Python is bad, but bash is worse as soon as you need any kind of logic.

There's no shame in using `os.system`.

Can fines given in a country be deducted from profit in an other country?

Very cool. You are pretty close to being able to play Stadia on GBA :-)

One thing that DeepMind demonstrated was that sometimes one well funded team is much better than 50 poorly funded teams.

We have no point of comparison. Is this more than usual?

One thing that is fantastic about digital menus is that you can search in them.

To take advantage of a 1000 Hz monitor, you'd need to render 1000 different images per seconds!

And if you can renderer 1000 images per seconds, then generating motion blur that work on a 100 fps monitor is as simple as displaying an average of 10 frames.

The various motion blur techniques allow simulating higher frame rate without paying the full cost of rendering all the extra frames.

That's accurate:

A related question about this: if an account was flagged for something (e.g. the account was shadow banned), is it OK by GRPD standards to:

1/ not tell the user this info.

2/ keep track of the fact this account was flagged after the account was deleted, for instance by keeping a hash of the email address of the accounts that were flagged?

They have an OS running on a consumer device that connects to the wifi where you can play media, browse the web, and run flutter apps, so it seems like they already put the time and effort.

It even self-updates, so in some sense it's already ahead of the standard linux distributions!

I wonder what is the cost of accelerating 60kg to 40km/h every 2 minutes for a day.

That would be Google's second (at least!) bluetooth stack in Rust, the first one being in Fuchsia.

One of the goal of microkernels is to get rid of a whole class of security issues. In some cases it may trade performance for that. In some cases you can get better performances, but you have to rewrite your software to take into account the microkernel.

Regarding Cosmopolitan, one issue is that different executables can't talk to each others efficiently because they are in separate unikernels. If they are running in the same unikernel then you have essentially zero security, unless your unikernel is actually running another kernel!

In other words, unikernels aren't great for consumer devices.

Anyone else bothered by the black banner saying "Google is committed to advancing racial equity for Black communities" in technical documentation (https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/contribute/roadmap) ?

This is simply an advertisement for Google, and just like any other advertisement it has nothing to do in technical documentation, especially in a project where they want other companies to contribute.

They can't, and that's the whole point. The security comes from the sandbox, not from the review process.

Reading the comments it seems that very few people understand this, which seems incredible to me.

Amp was a reaction to Apple News and Facebook News: using those applications to read the news was a much better experience than using the web. Why? Mainly for two reasons:

1/ Apple and Facebook were hosting all the content.

2/ The content did not come with megabytes of JS and other unnecessary crap.

Amp is an attempt at saving the web, and Google is interested in that for the reason that you gave: they make their money from the web.

Google Music is 30% more expensive when purchased via iOS. If that seems insane, it's because it is.

It's crazy that Google is doing all that research and giving it for free to all their competitors.

"folly requires gcc" That's surprising to me. Clang and the associated tools are so useful I would have expected all tech companies to have migrated to it.

This is an electric car with an USB charge slot. Your phone is not going to die before your car.

You can improve the precision by using visual feedback, but there are movements that are impossible to do if you don't have precise enough motors.

A form builder can evolve into an app builder.

Are these changes only for Windows?

I feel like you don't know what you are talking about. Do you know what a cubemap is, how to generate one, and how to use it to render reflections?

Very nice.

> What would cause someone to just leave that and turn against the company?

He didn't leave, he got fired because he was stupid and got caught.

It will increase stability in a very important way because they apparently want stability of drivers, which Linux does not offer.

> Among the tech crowd, probably. For the remaining 99.99% of users, absolutely not.

Guess who sets up the computers for the remaining 99.99%? If you seduce the tech crowd, you also get the other users.

I've been wondering for a long time about how ECS can be cache friendly.

If you look at Overwatch's ECS ( https://youtu.be/W3aieHjyNvw?t=326 ), there are many systems that can read from 10+ different components. For every entity in this system, at least 10 reads with no locality whatsoever are done. That seems crazy slow to me.
