That makes two companies who both maintain their own Chromium forks and run direct competitors to core Google search products. I wonder if we'll see Google start to close off open development on Chrome - Microsoft will likely be fine,

No, that's not what those docs say you can do. It looks like you can either use a DNS A record to point "example.com" directly to omg.lol's IP address, or use a CNAME record to point "example.com" to whatever I

But then it's not the same container, right? Either you'd need to switch your whole cloud infrastructure to run on ARM (which I see is possible now, and I'd be curious to hear if people have done that successfully) or we&#x27

Flow feels almost like the Betamax to Typescript's VHS - Flow is better technically in many ways (in addition to the things you mention, I miss being able to spread the properties of one type into another, rather than having to inherit

A lot of folks here seem to have a real rose-tinted idea of what CS degrees are actually like. If you took CS more than 10, 15 years ago, you might remember it as a scrappy, fringey degree program, maybe splintered off from Electrical Engin

The perspective is reasonable, but the tone is sarcastic and combative. Much as we might wish otherwise, humans are not beings of pure logic, and when we are 'attacked', especially in public, we shut down and become unresponsive t

I understood "climbing wall" to be a stand-in for a category of amenities which colleges offer to students to convince them to apply, which are flashy and expensive but don't actually lead to anyone learning anything.

What you’re describing sounds a lot like Second Life, which launched in 2003 and is still running. (Incidentally, to tie it back to Genshin, Second Life recently banned gacha-style transactions on its platform [0]) [0] https://ry

I think your example is interesting because it shows just how much we’ve all been spoiled by software. If you have a great idea for a piece of software, you can code it up on your own or in a small team for more-or-less ‘free’, minus time a

Very nice app! I had just started working on my own implementation of a similar app, so I'm glad I don't have to do that anymore! One thing I notice is that when using VoiceOver to read out elements on the screen, there don't

Their explanation is reductive, but it looks like more than that. For example, in the standard library [0] the definition of the Map type is a function of other types. [0]: https://github.com/yatima-inc/introit/blo

I assume by 'full match' they mean: - the pattern is found in the input - the start of the match is the start of the input - the end of the match is the end of the input By this definition, 8 spaces does not match the pattern.

Venting is not healthy - it's ineffective at best and can increase anger rather than dissipating it: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/014616720228900... https://psycnet.apa.org&#x2

All of these concerns are orthogonal to whether or not these employees are expected, tacitly or otherwise, to do this necessary work on their own time. There's no reason Apple and Google, of all the companies in the world, can't s

It’s good that you mention accessibility, because TFA does not. Nor does the Skaija repo, and nor does the repo for Jetpack Compose for Desktop [0], JetBrains’ higher-level UI kit based on it. I think it’s a mistake to suggest that “native

To be pedantic, we can define a non-Turing-complete subset of a Turing machine's instruction set, and pass combinations of these instructions to the machine, and that could still be called a program.

Append “?w=1” to the end of a Github PR URL, it’s like passing “-w” to git. (Not that that addresses all of your comment, I just wanted to share the tip. Agreed that smarter diffing would be really nice.)
