As someone who was there: nope. This isn't sanewashing. Apple was directly (and IMO arguably illegally) shutting down Facebook teams and products by playing app store chicken on refusing to allow Facebook to publish…
Speaking as someone who once worked at a company where these were real issues that came up - it's very often the case that intermediate parties in the contracts have dissolved. Renegotiating the contracts would require…
To be honest, the Microsoft store was the biggest single impediment to success the project ever had. All of the ridiculous UWP requirements or exceptions and friction to install doomed it, start menu tile be damned. And…
If you use a Quest Pro and use Steam Link with a WiFi 6E access point, that should accurately represent the experience of using it. It's close to imperceptible in normal usage.
To be fair, assigning the highly competent BDFL of Linux who has listened to a bunch of highly competent maintainers some credibility isn't mindless. Unless you have a specific falsifiable claim that is being challenged…
it's a lot easier to buy additional gadgets when you can assume or when they explicitly declare that they're usable with the pi 5, and the time saved from "oh just install these commands" documentation is easily much…
nope, python can be interpreted!
DirectX carried the games industry forward because there weren't alternatives. OpenGL was lagging, and Vulkan didn't exist yet. I hope everyone moves to Vulkan, but DX was ultimately a net positive.
JIT is still banned by policy on a LOT of mobile devices, meaning that previous usage of yt-dlp on mobile is now effectively unsupportable.
There is a lot to unpack in this. Your #1 is encoding an unexamined assumption that there is a fixed or at least somewhat inflexible amount of violence to be directed anywhere. It also ignores the lightning generation…
On the contrary, I am a lot more willing to think through the contours of the problems I need to solve because I haven't drained my mental energy writing five repetitive - but slightly different - log lines and tweaking…
The association isn't without merit. Google acquired Metaweb Technologies in 2010, acquiring Freebase with it. Freebase was a semantic web knowledge base and this became deeply integrated into Google's search…
> A significant majority of Americans are medically satisfied with their health insurance provider. Before some life changes that mooted the point, I lived in fear of needing serious medical care, and as far as things…
Meridiem seems to only have ARM builds, no Intel builds. Could you perhaps update it to include Intel?
That's not an uncomfortable question at all. SWE (and all employees) should be paid to the point that the owners of their company, while well-rewarded, are not sucking up a large percentage of global wealth…
What's needed to form a contract is an offer, acceptance, and consideration - if an offer was made and accepted and something of value was exchanged, and there wasn't confusion about the terms (after 10 years, there…
something of value* granting API access in excess of the free tier would most likely constitute something of value, but yeah - probably wouldn't bother, it would be expensive to pursue and not worth it.
Dismissiveness like this tends to radiate ignorance, not insight. Quests have shipped roughly ~1/2 PS5 sales. Certainly a scale only a handful of technologically advanced product lines outside of phones ever reach.…
+1. Going from FB to $REDACTED to Oculus was a pretty wild ride, there were a lot of different cultures, though I think generally speaking the best qualities filtered through. (also, howdy former teammate)
> modern Linux with systemd, Wayland, dbus, and other technologies have deviated greatly from POSIX and other classical Unix technologies Systemd is inspired by/imitating launchd; macOS did it first, to much less…
Objective-C++ does exist, so their paths didn't diverge so much that they didn't remain in each others' ecosystems on a permanent basis (on Apple, which is the only place both regularly intersected)
Boneworks-inspired name?
Hard not to get all conspiracy theorist about canary removals. If I were to don my tinfoil hat, it seems possible to remove the canary with a boring incident for plausible deniability of a prior incident whose…
You're only minorly wrong in that they don't sell access to the behavioral data [1] , but you do realize that you sound absolutely unhinged about it, right? Is HN surveilling my post because I typed here and pressed the…
I feel like if I said "die slow, motherfuckers" here, that'd be justified grounds for a ban. It's really, really fucking stupid to do this, and even worse as a leader of an influential and impactful organization. Also -…
