Seriously though, I respect the ideal of using HTML as much as possible for what it's made. But the web is more than just pure content sites. And Javascript provides a lot of nice things as well.
This is much more representative; if you look at a country's population and at their politicians you will see large differences in age, education, wealth etc. This can be used to overcome that by selecting, as much as possible, a random representative group of people, much as you would in a scientific study. It also avoids party agendas and things like that.
Is there really something wrong with IPv6? Isn't this just another case of resistance to change and the envisioned cost of it vs the benefits? I think it's just a matter of (even more) time.
Seeing the demo did make me wonder why they chose cursor movement as a first achievement even though that's also possible using eye tracking. Still, seems like something that could greatly benefit people so I hope it will.
I wonder if/when real versions of Chrome and Firefox will become available through these stores. Or would that still not be allowed without using Safari WebKit as the base?

Of course there will be lots of molecules involved, but that doesn't make it any easier to understand let alone do something about it. In medicine and especially in psychology our functioning is a huge black box with only indirect knowledge about interactions with certain things at a very high level.
OK, so a sort of catalog of your personal files across all of your devices and cloud services. Intriguing, but I don't see a practical use for myself yet.
I wouldn't say the Volkskrant is left wing. I always thought of it as a populist, i.e: right wing these days, paper. But I guess to US almost everything is left wing; whatever that really means. Unfortunately we seem to be following in the US' footsteps again as we have many times before, normalizing types of thinking we found reprehensible not so long ago.
Meanwhile politics is even less capable of dealing with the large issues we face with climate and an aging population. I'm afraid this is going to become a lot worse still before we come to our senses again.
I wish TSDoc would also support this, not to mention get a little love and attention in general. The spec for code linking has never been finished and the tooling like typedoc is limited and cumbersome, not to mention inconsistent with how other tools like VS Code parse and show it.
Is it possible to create really reliable guard rails at all? And aren't those not just stifling undesirable but also better responses? Why not leave the rails off and leave it to users to guard themselves and perhaps suggest better prompts?
As it is, covering up only some of the shortcomings, I think users are inclined to take the results too seriously, not taking possible hallucinations and ingrained prejudices into account.
Not the only weak spot, but a great idea, yes. Certain apps have become like infrastructure, practically impossible to avoid and very valuable to citizens. So it makes sense to regulate it like this to bring into the control of those citizens.
How is Meta's model open like PCs? Do they allow you to modify the hard and software? Do they allow other hardware manufacturers to also use their store?
Nobody uses iMessage _because_ it was crap and is still locked in. If it would just connect to other messaging networks I would probably switch to it as it could provide better standard integrations with other apps. Unfortunately products aren't optimized for users but for profit and regulation here is dropping the ball again.
Ah good old meritocracy, it can't be that I'm doing so well largely based on luck can it? That would be unfair. Must be mostly about me working so hard. Other people are just lazy.
I also applaud this and personally would prefer to just pay for services instead of being the product, but I'm afraid this is not a popular opinion. People don't want to pay, at least not knowingly. I'm curious how this will play out.
I'm happy to live in a country with good tap water. But I'm afraid by this time all of the water is already infested with plastic, including ground, river and rain water.
How do these people imagine XR to be used? I don't see what 5G will have to do with that. Also I imagine bandwidth getting clogged quickly once this starts to really compete with wired internet? I mean better and faster connections are clearly useful and the way forward, but jeez all this sales talk.
I don't understand how starting to build nuclear reactors at this point in time makes sense when it takes over 10 years for them to become productive and they are now already more expensive energy sources when compared to solar and wind.
I’m surprised how we’re all still using line based diffs and even seemingly stupid ones at that. But the tales I hear from across the pond of paid git alternatives which diff based on understanding the programming language seem to be pretty bad as well. Though for other reasons?
Haven't people been streaming live sets using https://www.shoutcast.com/ etc for ages already? Is that illegal and was this supposed to be a legal alternative or something?
I remember running my own little icecast server with some PHP back in the day when MP3s were still new to allow me and my friends at university to stream my music like a jukebox. I think that was around 1998 or so.
Not really it's just a proven psychological effect applied successfully in many places: people will drive as fast as they feel comfortable. Make it too comfortable and they'll start speeding. This is not to say to actually make it dangerous or impassible or anything of course.
I think all centralized and practically unavoidable to use services should be run by non profit organizations controlled and subsidized by democratically voted governments. That way they would serve people instead of the other way around. You see the same kind of thing with unavoidable things like infrastructure; people and countries thrive if they take care of it instead of trying to compete or worse, monopolizing it.
Or at least regulate to that end. Perhaps the EU could simply require all large companies like meta to support ActivityPub for services like this.
