If mankind can't stomach 10% overhead to check array bounds and collect unused memory, what makes anybody think they can sell 1,000,000% overhead to make your DRM driver (and viruses) harder to reverse?
It's how they've always done things. It was about 10 years after the last 68k Mac shipped before the entire classic OS was power. Same with moving everything from carbon to cocoa.
Seems likely they simply don't sell enough full-cost unsubsidised phones direct to consumers to warrant a separate firmware for that stream. Not surprising, phones are expensive these days, and almost everybody is on a contract for their SIM anyway, so why not get it from the carrier?
I don't, but I know I'm the weirdo. The only other people I know who buy phones outright are my brother because he keeps dropping them and smashing them, and a mate who buys my old iPhones when I upgrade every 2 years or so because he knows I look after them.
Because in the 90s in California, body-on-frame small trucks were immune from some emissions and safety requirements, making it the only way to get a powerful v8 as well as a great way for GM and Ford to save a few bucks. Follow that up with 30 years of monkey-see-monkey-buy, and here we are.
They're not doing it to "protect" europeans, they're simply hoping the eu marketplace is big enough that they can make US companies change their software in ways that would violate (at least) the 1st and 4th amendments if the government demanding it were in Washington.
Of course nobody wants to work there, it's a Delphi shop. It doesn't matter how nice using Delphi might be, it's going to make getting your next job significantly more difficult.
Unless you've been hired specifically to address a culture problem and been given the resources and powers with which to do so, don't be that guy. All the people who are in your immediate vicinity already know about the problems and they don't have the power to change it either.
It's a step in a positive direction that Deno makes you explicitly grant a script permission to do some things, but that's not at all what is meant by capabilities, and that's absolutely the wrong word to use to describe it. A capability is a first-class concept that exists at runtime, and is a value you must pass to dependencies that need it. You should also be able to use it to create new, dependent capabilities with fewer rights, and they should in general be much finer-grained than "can access the internet" to be of real use.
Because that's not what they (the machine, not any particular persons or parties) are using to do most of their ill. The weapons most often wielded against the citizens who get uppity aren't rifles and batons, but the media and financial institutions, and centralisation in general. Alternative decentralised and temporary systems built on math are the answer.
Instead of trying to tweak how we select the people that want to control every aspect of our lives, we simply reduce the power the state has to do so? The less power the machine has, the fewer incentives there are to get control of it, and the less damage is done when the wrong people do so.
I would like to see a lot more of them in the world, as interactive tools as well as simply diagrams. I think they would make a great basis for a UI to design multi-step async processes where things can fail at any point and you want to handle different failures differently.
This is a bug in the meat, and is not going away. The problems are well understood, thanks to decades of examples in semi-automated trains, boats, airplanes, and industrial monitoring systems.
Until "self driving" is good enough that you're legally allowed to ride it drunk, it should not be allowed to do anything more complicated than radar cruise and lane-keeping.
It's easy; help people who are trying to use or understand your software, or show (in detail) how your software helps solve problem X which was actually being discussed organically. Having a helpful friend who works for the company is a lot more useful than having an annoying salesbot interrupting your conversations.
The correct response is "fuck off cunt" because then they're going to have to spend a bunch of time bleeping you before any advertising-friendly platform will let you become a meme for their own profit.
These are almost entirely a list of things that could not exist without (pre-existing) celebrity status, or simply purchases made to get a jump-start on network effect value for an adtech platform that exploits rather than empowers users.
Why would you open a blog post about X not with a link to it, but a link to the author's twitter page? That has no use to many of us, who can't even scroll down through the tweets looking for a link should we feel... spelunky....
Fat guy here: these side effects are pretty scary for somebody like me.
3 months of noticeably extra fatigue on top of my current baseline level of exhaustion seems to threaten serious psychological effects.
3 months of brain-fog sounds like a great way to get fired and really fuck up my life.
If my "gastro situation" was noticeably worse than the unpredictable wildy-swinging nightmare it already is, I honestly have no idea how bad the consequences could be for my social life (I would be the flakiest person anybody knows and everybody hates that guy) and ability to make plans / focus long enough to do any work.
For some reason, I don't know why but I've always been this way, there's nothing my body hates and wants to avoid more than throwing up. I dread it. I'm not so sure I enjoy life enough to get through 3 months of nausea.
Unless you want feedback, attention, or are trying to build public credibility, there are no benefits and many risks, in a world of shifting goalposts, infinite recall, and constant attempts to hold people in the past accountable to the moral standards of today.
