Back in the real world Apple phones are made by Chinese subcontractors who do not work for Apple and who’s working conditions are so poor that people kill themselves at work on such a regular basis that they had to install suicide nets to just stop people of jumping out of windows.

This is literally a data collection scam run by US intel / law enforcement to collect biometrics with some “plausible” reason. Now it’s a chance to grab your passwords and private conversations too. Act accordingly,

The JS community is so freaking strange sometimes.

You should

You’re doing that thing that people sometimes do where they say something incredibly naive but do so in such a confident manner that they imply they are really this enlightened individual and it’s everyone else who’s dumb.

But this idea that you’ve put forth really doesn’t hold up to even the lightest bit of scrutiny when you actually start thinking about what this would look like in reality.

There is almost zero credible evidence I think you could point to that this even vaguely resembles a credible path that we are on in reality. Sometimes theoretical models don’t match reality and this sure seems to be a good example of that.

If you want proper run time type safety you’re going to need a language designed for that which Typescript never was. I write a bunch of Dart which I compile to Wasm and get proper run time type safety in the browser and it works great.

I genuinely don’t understand this sentiment at all. Typescript looks great when you put it next to JavaScript in most cases. And looks like shit when you put it next to any other modern language that emerged from a similar time frame (Kotlin, Dart, Swift etc..)

I really don’t see TypeScript destined for long term success with the rise of Wasm on the web. It is only where it is currently because it has operated at a huge advantage of being the only viable solution to a problem that every web developer has needed.

I say this as someone who writes a lot of typescript professionally and a lot of Dart for everything else I possibly can. The difference between the two is huge on almost every factor I can think of where Dart wins by a considerable margin. I’m thankful that Typescript existed at a time when it did but I don’t think it’s in anyway actually a good or sensible language (because it’s so closely to JavaScript) and I can’t wait to not have to use it in the future because better options exist and are becoming viable for more use cases.

Tobi (Shopify CEO) is an absolute fucking weirdo who deserves no respect.

I don’t think Steve Bannon is to blame for “wokeness” and your analysis has more than a couple of holes in it.

Or Flutter for that matter, which is actually also incredibly nice to work with.

They literally planned an insurrection there. I fail to see what’s even remotely controversial about this.

Not only is it not dead it’s under HEAVY active development and has been for quite some time now.

They seem particularly focused on the Linux compatibility layer (starnix) as far as I can tell.

I’d say they are most likely going to end up becoming the thing that Android sits on top of. There is already public indications of some variant of it called “microfuchsia” coming to Android. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that this is all part of the same launch that they are working towards here.

With the exception of evangelical Christian’s where there’s obviously a huge amount of overlap I’ve never seen a group so eager to be lied to and so lacking in critical thinking as MAGA folks.

That hasn’t been true now for sometime. That crowd is all on Bluesky now.

OP has just completely pulled this analysis out of their ass. They aren’t all constantly running g cyber operations on Reddit, that bears zero resemblance to what cyber operations look like in real life including the point that you raised.

Christ the moderation here really is bad sometimes. 404 are one of the only independent tech journals who are doing good reporting and what’s HN do? Ban them. Bravo guys.

Google’s Rule of Two [1] jumped out to me the moment I saw this combined with what seems to be a group of semi-anonymous authors on GitHub and this project while cool and a huge amount of work is also a bit of a yikes I think.

I know the common thinking is that “Fuchsia is dead” (it’s not check the repo it’s under heavy daily development) but it’s developing a new Rust based networking stack that’s really worth digging into [2] if that’s your idea of fun.

Your analysis is literally decades out of date.

MALA: Make America Literate Again.

P.S which one is it? The best in the world or terrible? You didn’t seem to be able to hold a coherent thought for a full sentence. Between this and an inability to understand the advanced statistical concept of percentages I can’t help but think that things aren’t going particularly well for you at the moment.

Really only finding a way to match almost every negative US stereotype possible here. I feel like I lost brain cells just reading it. This is that famous education system in action.

I genuinely laughed when I read this. Like you had set up an argument in your mind where if even one person moved from the EU to the US you were going to be right and the best part is I don’t think you’re joking like you actually believed this. Back in the real world though everyone understands that 99.9% means everyone.

But sure, do go on telling people to “learn English better” while you proudly continue on through life with a first grade reading comprehension and math skills.

I always thought Google had some interesting insights and ideas when they were playing around with the now abandoned service weaver project: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2023/03/introducing-servic...?

More academic and language neutral introduction here if that’s your thing: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2404.09357

That was genuinely some of the worst analysis I’ve read in a long time. Almost every single point you made is fun house mirrors.

Yeah anyone who’s worked at meta in the last ten years I would not hesitate to label as a creep.

It’s just not actually a very good language for writing UIs in compared to say Dart, Swift or Kotlin.

I suspect this may not feel super helpful at first but I thought it worth mentioning, my first reaction to something like that was strongly negative and my guard went up immediately, it’s quite a weird dynamic that you’re stepping into of people who by the nature of their relationship have known each other their entire lives and you’re trying to talk to one on behalf of the other about a topic that requires a bunch of trust despite neither of the people in this scenario knowing you.

None of that is personal obviously just the gut reaction I got reading that initially. I suspect maybe nobody has mentioned it before and it might be helpful to hear on the assumption that others feel similar.

I don’t know how this changes for people who are less sure how to have that conversation and I suspect the fact that I’m a real life security person might have something to do with it.

Edit: I just saw the website after this and I get what you’re doing and can see how maybe it makes sense for some but I’d never recommend this to my own parents, I don’t think sticking an AI in the middle of all of their personal communications is the right answer and I’d have a lot of questions about how that data gets used to be honest.

Again, nothing personal but there’s just no possible universe where I’m setting something up so that every personal message I ever send my parents again is getting silently sucked up into some random company’s cloud to be read and analyzed and then paying them money for that. One of the things I actually had to show them was how to disable that kind of shit on their Gmail accounts for example.

Literally had this conversation this week with my parents. Weird fucking times…

Just checking a real basic assumption here. Is there a scenario in your mind where a government says that legally its citizens can not consume certain material that ISN’T authoritarian? Because I don’t even know where to start with a premise like that to be honest with you.

I think you’re actually just incredibly unfamiliar with history to be honest and might be mixing up a Reagan quote about border control and extrapolating that into something very different.

Even in incredibly recent times what do you think the position was regarding the monthly magazine Al-Qaeda published was? It certainly wasn’t the “marketplace of ideas” I’ll tell you that much.
