

Doesn’t Uber pay all that too? I feel like I’m missing the point.

Yes this is a shitty patch job at best. It’s going to restrict individuals and not even solve the root issue.

It’s scary to see people come to Apple’s defense, and to talk about justifications. Our conversations should be about what is good for the consumer, not what is good for Apple. Some of the arguments are that Apple’s closed ecosystem allows
