In the early century I’ve seen companies bundle an entire pc (with case and all) inside their own products just to avoid dealing with windows CE.

So he’s saying one day it may make sense to get one? Great sales pitch.

Would be fun if steam hid those from anyone who used those specific payment processors while still showing them to people who used alternative options - and then people started to disable those processors due to it.

At one point long ago (just for a short while), I thought Delphi was destined to take that place. It was much higher level while still letting you go as low level as you wanted- it didn’t have garbage collection but it made it pretty easy to keep track of what is or isn’t allocated, on top of having good tools to find leaks on runtime. But it had too many problems too: the Pascal base and the association with drag and drop coders being some of the first ones, followed by a series of bad decisions by whatever company was responsible for it at any given week.

As long as it runs the same code, yes. But things may change, clients may pre-emptively split the string or stuff like that.

Imagine getting a multi byte character at the right position to get it split so that one byte gets in and the other doesn’t.

June and July deserve to share the same U too. In some languages it’s only the N/L that changes between them.

Huh, this sort of issue is what made me leave KDE in the first place. Haven’t had such problems on gnome.

I’m not saying it’s good, I’m saying I expected it to be even worse.

Damn now how am I gonna live without “Change my cursor to Sims 4”?

Reading the paper, AI did a lot better than I would expect. It showed experienced devs working on a familiar code base got 19% slower. It’s telling that they thought they had been more productive, but the result was not that bad tbh.

I wish we had similar research for experienced devs on unfamiliar code bases, or for inexperienced devs, but those would probably be much harder to measure.

“what are you saying? That I can quit vim?”

“no Neo, what I’m saying is - when you’re ready, you won’t have to.”

It’ll be over one day and I don’t know how high the DPI will have to be, but I’m currently at 160 and I still see room for cramming in more pixels.

I started using computers at 640x480, sometimes 800x600. 1024x768 was a blessing. Since then I’ve always cherished every extra pixel I could get. I would never dare use anything above 1x scale.

The code is open anyone to inspect, test, and improve. Vulnerabilities don’t stay hidden as they are found, reported, and fixed in the open.

That’s also a myth, specially for a project of the size of nextcloud. Bugs can and do go unnoticed for years while in plain sight - with no way to know if it’s been detected by any black hat.

Even worse: as soon as you merge a security fix in an open repository, people will instantly be trying to abuse it in any environment they can find that is currently running the unpatched version.

I remember at one point the front-end guys I knew were laughing that it didn’t even support iframes. But I imagine it eventually got decent enough.

Meanwhile in my company the leadership just thinks that we have a messaging problem after the new AI stuff we implemented made absolutely no difference in the sales numbers.

Windows Vista is Microsoft’s greatest success, because it’s main purpose was to make people forget the promises made for Longhorn.

The malware is not on react-native, but react-native-aria. A “copy” of Adobe’s react-aria libs.

The last bullet point is not really that common anymore.
