PWAs could be made to not suck. But Apple and Google don’t exactly have a huge incentive to do that. Plus pushing users through an app store at least enforces a minimum standard of app quality, which as a user, I like.

I don’t think the problem is that it’s a third party. People develop for third-party systems like the PS4 all the time and it’s fine. And old software works on Windows pretty well. Rather, Apple and Google don’t value backwards compatibilit

A microprocessor is pure logic, no? It’s not dysfunctional, but it’s also not that functional.

You can’t work around all responsibilities. For example, if you have to take care of your sick mom, you simply cannot do it. I’m going to be honest. You don’t sound super privileged but you are more privileged than a lot of people and you d

I see humans as a mix of the newer brain systems (like logic) and older systems (like hormones). Feeling and emotions and what we consider “human” really come from the older systems. Since we’re not trying to recreate that, I find it hard t

I think the next milestone for OpenAI should be adding hormones, chemical imbalances and mood swings.

I don’t think the issue was the randomness. I think it was avoiding trusting a third party.

I tried too and had the same experience. XUL always felt like it was just made for Mozilla. It wasn’t but when you don’t provide documentation, stable APIs, and good tooling, that’s the message that you give. As a user, you also know other

People who cook were exposed to it. People who like soccer were exposed to it. People who like working on electronics were exposed to it. Rarely does anyone do stuff independently. You saw someone else do it and that’s what got you into it.

They’re really good and far better than most bulbs. Waveforms are even better but it’s like springing for the luxury item. But unless you’re someone that could readily tell, it’s not with the price difference.

I consider $3.75 for a Phillips 95+ CRI bulb a few dollars more. A Home Depot bulb is like $2.75. I hate that you have to research bulbs but you’re making it out way harder than it is.

I wouldn’t touch any of those game systems with 10-ft pole. Their user bases are too small to be worth using. They also don’t at all compare to the Flash IDE. Flash was great because it was popular and supported with the weight of a big com

It’s only a few $ more. And it says on the box. I usually stick to the same brand too. All Phillips bulbs are 90+ CRI and some are 95+ so I just buy Phillips. Problem solved.

I agree. You only need to be done dirty once, then you'll remember.

It sounds like someone wrote fopen(name, “r+”) instead of fopen(name, “w”) I don’t think writing to a separate file is standard procedure at all. Way more apps don’t do that than do from my anecdotal memories.

The price going up has probably reduced population growth though, so pointing to low growth but high prices doesn’t tell us that much. Not to say that there isn’t something else going on.

Mere informed voters don’t make a democracy but a democracy wouldn’t exist if mere informed voters weren’t in the loop. Active citizens are like leaders of a group. A group needs a leader but a group also needs its members.

Your database IS protected with a pass phrase When you enable the PIN, you deliberately weaken your security for convenience. However, when the database unloads, your database is still protected by your pass phrase.

You know what I love about Java’s library ecosystem? You configure your project to use the de-facto ones… OR you configure your project (not your system’s user profile!) to use your own internal registry/repo And all the repo software

If humans are completely out of the loop, I assume the AI could just write machine code.

Not necessarily. It depends on what your data source is. If it’s a stable sorted list that only ever gets appended at the end, you can use the index. At the end of the day, there is no hard fast rule for the key. You have to know what your

Most of these mistakes are programming mistakes. You’d be in trouble doing the && shortcut in a lot of places. And second, not at all. E4X existed in the 2000s and was widely implemented in Firefox (then the biggest modern browser)

None of these changes are that major. They don't breaking existing code. Breaking existing code is a pretty major line to cross for anyone maintaining a language, library or tool. (Even though some people do it willy nilly....)

Not to mention -- most of these features have been in other languages for years. So in this case, JS/TS have been behind and are just catching up to what you'd find everywhere else.

Not OP but a well-typed codebase means you have to remember less, your broken code gets caught before you even run/compile it, and you can just lean on the type system to write the code for you. And TypeScript has a much more expressiv

Most countries are small and have to choose between being neighborly but dependent or self-sufficient but much more modest. The UK, for example, imports nearly half of its food.
