Musk's Nazi salute is going to go down in history as one of the stupidest things a businessman has ever done. There's still plenty of people in Europe with a personal connection to WW2, family members who died fighting or died in

Presumably an AI would formalise the proof in a system such as Lean, then you only need to trust the kernel of that proof system. Rejecting a proof would be more complicated, because while for confirming a proof you only need to check that

AFAIU they are not ditching C++, they are exploring writing some parts of the engine in Swift using the new C++ interop features in Swift. But a wholesale switch to Swift doesn't seem realistic.

Ladybird overtook Servo in WPT a few months ago and the gap is only increasing. Servo cannot match the development pace of Ladybird and Ladybird's access to the huge pool of C++ devs is everything to do with that.

There already is a Rust web engine, it's called Servo, and it's currently being overtaken by the C++ Ladybird project. Rust is a bad language to write an open source browser in because the hardest problem of building a browser is

Nope, just normal GitHub account. Though GitHub did force me to use 2fa earlier because they said I have a "popular repo", so perhaps my account is considered high risk. Or maybe it's triggered by travelling and changing IP l

60/h is obviously well within normal human usage of an app and not bot traffic... A normal rate limit to separate humans and bots would be something like 60 per minute . So it's about an order of magnitude too low.

by zarzavat 1y ago
Yes, it's not the rate limits that are the problem per se but GitHub's tendency to log you out and make you go through 2fa. If they would let me stay logged in for a year then I wouldn't care so much.

Courts (usually) understand that their power is limited by reality. If they decide that AI training is not fair use, then it will not prevent AI training, because Europe and China will continue. All it will do is cripple the US for a time b

Why not use React for that? If I use React for everything then I don’t have to decide, I don’t have to use two different tools. Consistency is fantastic, if you only use nails then you only need to carry a hammer. Why use two incompatible l

Humans are very good at not spotting their own mistakes, that's why writers have editors.

Bug notwithstanding, checking for updates every 5 minutes is exactly the wrong way to do it. You want to spread out update rollouts in case of a catastrophic problem. The absolute minimum should be once a day at a random time of day, prefer

"Deports" is wrong word for removing a citizen. "Expels" would be more appropriate.

I'm annoyed to learn that even the original PHP version had `class=` working.

The outline algorithm didn't succeed because it was too complicated and hard to understand for the common case. You can define your own styles and have a similar behaviour.

I'm going to be extremely petty and point out that Greenland is not part of the EU. It's part of the Kingdom of Denmark, along with Denmark itself which is an EU member.

Manufacturing jobs in Asia (e.g. making shoes) have much higher churn than retail jobs in Asia. That shit is hard work, but well paid by local standards. Manufacturing also requires young people. You can't work in a factory in your 4

While that may be true, I’ll say that as a native English speaker that reading is not the most obvious reading of “row rule”, which to me would be “A determinate method prescribed for performing any operation and producing a certain result.

I assume by ported they mean compiled the C++ code to asm.js, now that as an Adobe employee they had access to the source code. Though this would still be a significant effort to get working.

As far as I understand, the UK gave Apple an order that has effective worldwide extent to insert a backdoor. Clearly you can't have a backdoor that only works for people in a certain location, since people are not fixed in one place. A

Not just non-mainstream web browsers but also users in certain less developed countries. Clearly there’s a balance to be had, but Cloudflare’s shadowbans are just mean.

A third party that is paid by the first party is not much different from a first party. It does seem like privacy theatre, anonymity protocols like Tor are carefully designed to make malicious cooperation difficult.
