I've never done something like it but I'd assume there are lots and lots of gotchas with plans to deploy zero maintenance devices. It would make sense to me that nonzero, predictable, acceptable maintenance is better than a plan f

I disabled all my extensions while trying to debug random logouts while I was away from the computer, and realized I didn't miss them. (Turns out the issue was a faulty hard drive)

Another possible reason might be to attract and retain talent? Speculating wildly but I'd guess some top researchers would value having their work be the industry standard rather than internal.

It's limited to a small number of cities with optimal conditions and every ride has a human supervising. They're still spending R&D, rather than making a profit. That's a demo.

I don't understand people who think an imperfect product provides linearly less value when it obviously provides exponentially less in most use cases. If ChatGPT can replace a team of software engineers why didn't you replace that

But in general the better something is the harder it is to improve. From an outsiders' perspective it looks like we've had a series of achievements where AI worked impressively well considering it isn't a human. But afterward

Why are AI people always trying to convince me to do something now based on an argument that it will work later? Regardless of whether you're right a working model six months from now is not a working model now. Wouldn't your hypo

Everyone knows exactly what the title means, and it's a perfectly reasonable use of the English language. "School district bans book" obviously has an implied "(from schools)" afterwards.

I was quite skeptical up until now. But this article includes legitimate reasons Android has different API needs, like the absence of reliable long-lived processes. If they actually finish and release this then I'll be convinced they h

So it covers basically all use cases in the USA and most private commercial use cases in the EU. Seems reasonably useful for many people. Most countries that accept eSignatures don't require digital certificates. There aren't many

Obviously it's impossible to do a reasonably unskewed poll in Crimea right now. However in other parts of Ukraine the number of people who consider themselves Russian drastically decreased when Russia started shelling their homes. So i

I'm seeing no changes since 2013 and no issues either open or closed. Do you know what sort of state the project is in right now?

The USB-c male connector is deliberately designed to break so that if you stress a plugged in setup you'll break the cable instead of the connector soldered into your phone, which is harder to repair. Maybe they misinterpreted that?

"no control of file handles at all" seems like an unfair categorization of the actual issue: file handles backing the JavaScript object are closed when the object is GC'ed, which may not happen immediately after it's don

Not necessarily. Making that statement, setting up in a country that has enough issues to make it plausible, and then not paying the bribe would also make a lot of sense. See also: no log VPNs that actually were logging. Worst case scenario

This is a general principal in the Rust standard library, but it is confusing at first. Similarly you can construct a HashMap without restriction but calling `.get` on it requires the key to implement Hash. I'll let someone else clarif

I can see why this would seem to be a clever way to implement passwordless sticky pseudonymous usernames, but it is indeed quite stupid.

Oh absolutely this sucks. Just not sure Anytype is any better. It doesn't support sharing, for example. Logseq + SyncThing just works on Android, you simply point both at the same folder. Presumably that's impossible on iPhone.

To be fair this looks like an open source project that aims to be download and go some day, not something there today

Not to write the classic Dropbox comment, but can't you just do this with any of the notion alternatives based around local markdown files (i.e. obsidian, logseq). Just have local e2e encryption on your laptop and point the app at a sh

I find it annoying that we have these endless debates in the US where it's assumed that if there's some magnitude it of course must be more than epsilon. I would be interested in if anyone can give a example where the friction inc

That's not an RCE, it's a DoS. As the article describes most Windows terminal emulators just call SetWindowText when they get the set window title escape code. For some reason Windows implements that function very inefficiently so

16 years ago it was plausible to say Dropbox was going to be a massive success in the future. Now we're in the future we know it wasn't.

Not having explicitly legacy is probably often better, but I think it could frequently be effectively the same. If any non-rigourous scoring is done by people who know about legacy and whose bosses can be contacted informally by legacy pare
