Why would we jump to cannibalism if it is merely sufficient to eat a bunch of other mammal brains (which I vaguely remember reading are a "delicacy", though I feel like I hear that about enough extremely dangerous foods that I con

These stories are weird, as they were all heavily driven by code licensing, which isn't at all (afaik... maybe I'm wrong and this is the back room reason we are all being forced in this direction) the story with Wayland.

I honestly don't understand how "apps can't do X unless they prompt and get permission to" wouldn't both work for everyone and not prevent anything... I mean, there are probably only like two or three apps total eac

A very large number of random decisions needn't always yet surprisingly often results in high-level emergent elegant/predictable phenomena... that's like, the entire point of statistics.

There are many goals you can set and achieve that require effort but don't relate to needing to work to make money. Maybe I'm somehow crazy on a forum of tech "entrepreneurs"... but, I like to do stuff like learn to sing

It works up until someone has a tool that works well locally or a service which doesn't require verification, the existence of which would also answer this question.

If you are going to make dangerously incorrect mistakes that are biased against certain users, rather than saying "dunno it didn't hurt most people", maybe you actually shouldn't be translating at all.

I feel like you are trying to say that you believe this comment to mean that they might try to sell access to the user data acquired from API usage, but I'm pretty sure the connection "and thus" is equating the APIs with user

That "don't use english words" is somehow the recommendation instead of "always quote identifiers" feels a bit ridiculous.

What you are looking for is called "dependent types" and is the same mechanism that you have to have to prevent the function you seem to insist is so obviously to you the right way to do it from also being wrong by returning an of

I mean... I absolutely do think early adopters of stuff are ridiculous and that the only reason I hop into bleeding edge tech is if I need or want to target it as a developer; and yet, I also think that a lot of these issues are ridiculou

FWIW, as the application developer, it increases fragmentation, as more of the code in your app is determined by what version of the OS the user is running. If Apple were developing and debugging everyone's apps, that argument would ma

This honestly doesn't sound like a problem as such types fall into one of two categories: ones which need to execute on one thread--in which case resuming them should always resume on their native runtime as they are thread-locked: I a

I am under the maybe-totally-wrong impression that people are saying that the runtimes are incompatible, not that you merely need to think harder about the scoping rules and type traits; do I misunderstand what is going on?

I believe a key issue is that the license of LibreOffice is copyleft (I believe some mixture of LGPL and MPL) and so the Apache Foundation--which specifically focuses on code that is not copyleft (a focus I personally disagree with, but is

A number of replies here are noting (correctly) how this doesn't have much to do with AI (despite some sentences in this article kind of implicating it; the title doesn't really, fwiw) and is more of an issue with cloud providers,
