That’s actually a great test - can it be used effectively when there’s ambient noise?

Yep, the eclipse answer was incorrect (1). You’d think they’d have learned their lesson after Google Bard’s hallucinated demo! (1) https://www.space.com/33784-solar-eclipse-guide.html

> If they propagate down the stack then you lose context. Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but that’s what the Python stack traceback is for. It works pretty well, I prefer it over JS.

You always effectively a cog in the wheel. You’re never actually making a meaningful difference. There’s only a handful of universally “impactful” causes, the rest are just things that are part of the intricate world we’ve created. A job i

Fair enough, to be clear, I completely agree that Alphabet is massively dodging taxes. Just that, they have a significant workforce unlike Apple.

Alphabet has a massive workforce of X000s in Ireland, spanning full time, part time, and contractor/vendors. They operate multiple massive buildings around Grand Canal, across product areas. Not sure where you saw that they have no wor

What’s Apple’s effective tax rate?

Why is the headline never “Apple accepts yearly bribe from Google, providing X% of its total global profit”?

Ah, gotcha! I thought maybe it was something to do with concurrency, and somehow x is affected by a race condition there.

Excuse my multiple comments, just trying to understand this better since I’m very intrigued by your library. What does the JS “if x != x” check do? I don’t see the equivalent in the golang example?

by yunohn 3y ago
In addition to my other comment, I agree with the parent here. I appreciate the attempt to mirror golang’s naming, but it would be vastly more readable if you used Channel instead of Chan, etc.

by yunohn 3y ago
I think it would be useful to generally explain what these primitives do and how they interact with each other. A lot of JS/TS users haven’t used golang, but would appreciate a better solution if they understand it (me included). Regar

I’m pretty sure you could articulate how exactly this “better” pattern works versus the default “bad” one. Right now the readme is a pile of illegible jargon to me as a non-go person.

Android allows for Gecko web views (1) and Firefox Custom Tabs. It’s just that the Chrome Webview is available by default and does not need to be embedded, thus reducing app size and load times. (1) https://mozilla.github.io&#x2F

I mean, they keep putting desktop class CPU+GPUs in their mobile devices - all just to play an Angry Birds remake? I own almost every Apple device in the ecosystem, but I never game on them…

I’m in the same boat, what exactly enables this dynamism that couldn’t be achieved before? I’m missing the reason why this was static up until now.

The article is specifically making a point around the sheer quantity of equipment used by Apple, vs Olivia Rodrigo.

You’re right if global cultures includes all cultures - even US. It’s how businesses and governments work worldwide unfortunately. The USA just (and has) had multiple presidents who were nepotistic.

Do you use encryption and/or compression on the hard drives or cloud? That’s my main concern with disaster recovery - feels so much easier if it’s literally just raw files backed up everywhere instead of needing software.

Yep exactly - nobody thought to double check the original/final sheets when the results looked a bit off?

The author’s point is that their spreadsheet tool /needs/ a data source to actually be usable. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me?

It’s not clear to me why you keep rephrasing all of the IE gov’s tax evasion support as “competition”. Becoming a tax haven is not a great longterm strategy and is not in the populace’s best interests. The gov is supporting business not peo

It’s simple really, lots of businesses share data with 3rd parties to enable various services. OpenAI provides a service contract claiming they do not mine/reshare/etc the data shared via their API. As the SaaS provider, you just

I never said that companies aren’t getting taxed - I said they’re avoiding/evading the massive amount of tax they /should/ be paying in the EU and instead only paying the bare minimum that IE wants from them.

Ireland is recognised as a tax haven by basically everyone else. I think your framing really ignores the stark reality of how they’ve facilitated tax evasion. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ireland_as_a_tax_haven The
