I love Kotlin, but don't want to use IntelliJ, and they obviously have strong financial incentives against supporting other IDEs. Has anything changed in this regard? I appreciate their work on native/wasm, and I think…
I've heard many stories about Chinese food safety. But is government oversight getting better? Is this a story of local corruption, or of a larger corrupt system? And if it has "millions of views" on Weibo, is this an…
Have you found anything that makes everyone happy and productive? I sometimes wonder if we'll replace traditional design patterns, especially OOP, with new patterns, that are neither OOP or FP, but perhaps a different…
The article is extremely short and by an unknown author, so there isn't much to discuss. But I've met many people who hated onion architecture with a passion. I have a few theories: - Maybe a lot of programmers have…
Yes, in theory. In practice, however, the source code can be overwhelmingly large or complex, e.g. Chromium. And yes, even if you're blocked from contributing to the project, you could 'just' fork it. But it would be…
Unfortunately, I don't understand what this article is trying to say, but I respect the author and made a diligent attempt. Yes, open source is now common place. But I sometimes wonder if it, too, is a market failure,…

Could DNS responses have been hijacked as well? Edit: Could this have been used to hijack/create TLS certificates?
It's impossible to take technology out of the equation. I.e. that one person may have superior insights in their physiology/glucose levels, or a superior diet before the race. And so on. Similarly in football, by…
A court would likely decide that the supplier is in malicious non-compliance and may be able to assign financial penalties. So it's important that the penalties are significant enough to deter non-compliance.
This is silly. Soldered CPU, RAM, SSD. Pretty much the only thing repairable is the battery. I'd argue that this was a cheap business decision to make. Keep the price gouging on parts, while satisfying regulators on…
Indeed! I wonder what caused all this madness. Doesn't it degrade productivity? And thereby hurt profitability? And thereby the attractiveness of such strategies? It sometimes seem to me like profit motive has been…
Isn't it just a PR stunt? They get to use her voice for some time, generating hype. Then get even more coverage over the controversy, for free, while talking about their new product. Not desperate at all. This is modern…
Why didn't they reference the study by title and author names? Who conducted the study? How can we fact check it? This is bad journalism.
Are you saying that the problem of monopolies should not be solved through regulation, but by tax-funded public service alternatives? Regulation tries to restore a free market by reducing barriers and allowing other…
Maybe it's a way to funnel government money into an obscure international entity?
That's a specieist argument. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciesism#%22Discontinuous_mi...
What's different? I imagine that it's increasingly hard to contribute or even participate in the ongoing research, which is dominated by major companies? I work in a different field, but the way of working now is so…
Is anyone else using Qubes OS or airgapping at work? E.g. finance, trading, ... ? Do you use specialized equipment and processes, e.g. PDF-to-PNG rendering, one-way diodes, and such? Also, I'm surprised to hear so many…
It's when you turn on flight mode, right? /s (You have to physically remove the wifi and bluetooth hardware) Also, one-way diodes are fine, mostly. But I agree completely. There's a major lack of awareness. I'm quite…
Do foreign nationals have the same rights as Americans? Foreign companies shouldn't have the same protections. And in many countries, locally-operating subsidiaries are required to have majority ownership by citizens,…
I have a similar question. It seems to me that the software engineering salary distribution is bimodal. I'm simplifying a bit here, but basically into those that make <100k USD or >200k USD a year. What makes the…
Then why do people use Airbnb?
I think anyone talking about TikTok's content is doing themselves a disservice, because it fails to understand that the content is heavily curated by the algorithm. I tried installing TikTok on a blank developer phone,…
What about affordable hotels with reasonable living conditions? Maybe the hotel industry needs disruption? Every hotel I've been to was incredibly wasteful.
