The marginal cost of writing and creative artwork is even lower than software, not being able to profit from Mickey Mouse doesn't create significant harm to society.

And what exactly do you mean by native packaging? AppImage? The dpkg system progresses at a snail's pace. It is hard to package for, unable to cleanly sandbox dependencies, and most importantly relegates application updates to third pa

Deutsch is one of the fathers of quantum computing. It is like telling Claude Shannon to get off your lawn because he didn't directly invent 5G.

Depends on how much value you place on performance. For long running processes like web servers, the JVM still reigns supreme.

Most replies here are missing the forest for the trees. The oft not acknowledged reason is that the JS ecosystem has a developer experience that scales a lot better than other languages. Your Java/Python/Dart/Ruby (or C++ if

The truly successful bootcamp grads often have a background in an adjacent field like physics, math, or EE. The ones that can thrive after simply going through a web dev bootcamp alone without a STEM background are very very rare. The only

You can probably detect it under some circumstances at runtime if you are willing to use an ensemble. The more models you use the harder it gets to compromise all.

The problem is database. Distributed serverless-first SQL like spanner, Cockroach, PlanetScale are very very expensive.

It is also a lot easier to get cancelled and deplatformed. There needs to be the equivalent of a golden handcuff/insurance for crowdfunded content creators.

AWS has a decent (corporate) solution to this. They simply outsource account recovery and user attestation to the state and the finance industry. You stake money on a financial medallion (a contractual instrument that's a guarantee of

React Native apps are slow if not engineered well. Naïve implementations of RN apps tend to scale really badly. FB is fixing this with their new architecture (Fabric Render and TurboModule) but the rollout and adoption is even slower than t

Uploading to package managers (or convincing said managers to package your upstream, this is a particularly big problem for fragmented OSes like Linux desktops) also don't scale easily from the developer's side compared to configu

The hard parts are almost always the robotic arm and other similar mechanisms such as legs. A wheeled rover base is pretty much the TodoMVC for robotics.

If you a cloud host, you need a way to sandbox hostile code. Firecracker allows you to do that (it is a configuration of the traditional KVM virtualization system except lighter and faster, instead of booting a VPS which can take minutes, y

I think you are just unhappy with the OS status quo and want something new. You aren't really interested in having Unix as the mainstream OS beyond its novelty and potential impacts. This is rather telling. > OS X and Linux are

I have bad news for you. Here's a potential algorithm: 1) Fine-tune a language model to come up with words that fit the crossword descriptive sentence. 2) Problem is reduced to a constraint satisfaction problem. Implementation is left

The problem is that when lifetimes cause you problems, it can force the entire feature development to stop until the problem is fixed. There is no reasonable escape hatch or alternative (clone doesn't always work).

That's just kicking the ball down the road. It is more reasonable to expect one developer to perform sufficient security work than to expect N users, some of whom may be non-technical, to check verified packages.
