that is a graph of growth, but they started from different baselines, e.g. Hungary was famously known as "the happiest barrack in the communist camp". Slovakia and Hungary have trailed % growth compared to Poland, but they are far

There's a large set of jobs in everything that expanded operations in Poland, for salary reasons, e.g. automotive (Stellantis, Volkswagen, MAN) electronics (Electrolux, Whirlpool), food (Ferrero)... But Poland did well capturing them

Which you do, except they're a lot smaller than Poland.

But that's not really meaningful in a "largest economy" point of view.

It does have the downside of requiring "trusted computing" (aka iOS and Android) on the client though.

This is not that kind of caning, it's basically a harder form of slapping kids, not the one they give criminals that breaks the skin.

Yeah this seems like the kind of punishment that was also common in the west in 1800-1900. I remember my parents still talking of getting hit with a ruler in the 50s tho the practice was technically forbidden since 1860 or so.

I re-read Pinocchio with my (bilingual) kids a couple years ago, and I think this article is spot on for some things: it is a bit more weird then I remembered, the Italian reads almost contemporary (except for a few turn of phrases and odd

indeed, Prof Barbero it is! Good job digging up the reference :)

It was the same thing with OOP, TDD, agile development, C, C++, Rust, ORMs.. Whenever something impacts a ton of people you will get some who gain a lot from it and some who don't, and they're generally unable to relate to the oth

It'd be more a return to the past, we still had a lot of latin in science a couple hundred years ago. One very fun thing I discovered recently is that Dante (and presumably other people in the middle ages) thought that Latin was a cons

I felt the same about early 00s Google. It will probably not last forever.

> until #47 finally succumbs to dementia how would that look like? I mean, more than what it looks like now. The man is spouting nonsense every single day.

just a note: the RSF World Press Freedom Index is not based on hard data or sound statistics, it's based on a few questionnaires sent to journalists picked by RSF itself. How many it's unclear, but it was ~150[0] some years ago, o

it's the other way around: the app mandates usage of ios and google because they already provide those lock downs.

A sentence. Another sentence. Not a subordinate. Just single verb sentences. But tbh I didn't see it much on OP's comment.

The EU age id app is this, with some extra privacy hurdles (the id is only on your phone not on the remote server).

I think everybody does this to some extent. Like, I remember someone telling me at one point that the thing in Head over Heels was a Dalek with prince Charles head. I didn't know either of those.

You can also introduce subtle bugs in your own feature development, and if you change formatting there it's also at the front of your mind. I think the main argument for doing a big bang rewrite is that you have a defined before/a

Nah the article says it's rust and calling into a C library for parsing.

The recent article explained the bun patch would have been refused on technical merits as it's intrinsically incorrect, to be able to work properly it required some language changes.

> They dumped microformats and standards I'm not sure they killed microformats, they still support hReview, hProduct etc, don't they? And they pushed schema.org. I wrote a trivial recipe importing tool that just works™ on a bun

I think it caught on well enough, platforms such as Wordpress still support it out of the box (I just checked my blog, it works). I liked Atom's clean design but it felt it was mostly pushed by Google (I may be misremembering) and in t

How is this the hyperscalers fault? YouTube had atom feeds and I don't think Amazon and Microsoft have relevant syndication. Meta is surely responsible but that's it, imo.

I can give you an example based on two failed national airlines I experienced for years: Italy's Alitalia and Hungary's Malév. Customers hated them. They were top examples of when public management fails. They were expensive for t

Netflix has a pretty entertaining series on old toys, and there's an episode on He-Man, which, among other tidbits, explains that Battle-cat was actually a random tiger from a different toy line (Big Jim in the Jungle IIRC) with a pain

I hadn't heard of this china regulation. Perhaps we will have a "Beijing regulatory effect" positively impacting the world like the Bruxelles and California ones.

AIU the intent of this publication is not to further research but to make it clear to anyone that we need to move to post quantum cryptography ASAP.

I think it won't reduce jobs by 100x but yes, some jobs will be lost. I think it's right to put effort towards necessary regulatory and political changes, but there's no point in trying to deny the change.
