So turn it all into a state run company instead? Your points sound as if that would be a potential solution. But that would have its own issues with somewhat twisted incentive structures.

Maybe, but the services might also be allowed to offer completely custom APIs. The proposal isn't quite clear on that. Also, at this stage it's just a draft that has a long way to go until it can come into effect and the chances t

I am not dismissing anything early. Journalists press law enforcement regularly on what crimes the existing intrusive measures helped to solve and the answers are consistently platitudes about how useful e.g. hacking into suspect's d

This has actually been a staple in the Dragon Age series since part one. I don't recall if they toned it down in the second part, though. Also, I would love to know how many tweaks and hacks these selectable behaviors need to work toge

Exceptions for law enforcement have proven to be a very slippery slope in the past. Police is constantly trying to erode restrictions around tools that are only available for serious crimes and unfortunately also has a record of successfu

Please forget "Extract Method" as an example. It's simply far too trivial. Imaging extracting a new superclass or interface from a class with 100 methods and you need to pick the set of methods to extract. You can't do

Ok, so you're not pointing to an implementation of the feature that I asked about. Instead, you're asking me to implement it as a special case. That's backwards. You're effectively confirming that there needs to be featu

How does emacs display a dialog where you can select all the methods to select along with some additional UI elements for extra options?

That's not what the draft says. If a provider or service has been identified as a gatekeeper per the criteria laid out in the draft, they need to make the service interoperable with services of other "business users" upon req

For example, how do you use a feature like "Navigate to derived symbols" without the required UI integration (prompt for which derived symbol to go to, opening up the correct code location...)? How do you define an "Extract i

The technical design isn't the user experience. IDEs are an integrated user experience. It literally doesn't matter to the user how nicely decoupled everything is or isn't under the hood if the end results are indistinguishab

Pidgin likely won't have a big comeback. The messaging service providers can still tie them to their own proprietary clients. They would only be forced to forward messages between their servers as I understand it. I'm not sure whi

This is explained in one of the DVD extras on my copy of Terminator 2. I don't remeber if it's in the director's commentary of the movie or one of the extra videos and I don't have time to look it up. But it's defin

I believe the parent wants to know how a sequence of IR instructions with alternating modes is translated to the target. My guess would be that explicit state state changes show up in the generated machine code.

And build a simple system that doesn't directly forward messages to each recipient outside their specific working hours. Thus, your colleagues halfway across the country may get your message immediately, but those halfway across the gl

.NET 6 seems like a pretty good release with a few cool new features. But it's funny how the infographic in the post mentions MAUI for desktop development, but the "desktop" keyword in the text is referring to the WinForms gi

This sounds nice on paper. There's just one problem: you mention one overarching framework. That's the game engine. And no matter how you slice it, it's going to be a beast.

Good points! On a side note, I've been going through games I've played that had excellent sound and some of them (e.g. the Half Life series) are among the better games of all times. The one prominent exception in my library would

Game engines inevitably become monoliths because you need that level of integration between components. If you examine a modern game, you'll generally find about 3 different layers in the runtime: - individual subsystems: aside from th

Somehow, it is completely counterintuitive to people that a coherent soundscape is important to establish a feeling of user presence in the rendered environment. Ambient sounds, footsteps, tiny impact noises etc. are essential to make a vir

Are you saying the standard CPUJID registers are different between the two types of cores? I'd imagine that that would break a lot more software.

This is most certainly a check against either virtualization or the presence of a debugger observing the process. If the maximum performance of the core you're running on varies significantly over time, chances are that your process is

The publishers absolutely do have the data, but they sit on it. You can see that they actively try out variations on DRM in games from time to time as test balloon. Look for the odd titles without DRM or DRM implementations different from t

Are you expecting to get the laptop back? If so, the data will be accessible the moment you mount that partition again.

I wish you good luck! This is a very ambitious project. Just one word of advice based on my own experience: open source projects for creatives are a peculiar niche. Success isn't really based on technical merit or usability. The projec

Well, if you want an open source DAW, there's Ardour. I don't use it, but it is fairly complete.

Unless I'm completely mistaken, even a basic tool like quantization is dependent on the time signature. Time signatures crop up in all kinds of other things, too. More advanced arpeggiators, sequencers, delays etc. understand tempo and

No, being able to use different time signatures is essential in music. Time signatures are a basic building block required to define the vast majority of musical styles in the world. All of the western classical and popular music builds its

Aspirations are fine, but you need to separate aspirations from the status quo in your communications. The HN headline fails in that regard.

How is this titled "fully featured" when it's still in its early stages with very little code in the repository (and most of what is there looking like an exercise in software architecture)? Is the "it's in rust&quo
