This. The article seems like "one weird trick that message queue companies HATE" as it's utilizing, as far as I understand, some SQL semantics in a very specific way to cobble together a way of achieving what other software i

Is there something like this for Golang? I've inherited a golang project at work and it's really not fun to debug compared to Python.

I was thinking about this too, given recent events like Titanfall being pulled from sale due to the rampant cheating (which also led to many players abandoning the game before, leading to very low sales).

With gaming NFTs going they way they are, cheating in games may become actual financial crimes in the near future.

While I agree that AI in current forms can be very useful, I believe that the problem of e.g. driverless taxis requires understanding of other humans and empathizing with their intentions to be truly viable. Driving is a social activity, an

That’s…already how it is? I seriously cannot believe how bad the start menu still is in 2021 given how limited the scope of core functionality is. Somehow, simply surfacing the main entry points into dozens of GUI applications is a Hercul

FWIW I’ve had Google recruiters ask me stuff where they don’t understand the answer and the questions are things like “what is the protocol number for ICMP” and “what port does NTP use”. If one doesn’t work with these things very often, the

Same, and this is my problem with almost all that want mandates to end: what is the proposed solution, then? Also, to me at least there is very clear motivation for governments to keep people alive and profit motive for vaccine manufacturer

Surgeons and other professionals wear masks that are at least as restrictive as a disposable procedural mask for hours per day for decades.

I personally wish cars could be factory-optioned with 5points as I don’t find them uncomfortable, prefer to be held into the seat as it feels more secure for fun recreational driving, and the extra safety is nice. I’d have one in my sports

Also, given how much mass transit the average person in Japan is likely to use and the higher population density on average, it seems like a pretty big mistake to conclude that masks are useless.

Just amusing that after all these decades this is still not a solved problem. Why can’t the browser just translate the PDF into HTML and display it normally in a “virtual” webpage? Make it pdf:// or whatever.

That would be great if I could run an iCloud back-end on my home servers. Unfortunately, I can’t, and no software other than iCloud can do what iCloud does on iOS due to Apple’s usage of private iOS APIs to accomplish things like persistent

And because no one except Apple have access to the private iOS APIs required to run background processes forever, you would have to remember to keep the app in the foreground while it completes syncing on a regular basis. Also, you can rest

This makes the most sense for “why” and “why now” IMO.

This. It’s not like iCloud and GDrive are the only two cloud storage vendors, or like there’s no way to encrypt things before uploading them.

There are lots of DIY electric car kits out there too, but suggesting one as a viable alternative daily driver to mass-market consumers seems a bit unrealistic. Apple was nice in theory because it provided out-of-the-box privacy and securit

Probably, as other commenters have said, a mix of behind-the-scenes political pressure to give feds access to phone data for people they’re interested in and an effort to get them to back down on anti-trust and other things that governments

The thing that gets me about #1 is that if I prefer iOS to Android, there is nothing that can replace iCloud. Google Photos and other apps cannot upload seamlessly in the background as iCloud can. I cannot “restore my iPhone” from a Google
