There is a point to your comment, but I am afraid you are shouting at the wrong thing. Instead, I think this is the fair approach: anyone is free to make a website/app/VR world whatever, but if it stores any kind of PII, you had b

I can imagine manufacturers that are fully in the Android ecosystem come together to maintain Android, including Xiaomi, Samsung, Oppo etc. There won't be as many feature updates, but it's not like Google puts a lot of resources i

Can't imagine myself doing that at work. People still ask me why it always takes me hours before responding to their messages, many of which are time-sensitive.

I don't think there is any point in debating this, because apparently you are in the camp of "dependencies are ok", with or without a good reason, when a different camp is "avoid dependencies unless you really have to&qu

No, it has very little to do with v8 or any runtime. Those parsers run on any decent and recent enough runtime, including browsers and Node.js. If you look at the actual code, they use basic APIs in the JavaScript language that you can find

Microsoft has been dragging their feet when it comes to updating the LSP spec. Many of their Copilot features are done in VSCode, in fact using private APIs that are not accessible to other extensions. I am all for everyone adopting LSP, bu

I guess for the similar reason that Markdown does not have any "include" ability -- it is a feature not useful enough yet with too many issues to deal with. They are really intended to be used as "single" documents.

Many of the examples seem very easy -- I suspect that without LLMs, just simple Google searches lead you to a stackoverflow question that asks the same thing which. I wonder how this performs in bigger, more complex codebase. Also, my perso

These days you can dump your code/diff to ChatGPT and ask it to criticize. Often most of it is junk -- irrelevant or incorrect suggestions. But the 1 in 10 suggestions is actually useful and correct, which can be immensely helpful.

From what I hear, Amazon was losing money for many years, and they got to use tax laws to offset those previous losses. And that was quite a few years ago, and they have been paying a decent amount of taxes for a while. Of course, they can

Exactly. Same for dual citizenship. I realize there is nothing right or wrong about whether a countries allows dual citizenship -- it's just two different ways of doing things. Although that's a bit of a stretch here.
