Maybe it's just me, but I've yet to find a human who will confidently make up a function name that will do what I ask for and claim it is part of a standard library while that function does not exist at all. This is politician lev

Right. I should have mentioned that Germany should have decided to ramp up investments in nuclear power as well. A long time ago. My bad.

> A while back someone unironically described Germany's nuclear power policy as "the single most catastrophic decision ever made by any government in peacetime". German here. Accurate description if you ask me. It's o

This is what happens when you are identified with your work to some degree. The work becomes you, hence criticism appears to be no longer about your work but your person. My experience is that this often happens to individuals who have a pe

I agree it's not an illusion. And I agree with your first point. At least it feels like there's much less emphasis on improving people's lives. I still believe that a product has to have some perceived positive impact on a us

> iii) The fact that the present is shrill, exhaustively hyped, manipulated and in a sense damaged. Tech is no longer a force for good and we long for the time when this illusion was available. I agree with this sentiment to some extent.

That only works if there isn't any competition.

If they could now implement table resizing and tables that do not render with graphical errors, that would be so nice.

I was able to restore my prior working Xcode 14.2 from a Time Machine backup by restoring the following locations: /Library/Developer /Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist ~/Library/Developer ~&#x2

Unfortunately, removing the 14.3 install and reinstalling 14.2 didn't fix it. Setting up a macOS VM would most likely not be suitable for testing, which the simulator builds are primarily for in my use case. Thanks for your suggestions

Did you install Xcode 14.3 Beta besides your prior 14.2 install?

by starbugs 4y ago
I should have mentioned that I am aware of Apple's deprecation notice in the release notes. But the note refers to Xcode 14.3 Beta and doesn't say that Xcode 14.2 couldn't be used to build x86 Simulator builds anymore. With r

Ask HN: Xcode 14.3 Beta 2 disables x86 builds for older Xcode versions?

How is that?

I thought of "the context" as "we'd like to inject some cheesy ad into the website you are visiting and we are so desperate that we put an outright lie (trust) into it while performing one of the most untrustworthy actio

Trust and Microsoft in the same sentence is really approaching peak irony. Especially in this context.

Call a function that is implemented in C returning you the handle? I didn't say it's a good idea… Isn't that how PHP started off?

by starbugs 4y ago
Use a handle and pass that by value?

by starbugs 4y ago
Yes, that was me asking the question. Thanks for the answer. I think now I understand where you're coming from. Wouldn't competitors have a good reason to sue? The damages appear obvious.

So are you saying that the scam is actually ok, because in theory Amazon would refund indefinitely into the future, which wouldn't happen, because users are not asking for a refund anyway? How does this make it ok? I'm not sure if

by starbugs 4y ago
Not sure if you are joking? I think we all know that the nature of the scam makes it very unlikely for most people to detect that they were defrauded within the 30 days money back guarantee time frame.

by starbugs 4y ago
This is probably not a smart question, but why isn't Amazon sued or otherwise held accountable if this happens repeatedly?

One thing would be that humans are (usually) not able to reproduce the work of others to the same degree of accuracy and speed as ML models.

While I believe that’s good advice, I find it hard to ignore the irony here.

I never said that I didn't react in a knee-jerk fashion though. I think it's appropriate to react this way in this context.

To be honest, I don't remember the details and I don't want to waste time looking them up again anymore. My opinion (and that seems to be that of many) is that targeted advertising is not desirable. Neither from a user perspective
