How many CVEs came out of different file format handling across platforms ? Including shit in browsers has insane impact.

Then you'd have to pay for viewer acquisition part and no way in hell you're getting that kind of a platform with creators paying for development/hosting without advertising.

If you're just using YouTube for hosting - there's other ways to pay for that, Vimeo comes to mind.

That's not hallucinating that's just missing parts of implementation. What's more problematic is when you ask "how do I do X using Y" and then it comes up with some plausibly sounding way to do X, when in fact it&#x

Unless you think native UI runs on magic - it's not that hard to outperform native rendering - you have to be way less general with a bespoke framework (up to a certain point of complexity).

At this point it feels like this argument is dead an buried. So many non-native apps on every platform, most platforms even have multiple official GUI toolkits/widget styles so even first party apps are inconsistent.

Meh - personally I see copilot as a mild boost/auto complete++ - helps me type out stuff that's obvious in context but needs to be typed out anyway. I've had it disabled when switching between environments and sometimes not n

A big reason copilot spread so fast is because people already trust GitHub with their code - enabling AI doesn't really modify risk. If GH wanted to break TOS and train on your code they could, even without copilot, if you're usin

Who says that's a bad thing ? Sometimes things are good enough and just need to be vetted and maintained.

I wonder how fragile you must be to have a breakdown because a piano was out of tune, at a degree where it's not perceptible to anyone but experts.

by rafaelmn 2y ago
This is a bad analogy because food is dual purpose - nutrition and enjoying the taste. Music is just about subjective enjoyment - you will not get cancer if the piano was not in tune - and if you can't tell the difference then it is ir

The main benefit of having a car is that it's right there the moment you need it, you can take it as far as you need to and you can load it up with whatever you need - none of this applies to waymo or a taxi without getting too expensi

Yes - when your argument for insanely high margins (look at net profit and compare to market average) is that you are locking down the store for the benefit of the user and not to abuse your monopolistic position. Either they are abusing ma

I was refuting the part about typescript (language and the implementation/language server) being a glorified lint - the value proposition is way higher than that. Even other dynamic languages started moving in this direction due to the

Not sure - they had power/thermal envelope in desktop parts and no difference in performance AFAIK.

by rafaelmn 2y ago
That's what I'm thinking - they make trade-offs to reach peak performance in desktop designs that don't translate optimally to laptops and when you start from mobile designs you probably made the opposite trade-offs - that wo

by rafaelmn 2y ago
From you link - Intel is topping the performance charts (alongside AMD in SC) - they probably tune power usage agressively to achieve these results. I would guess it's more to do with coming from desktop CPU design to mobile vs. phones

If you have a test that completes with the expected outcome and hits the expected code paths you have a working test - I'd say that heuristic will get you really close with some tweaks.

It's based on automated tools and evaluation (test runner, coverage, lint) ?
627.
by rafaelmn 2y ago
But for writing tests that's less of an issue. You start with known good/bad code and ask it to write tests against a spec for some code X - then the evaluation criteria is something like did the test cover the expected lines and

Code coverage exists. Shouldn't be hard at all to tune the parameters to get what you want. We have really good tools to reason about code programmatically - linters, analyzers, coverage, etc.

F# has it's own warts, tooling isn't as polished, stuff like type providers sound really cool but suck in practice IMO, file ordering being relevant for compilation is bleh... Every time I try to use it I'm left with a feelin
