This is oversimplifying. The path to a good career after graduation is still fraught with many traps and pitfalls. Ask anyone who finished university in late 2008 to 2010 how their job prospects were compared to those that finished just two

Make no mistake most humans will exploit any glitches and bugs they can find for personal advantage in game. It’s just machines can exploit timing bugs better.

To their credit Xcode ships with all these things built in and you don’t have to make decisions about what to use. Yes it’s not as good as some other technologies but for Things use case and sorts it’s a good match.

And the predictive code completion is pretty bare bones awful compared to what you get in VSCode/Cursor or other editors.

Ruby really isn't that slow -- even so most of its "performance" problems are due to idling waiting for I/O not actual code. If you care about power consumption of computing you need to be looking at current AI and crypt

Personally don't feel like it's going to shift much. For devs who make a living off hosting/plugins/themes they might keep an eye on things but why move if the money is still coming in? For users, I doubt much of them wi

What?!? You argue disadvantaged shouldn’t be taxed but argue they should be on the hook for their own healthcare? Insanity.

JavaScriptCore doesn't use a JIT when used in your own apps. When you embed a WKWebView it runs out-of-process and has JIT enabled. Without the entitlement you cannot execute any written memory by your own process. All 3rd party browse

You can implement the same syntax for a renderer on other platforms but all of SwiftUI is closed source. So the diffing engine etc… all would need to be re-created from the ground up. SwiftUI, like react uses some language constructs to mak

I absolutely love the idea of both sides being able to "try before you buy". Some jobs just suck for the employee and they wont know until they're a month or so in and it's a waste of effort for both parties to continu

And we should strive to reduce a world where car ownership is a thing. The world would be a much better place if we didn't eat up so much damn space/resources/economic output for personal cars.

This is the myth that everyone is going to be screwed by. Nobody is going to be legally responsible for malware that ends up on your device. The only difference is Apple has the $$ and incentives to remove it as soon as it's brought to

Not necessarily true. Sometimes new prescriptions can take some time to adjust to if it's been a long time since the last prescription. Once you settle in they are 100% rock solid but it can be a few days of weirdness as your eyes adju

You're basically asking the EU to compel Apple to open up their platform and all their R&D that goes into their toolchains to developers for free at no charge.

This is rapidly changing with Tesla first. Outside the tires not much you're going to get after-market except from Tesla. You always have the option to not buy a ford, or not buy an iPhone.

This gets brought up every time someone talks about macOS and MacBooks. Another thing people don’t take into account is the time and thus money saved not dealing with this crap. Building PCs from raw parts is annoying for heaps of people. W

This 100%, we're not done with batteries yet as a society and it's probably one of the most heavily funded industries because the opportunity to strike "gold" with good battery tech is too large to ignore. Lithium wont b

Fuel definitely goes bad, at least once the storage is in vehicles. The petroleum industry keeps peddling all this FUD about how awful batteries are. The difference is batteries can be improved (and there's a tooooon of $$$$ pouring in

What parts of Bun were you using? All the features I've used (that work*) are faster, the hard part is the compatibility is still lacking so turning on the Bun runtime over just using Node is tricky.

Benchmarks like this are misleading. Unless you're already webscale you wont need to manage this level of concurrency at high throughput. Instead focus on tech decisions that enable you to ship what your paying customers want faster be

I really doubt this. Messing with high voltage battery packs will get people killed very fast. It's not an inert part with barely any risks. That doesn't take into the account the software required to safely and properly charge th

Kotlin running on the JVM is a disadvantage outside of Android though in a lot of spaces. Rust/Swift/Go will use a fraction of the ram to run a server application than Kotlin will.

The fees don't kick in until you get to a certain number of lifetime installs. Once you start paying the install fees the price per install drops quite rapidly too. The fees are also PER-GAME so one popular game wont cause your new gam

Couchbase is a very very different product under the hood. Be aware you have to run Couchbase with their minimum spec cluster requirements ( 3 nodes, tons of CPU and RAM ) just to ensure you don't lose data because it syncs from ram to
