Not Apple's fines in Europe. And Tim Cook is vocal about that. To me that says EU is doing the right thing.

I'm sure there are plenty of examples like this, but one thing that I find really hard to deal with is to integrate such tools into existing codebase -- you can make all these things as standalone pages, but for a professional develope

Does throwaway account negates the arguments though?

Exactly. That's what Cursor did, and (I think) Microsoft will agree with that and maybe even welcome developers to do this.

I mean, Microsoft has been very clear about their business model of VSCode -- similar to Chromium, the base product is free and you can do whatever you want (and indeed there are lots of products reusing the core of VSCode), but extension m

Very interestingly, just yesterday I discovered that VSCode has a set of APIs for adding SSH tunneling, and under normal circumstances you must launch vscode with special flags to be able to use them. Somehow their built-in JavaScript debug

Reminds me of the trivia given by the instructor when we had a training on "C++ STL" -- guess which method will be called! (Yes, bringing in classes and virtual functions makes it extra fun) Having learned Go and Rust in the last

How old are those older OSes? Probably not a decade though?

(not the person you replied to) Window management is very weird: try running vscode in crostini. Title bar is empty. I think there is a workaround that ... shows two title bars. Here you are. I didn't want to waste time on that. And I

Very weird article. First sentence: Despite Microsoft trying hard to get people to upgrade to Windows 11... Title: buy new Windows 11 PC I mean, there is a clearly a difference, and XDA knows that. So it brings up TPM 2.0 and says Microso

Come on, you know it's an oxymoron. "full" and "supervised" don't belong to the same sentence. Ask any 10 year old or a non native English speaker who only learned the language from textbooks for 5 years can te

Do they have warnings as big as "full self driving" texts in advertisements? And if it is NOT actually full self driving, why call it full self driving? That's just false advertising. You can't get around that. I can&#x2

Now that you are interested, I'm happy to share more. For context, I got this exact machine https://www.ebay.com/itm/134571642124 at $174, and did it because I wanted a cheap, 15.6" laptop with an accurate &a

This is probably a money losing business for the unit. Qualcomm needs to pay manufacturers a lot of money to get it going. I am not sure Qualcomm cares enough about that.

I think Chromebook throttle the CPU frequency to a low level to make it run at a sweet spot where there is enough performance but not much heat. Saying that as someone who installed Linux on a Chromebook with 1215u. (Don't do that) I d

There is some truth in that -- if x86 can achieve the same battery life and heat management as Apple silicon, barely anyone would care about ARM for Windows/Linux. AMD has made leaps in CPU efficiency in recent years, but that was stil

Well, to me application crashes are way better than car crashes. Provided that they are used by average consumers, not on servers

My theory -- linux arm is a real alternative to linux x86 and everyone involved knows that they are doing. Windows in Arm, at this moment, only causes confusion to product lines and branding, for both device manufacturers and consumers. By

One obvious example is auto_ptr. And from what I can see it is quite successful -- in a well maintained C++ codebase using C++ 11 or later, you just don't see auto_ptr in the code.

I don't know which bubble you are in, but $499 + $129 for devices at MSRP is not going to revolutionize anything, especially just for maths. A $200 Chromebook can do 10x. Guess what, that's exactly why schools buy Chromebooks.

Chances are that recruiters just ignore your resume without even thinking about it. Especially if there are other candidates who do have that much experience in a specific language. Even if you are a better candidate overall (whatever tha

This. A not so great analogy is you can always drop a single php file into your /var/www/ (or even do cgi) and get your "dynamic" website running like decades ago, but people don't do that any more for any webs

I mean, locking users into your platform is one of the most common ways companies make money and keep making money. And that works. If you want an obvious example, look at Apple.

I doubt licensing is a "detail" -- various comments say it matters a lot, e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/a/14488011/3831197 > The GPLv3 was the final straw that ended Apple's interest in contribu

IDE support is often hit or miss with these, I have seen too much of it. Don't use vscode or never bother to write jsdoc/do any strict typing? Never mind. Good luck with your codebase.

I haven't seen any updates than those first screenshots, almost making me wonder if this is real. I do a search every few months to see if someone created a tool that allows anyone to run Windows/Linux on Android. Nope. Because I
