I'm sad to say that usb-drives are now officially shit. They are so unreliable and there is no brand that you can trust. Which truly sucks for the rare cases when you actually do need some form of physical media.

They need some signal, and metrics are not one of those signals. The metrics tell you one thing, but how to interpret it requires you to know what people are actually doing. And if you do know that then you don't need the metrics. Add

Great, so now a mis-click and your browser will have a field day infecting your printer, coffee machine and all the other crap that was previously shielded by NAT and/or a firewall.

About 3.9 billion videos (of which almost 1 billion shorts) results in more than $9 in revenue for each video ever uploaded, in 2023 alone. You get a lot for a billion dollars.

First hit on google says: $31.5 billion in ad revenue in 2023. That figure does not include 100 million subscribers (2024). I am outside my comfort zone but I would bet youtube would thrive without google if those numbers are correct. And

You can donate to neovim too ;) I don't have much hope in anything replacing it for me. Zed does a lot right but feels very very far away and with a weird focus (from my perspective).

Definitely. Would it affect apples bottom line if they couldn't prevent people from reusing their displays? You bet.

The iMac are the perfect example though. The horror of putting a DVI/HDMI port on that thing seemed so horrendous that they'd rather let the whole thing go to waste. Reading OP it seems like this has been corrected? But generation

Management, not password manager. I'm not talking about technical merits, we all know passkeys are so complex they might work decently as obfuscation alone ;) No, all that crap is meaningless when you give all your keys to an entity t

If the speed is used to get better quality with no more input from the user then sure, that is great. But that is not the only way to get better quality (though I agree that there are some low hanging fruit in the area).

by tjoff 2y ago
If that is the way to get quality, sure. Otherwise I feel that power consumption is the bigger issue than speed, though in this case they are interlinked.

The biggest time sink for me is validating answers so not sure I agree on that take. Fast iteration is a killer feature, for sure, but at this time I'd rather focus on quality for it to be worthwhile the effort.

It's fine, even bad password management is better than passkeys. Thankfully the incredible hype for passkeys has been dead for years now and people are starting to question it.

Industry will do absolutely anything, except making lightweight sites. We had instant internet in the late 90s, if you were lucky enough to have a fast connection. The pages were small and there were barely any javascript. You can still fin

Agree, writing bad C++ is easy. But being competent in C++ requires much more than being competent in rust. And not being competent in C++ is not great. You are going to be much more productive in C. The feedback loop is much faster, that i

If you argue for Rust I'm all for it, arguably much less of a learning curve than C++ too.

RAII is useful without exceptions yes. I guess it is the other way around. Exceptions are not useful without RAII (sorry not sorry most garbage collected languages ;)). But without exceptions it is mostly syntactic sugar anyway. If compile

I don't disagree, but these are in the ~2% convenience at most. With the huge baggage of including C++ in a project. The cost of learning C++ easily outweighs all those benefits. If you happen to have a proficient C++ team (that actual

by tjoff 2y ago
The killer feature of RAII is when combined with exceptions. But sneaking in exceptions in an embedded C project isn't something I'd encourage or recommend. C++ imo doesn't offer anything compelling for the embedded usecase.
