The key word here is "impose". I can imagine a world where at time of purchase you would select which OS (if any) you would want pre-installed on the machine. Even a checkbox for Yes/No Windows would be an improvement.

Makepad looks really promising

The Apple foldable is coming. There's no way they invested so much R&D for a thinner phone if they aren't looking to get into that market.

"The Ali Baba Cave" example from the Wikipedia article is what made it click for me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-knowledge_proof.

The problem then it's anti-SLAPP not doing what it's supposed to.

I'm rather new to the concept of objects and morphisms myself, but I love how fields like category theory allow one to "zoom out" far enough in abstraction that two seemingly different concepts are actually the same applied to distinct contexts.

Doesn't the very nature of open-source mean you can just abandon it and have someone else take up the torch when you're done maintaining it?

In that case, Linux creators would be liable for not taking any steps within the Linux kernel preventing you from pirating a game on the platform.

I feel like the "killer app problem" is not unique to the Quest, but the whole VR ecosystem. I'm being cautiously optimistic Apple will finally break through and find an app that will appeal to the masses, and even though the price is not attainable for 95% of the population, that will trickle down and find it's way to the broader market.

>So what’s the killer app?

I feel like the answer to that question will come next year, when Apple's Vision Pro is out.

I agree much of this fall under "working for free" but it doesn't have to. I for instance, work as a web developer and really want to get into making games, which is a huge undertaking in itself. It requires deep, productive time of learning and experimentation, and I often find myself drained after work to tackle such activities.

However, I do feel like working through projects like this and coming out the other side with something tangible is a high like no other, and I despite how hard it might be, it's really invigorating and gratifying.

Yes, because China has double the population as the whole of Europe. Ceasing operations in the UK wouldn't hurt their revenue as much as doing so in China.

Quintessential Streisand Effect.

Can Google really do this? What if I'm using Safari on OS X, or Firefox on Linux?

I've heard time and time again how this is "the end of the free web". Can someone succinctly explain how this is the case, for somebody not familiar with web browser architecture? What does WEI provide that wasn't previously possible?

I'm of course speaking from an outsider's point of view, but do you think PHP was a good option, or was it a "fitting a square peg into a round hole" situation?

It's getting worse by the minute, too. What used to be a subreddit might now be a Discord server, which is in my opinion even worse, keeping solutions/questions to certain issues within Discord's own walls.

You now have to enter a server, search for your specific problem, and, if not found, ask someone and wait for them to respond. If results are on the first page of google it's much more friction-less and convenient imho.

This already exists to some extent, with the >> operator and lambdas.

```

first = ->(x){some code...}

second = ->(x){some code...}

third = ->(x){some code...}

(third >> second >> first).call(arg)

```

I agree it's not as clean as what you propose, but much better imo than traditional nested calls (and Haskell's `.`).

What initially "wow"s me about a game is how beautiful it is. What keeps me coming back to it time and time again, is how well put together it is as a whole.

That might be the case today, but I reckon it will become cheaper as time goes on, if found promising of course.

What brain signals would you reverse on a non-depressed person?

It would be interesting to know how much quiet time the brain needs to properly rest throughout the day.

However I feel like this question falls into the "optimise every second of the day" thought pattern which kinda goes against the point.

Not just bedrock; their grip has been tightening around Java edition too as of late.

Your comment made me ponder and interesting thought: In my personal bubble most people use Android phones and Windows machines (lower income country than the US) which does show how different the world varies from person to person.

At first, the "Windows is an afterthought" comment made me squirm inside, as in order to game or do anything remotely hardware intensive one would have to move over to a self-built machine, which means leveraging Windows or Linux.

However, it does look like we are (perhaps not so slowly) moving towards an always-online world, in which everyone owns a dumb terminal to which they access powerful hardware on the cloud. Want to game? You can do so on NVidia's or Microsoft's hardware. Want to run a complex machine learning algorithm? Huggingface has got your back. I fear that's where we're moving toward, and in my opinion, takes away freedom from the end user.

Most times, those "stores" you mention within Linux are just graphical frontends for package managers, nothing more than that.

It's really interesting how the natural ecosystem for wgpu and wasm seems to be Rust, when C++ is also a prime candidate. Could this be the recency bias associated with Rust being the new kid in the block?

Exactly this. I've tried to implement ChatGPT into may daily workflow, but you have to give it an excruciating level of detail to get something that remotely resembles real code I'd use, and even then you have to hold its hand to guide it in the correct direction, and still have to make some manual final touches at the end.

This is why I'm looking forward to Copilot X so much. It will hold much more context than the current implementation, and integrate the Chat interface that's so natural to us.

I love wezterm due to its ligature and colourscheme support, and the fact it's very clean and simple compared to, say, Konsole (I also generally use i3 leading to KDE apps not being the prettiest).

I've heard its parsing abilities are (almost) on par with Perl.
