WASM and WebGPU do help a lot. WebAudio is still severely limited though.

There have been a couple attempts at this stuff in the past years. Every time people get a bit closer. So far timing issues and performance of compute intense operations have been the killer. Good luck!

Yes, I don't need to pay for my eBay purchases in Tesla stock. This conversion rate has a financial impact on a lot of people. But also you're right.

*decrease

As someone who travels a bit I’ve got quite some food delivery and ride share apps on my phone. The marketing notifications are driving me crazy, I regularly miss relevant notifications because Grab, Uber, Uber Eats, Glovo, Bolt, and Cabify are all sending me almost daily notifications with some sort of cringe content trying to nudge me to take a cab/order food. Especially Uber Eats and Glovo are bad.

This is probably obvious to anyone but there isn't anything "good" about this, I expected this to be something along the lines of a crypto donation to GiveDirectly but this is just a sick wannabe Blackmirror power play.

I think your second paragraph might be jumping the gun a bit but yes in my experience the Reddit algorithm also highlights the worst of humans.

Also the "general" Reddit opinion on topics tends to skew super pseudo-intellectual and shortsighted.

One remarkable thing here is the difference between comments and up-votes. It's not unusual to see a post trending where the top comment directly undermines the idea expressed in the post. Either by pointing out it's falsehoods or logical inconsistencies.

Aren’t those just for the Asian market?

If you really want to fix it, take the AoA connection course with someone close to you. It will probably be pretty tough, a lot of people drop out, but it sounds like exactly what you need. It's unreasonably effective and is heavy on the integration, not just theory.

Why does anyone care about this?

This is such a bad take, almost everything here is wrong in some way, e.g. see the other comments.

This sounds like a very US minded view on EU. As an EU who has been to the US a couple of times I could write the exact same piece with the opposite conclusion.

Housing is smaller but one doesn't live in a suburb, cars are more expensive but that's the idea, fuck cars. The one that stood out to me the most is "so is food". What? American supermarkets are cra-zy expensive to me.

I'm not saying you're wrong but that both our analyses are probably nonsensical.

Try reversing that transaction

There are a lot of claims in this article about MIDI1.0 that are misleading at best, it makes it sound more limited & crude than it is. Still it's indeed very nice to see some improvements here, especially since some were transitioning to proprietary communication protocols over HID.

KiCAD 5 was the point where it got good enough for the people wanting to switch to do so. Let's hope this release makes people not looking to switch want to so.

Some of the improvements look universally great (especially sweet & simple ones like the ratsnest improvement) others will slightly alienate the current users but hopefully make the program feel more familiar to first time users.

Second this. Oh and it’s not reaaaaly abandoned, they just called it done.

I looked into using this as well but eventually decided against it due to the lack of active development.

There's a link to all their photo's at the top of the page.

Right?? What kind of maniac is in charge of product there?

I'm a big fan of Marshall but this is just so clueless. People appreciate the video *because of the cost* that... that's the thing! This is not genuine, at. all.

>If I was a retail store owner greeting customers at the entrance and someone came to me and offered to place a clone to do the same job, so I could be productive in the back, would I take that offer? Yes.

No you wouldn't. Because a creepy clone at the entrance that is unable to reply to customers or interact with them in a genuinely dynamic way would be terrible. Which is what this is.

I don't like being negative but this, this just sucks. You're tricking people in believing you paid a higher cost for that video than you did and thus about the amount of fucks you give about them. Furthermore once more companies start doing this, this format will lose it value because it no longer demonstrates anything even from actual genuine people.

I just finished this and as a big fan of Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality I enjoyed this a lot as well.

Anyone with an analytical/rational mindset will probably love both, even if you're normally not into fiction.

Don't expect to be able to discuss it with anyone that hasn't read it - or something like it - though.

One ridiculous example is Revolut.

I'm nut sure but I think they change their UX/UI about once a month, it's so extremely frustrated that a banking app, which is just a tool, not for entertainment, has to be figured out again and again because they keep changing it. Without adding anything. The UX never improves, just changes...

It very much is, they skip the part of someone's life where they just cost (a lot of) money and get right to the part where they are making money of them.

Expats even get tax breaks to incentivize them to come here. Which is fair IMO. However it sucks big time for the countries they leave behind (brain drain, net negative financial impact).

> While Cornet's comics included plenty of critiques, he also found they were sometimes a way to have a positive impact within the company. After Google employee James Damore circulated his memo that included many sexist statements about the "natural abilities" of female vs. male engineers

I think this is misleading and to me makes it sound like James Damore is some sort of male supremacist, memo here: firedfortruth.com

> That said, I am also shocked by how many full time developers don't take the time to understand their own code. Let alone the libraries they use.

Own code would be bad but libraries? That's kinda the idea of an abstraction layer.

It's probably just my non-native context/semi-translation messing with my understanding, if someone told me "they are at the door" I'd be like "They!?"

Ah got it! So the solution is pretty much to prefix a short sentence to provide context that indicates that they is going to be used in a non-standard way, so instead of:

"They are at the door right now, please open it asap"

You'd say:

"Someone is visiting, they are at the door right now, please open it asap"

This indeed does not sound unnatural or misleading to me anymore.

(I know you'd probably just rephrase the second sentence but this is just and example)

How would you rephrase: "He requires access."

They require access would imply multiple people right?

Basically: They are knowingly (since 60's) contributing to a preventable dangerous situation, which is illegal in NL.

it sounds more like:

   // start up device
   if (user.last_pmt_date < today - 30daysago) return "please pay us"

but yhea

Yes and they were considering shutting down GCP, can't make this shit up
