It's really curious that something as personal to people as smartphones don't have a rich-person equivalent the same way cars do. What is the McLaren of iPhones?

It's very possible that leap seconds will be a thing of the past. Those need active changes to the calendar, and there's every possibility that future generations will simply not care to make those adjustments. Other than that, I

Which country has sanctioned China as the result of the tariffs so far? Most Asia-pacific nations have expanded trade with China, to make up for the shortfall from reduced trade with America.

I am pleasantly surprised by how significantly better the quality of ChatGPT's answers are, once Search + Reason are turned on. I used it for a project I'm working on, and it has given really good, well-sourced responses so far.

ChatGPT with Search mode turned on correctly answered who won Canada's election that happened yesterday, with sources.

Is this Truepic Vision thing a US requirement? I signed up for a virtual office here in Sydney, and obtained a DUNS number using that address with no issue. This was last year.

I guess people didn't realise they are allowed to, and in fact are expected to, put very wide ranges for things they are not certain about.

I think openness is a must. Alternatives that were proprietary largely died out because they were proprietary. They can't survive transitions into newer platforms, like how Flash failed to make it into mobile

If you have trouble committing to an option, it's usually because the options are equally good as far as you know . There are two ways to go about this: 1. If the stakes are low, you can just pick one option at random and commit to it

If you consider the constraints on how it can evolve and the alternatives that has been attempted, I think web languages turned out pretty well.

This comment proves my point about how "all the Haskell" hinders mainstream adoption of a thing. It's very easy for folks to miss the point of the thing! Lenses and more generally optics are a lot more powerful than just dot-

I would be very happy to be proven wrong here. But I view parser combinators in the same lens as lenses, another powerful approach to solving a specific problem that is unlikely to receive mainstream recognition because of all the Haskell.

PEGs don't have this problem only because they place restrictions on the grammar. In practice, this isn't a problem, but it does require you write grammar rules in a specific way (e.g. no left-recursion)

Parser combinators are one of those ideas that is really powerful in practice, but will never be mainstream because it had the bad fortune of coming from the functional programming world. It's a shame too, because parser combinators ar

In the short term, there will be a direct revenue hit as the result of very uncertain policies causing investors to be more cautious. In the long-term however, I think Australia is in a strong position to thrive, assuming the tariffs don&#x
