Inability to reasonably operate an API that has that StringTemplate type somewhere in a method signature would be a dramatic change of direction for kotlin. I'd be surprised if they didn't already have something in the pipeline to

I could easily imagine an email arriving at some public contact address "I'm in your wrenches, changing your torques, send 123 BTC to 45678 or else!" and some first level person just dismissing it incredulously, "yeah, r

Ouch. Did Boeing shares already see an uptick? Because that's what it looks like when torque wrenches systematically misread...

I've always assumed (never looked into it) that the protocol itself has little in common with SMTP. But the constraints of text-only messages (email before html formatting took hold), email address as user ID and client software that u

One outcome of the experiment is already certain: the demonstrator will live on forever in "ugliest plane" collections. And as usual with the constituents of these lists, it's not entirely without appeal. You almost want to p

True. Perhaps it will end up not quite as bad as it could be for the lowly consumer, but for game developers who do put in the effort instead of focusing on store visibility tricks it will inevitably get even worse than it already is. Remem

I can certainly feel what you mean, it's where those who will take on anything to get a bigger car congregate in these parts. But it's actually not that bad I think, deployments are not "the temp guy in an in-house team"

That's what publicly traded companies are. They literally can't do "this is going well, let's continue going well", because in that case there'd inevitably be someone out there who thinks "but it could g

Not everyone involved, think of those poor investors! Spot on about the contractors. The city I live in contains some of the larger data processing hot-spots of the German government (not so much in terms of large number-crunching server fa

But how is the input side sufficiently compatible with any state other than being alone? Voice surely does not qualify? Even gesture control would be a tough sell, and even that only if it's not "AR, where you push buttons project

Isn't it the exact opposite? Interfaces we use every day can be dead simple, all they need is that they don't change behind our back. The accelerator pedal does not come with a footover pop-up "keep pressed to make car go&quo

But how often did that computer voice-acted by her really do significantly more than "set timer to thirty minutes"? Outside of some broken plots on the original series ("we have insufficient data to know the truth, let's

True, must have missed that, deep branches on higher rated sibling comments. And at the time when I did skim the actual grandparent, I dismissed the part about piston because I don't believe that any of the suspected benefits of this p

I went through this idea in my head reading the sibling speculations about civilian use and discarded the idea: when you have the control surfaces, there's no cost in using them. In terms of aerodynamic inefficiency I'd expect it

Yes? For example that central jet engine that the plane already has? Doesn't change anything about requiring additional moving parts to control where the compressed air goes and where it goes not. The goal of this entire exercise is no

The "natural" UI place for that kind of begging would not be a pop-up, but the head end of the URL bar, where the domain certificate validity is shown. Usually that's also the place where the UI for revoking permissions that

Companies that already have two copies of their app front-end team will certainly not jump at the first hunch that they might perhaps be substituted by a third line. It's a slow process. But five years from the watershed moment of Appl

I went through four different use cases in the last two months or so, about 1.5 of them not the state. I'd say the chicken/egg phase is over. But it won't be an everyday tool anytime soon, but the same is true for the physica

Second paragraph as an argument for why it would be a permanent plug installation instead of a hidden door. I see your point. Do we know about permanent plug vs semi-permanent substitute door? According to some other posts both exist, both

“That particular Boeing 737 Max 9 rolled off the assembly line and received its certification two months ago“ Not a maintenance issue. Or if it is, that's a seriously shocking amount of maintenance demand.

Something like that parody of printed manual check copy protection on the original Larry game might actually work? Years later I had a huge "oh, so that's the answer!" moment when I finally discovered the meaning of the wor

Go appears to be made with radical focus on a niche that isn't particularly well specified outside the heads of its benevolent directorate for life. Opinionated to the point of "if you use Go outside that unnamed niche you got no-

I've been preaching this myself for quite a while: the way the aesthetics of minimalistically clean surfaces work is by emphasizing new-ness while they are in fact new. That does look awesome, I'm guilty of enjoying that look myse

How many trips are done alone? And yet people don't buy single-seater cars. People also don't draw boat or horse trailers most of the time, yet they buy cars as if that was all they ever did. The reality is that car purchases have

I think it's a really nice example of form matching content: a very long list of roughly equally improbable events. No prose could ever express the sheer quantity of it all like that seemingly endless list of bullet points. I kind of

For me it's usually blame, look for a line that hasn't been touched by some triviality, then from that commit message either to a ticket reference, or, if absent or unavailable, to history shortly before and after. So yes, I do lo

If battery tech was easy and it only failed to progress faster due to lack of a well-funded use case, then submarine warfare should have brought us to Tesla-grade batteries in no time.
