Evil is not a religious concept.

Drunk driving is a stupid thing people do. Murder is an act of evil.

A 27% cut will make a 3rd party payment service a non starter for all but the biggest app.

For small players a 3% savings isn't worth the administrative overhead of paying apple separately.

Apple is begging for another lawsuit over this.

Unlikely, you would have to convert every linked library, and every system call would have to be supported by the wasm runtime.

IANAL, but if you fork a project and change the licence, the new license only applies to your modifications.

Electron apps work with screen readers and os accessibility feature.

Unless accessibility becomes a first class concern, game engines are not going to be good choices for desktop applications.

$895 in 1990, which is more expensive than the last non cloud version (CS6), released in 2012.

How many hundreds of thousands of projects fall under that NIH budget?

China recently allocated $41 Billion just to improve chip production. The US hasn't spent like that since the Apollo program.

China has one big advance over the US. A government willing to throw unlimited funds and specific science or engineering problems.

To get that kind of commitment you the strong backing of senators from a dozen different states. It rarely happens in non military projects, and when it does it's a boondoggle. Look to the SLS project, $12 billion spent to recycle space shuttle engines from the 70s and 80s.

I couldn't disagree more. I work on a very small team, and our current projects use big modern JS frameworks. Our productivity has never been higher. I absolutely hate having to touch old projects, that I had to build from much lower level APIs.

This was my first thought as an armchair expert. I'm sure the real experts have considered this possibility.

FAANG money is a relatively recent thing. Stock options used to be the only way you might make millions as a developer, at that was always a gamble. The NSA probably has a lot of seasoned developers who started their careers when the pay gap was much smaller.

Does the world need a general purpose alternative to IP networking?

I suspect that in any applications where IP is not the best choice, the best choice will be a minimal protocol that doesn't try to reimplements everything IP does.

Haxe is a nice language, but it's doesn't really allow you to deploy any haxe code on any languages runtime.

It doesn't provide a consistent enough api across all of the language backends. For example, the tink http framework only targets node and php.

American English is a bit more sane than British English. Noah Webster and other american dictionary publishers change a lot of spellings to be closer to their pronunciation.

IPFS only retains data as long as it is pinned by users.

If something goes wrong with my generator, there are dozens of companies I can hire to service it.

If something goes wrong with a powerwall, I don't have enough followers on X to get the attention of someone at Tesla.

I would like to see the basics linear algebra taught in high-school. Lack of knowledge of linear algebra is extremely insidious. If someone who doesn't know calculus encounters a calculus problem, they recognize it as something they can't solve. If someone unfamiliar with linear algebra comes across a linear algebra problem, they see it as an extremely difficult algebra or trig problem. I've personally seen programmers apply trigonometry to problems that only require addition and subtraction to solve.

The internet didn't exist then, and it's still an Apples and oranges. Billions of people have access to crypto technology now, and there are no gatekeepers preventing them form participating.

Arpanet was started 1969 and you had to be part of a small number of institutions to have access.

I thought we are at the stage of DeFi where most people realized it has flaws that can only be fixed with centralization.

Most crypto users are already using online exchanges and wallets, so from their perspective it already is centralized.

True decentralized crypto only has niche applications outside a small number of enthusiasts.

I don't buy into this argument. If someone doesn't have the knowledge and motivation necessary to use another platform, they aren't going to be making meaningful contributions to your project.

It might mean less bug reports from users who find bugs, but aren't deeply affected by them.

The upside is a lot less garbage in your issue tracker.

Even if the app is trustworthy, it still adds an attack vector to your system. It could have a bug, or the certificate could be exploited by another program.

And some people still don't understand why distros are so eager to dump X11 for wayland.

There's also a lot of ignorance at play. I know an American doctor whose had patients worry about the surgery robot going rogue.

Of course it's broken. It also won't power on unplugged, even with a full battery.

Definitely not googles finest device.

The majority of USB C ports will never support 240W power delivery.

My pixel slate has a USB-C port that will only charge in one orientation.

Corporate firewalls are going to allow QUIC sometime between never and the heat death of the universe.

If your choices are Motif or the Athena toolkit, rolling your own UI is an understandable choice.

Are there any implementations if this I could recommend to a non techie who makes stuffed animals from patterns?
