I remember those times and there were a lot if windows that did not look like windows and buttons that did not look like buttons. Not in the apps provided by the OS itself, but in third-party software. It was the time of wild experiments, e

Invading a country, changing its government and forcing favorable trade deals under a threat of a military intervention is "trade"? What is colonialism then?

Interesting and sad to see the ratio of women to men doing hard manual work in these photos, even road repairs are done by women. It's mind boggling how devastating the war was for the country.

You walk in and realize that there is nothing worthwile inside. The knowledge is gone or was never even there, all the inputs are gone, the process is in shambles, all you have is four walls and some bricked machinery. What now?

Good old colonialism, sweet

Not really? The questin is, if South Korea stops all cooperation with the EU tomorrow, will that fab continue to be operational? If the answer is "no", then it matters. It matters a lot

Why? Software developers aren't some superhumans, we're generally very bad at things outside our immediate area of expertise. Just like everyone else

At this point I just ask an LLM to resolve conflicts, works most of the time. An LLM can not only understand the language, it can also understand the intent behind both changes, which leads to much better results

A defer is just a dozen lines of code nowadays, if you really need it, but in most cases you don't if you're doing RAII

What do you think "voting age" means? The first sentence on the linked page is "The overall turnout of eligible voters in the 2024 general election was 63.7%"

Do you have a citation for that? I read the books a long time ago, but I was sure that he was corrupted through the palantir

Well, Russia is trying to do something about it and I think we can all agree that there are wrong ways to go about it. Simply being incompetent, like the EU, is not the worst possible scenario. Btw, say what you will about Russia, but it&#x

Trump was elected . Twice. It was not a fluke, not a once in a lifetime event, he's a symptom of wider processes happening in the US. The world has changed and the old order is not coming back

What about the software side?

by usrnm 4mo ago
Which is actually good news if it still works

It obviously is part of the rises in other cost. We can argue how large a part, but I cannot imagine a world where they are unrelated

Energy going up drives evrything up, including food. Everything we do depends on energy in many different ways.

Yeah, that's exactly why Apple is paying money to Google now to fix the shitshow that is Siri

by usrnm 4mo ago
Are you saying that Google is a startup?

ABI changes do happen. gcc had an ABI change in std::string because of C++11. It was long and painful, but everyone survived, the world did not end

The simplest way to "fix" that is killing the original one as a required and atomic part of the process. Make it so that there is no moment in time when both are awake and concious

Sounds like a compiler bug to me. It is a valid reason to avoid them in some rare cases right now, but it doesn't make the feature itself bad

> It's a Google model run by Apple Run by Apple where? Do they really have enough hardware to run it in-house?

> I'm curious if Siri AI will be up to their usual standards You clearly never used Siri before

Dishwashers also cannot work without a human loading and unloading dishes. How do you propose to automate this part?

I'm pretty sure that C is a much better choice if you really care about binaries that run on most devices

Cgo overhead is trivial compared to what's happening inside a database engine, totally not worth it

The readme really lacks the answer to the "why" question. What's the use case, why should I prefer it over real sqlite?

All systems languages before Rust (granted, it's not a very long list) were successfully used for GUIs, games, embedded stuff and much more
