You shouldn't check calls or texts while driving regardless of the type of phone, and on a smartphone you can at least have it announce who is calling or who sent the text (and even read the text for you.) You can also tell the phone t

Lab-grown diamond faced the same issue, but now it's considered diamond just the same by the FTC, so I'm not sure what the farmers are hoping for.

Apex Legends wants to do that at least. I think it's a pretty clever idea. https://kotaku.com/apex-legends-will-make-cheaters-play-agai...

It's not petty. Hacks in multiplayer games ruin the game for everyone else, and the hack developer hopes that the hack will stay undetected forever. That's not proud. It's more like "I hope you can use this to be asshole

Value isn't always apparent immediately. Quantum theory seemed largely useless, but now it's useful in computing.

Opting out is a trivial technical matter. You could even completely opt out of their search engine indexing if you so desire.

But they were always able to opt-out of the snippets quite easily. What they wanted was to have the snippets AND to get paid on top of that.

Well, to be fair. Everyone on here just reads the headlines and then the comments.

If the news site uses AdSense, which quite a few do, then yes. But I'm not sure if Google's extra profit is that significant. Especially when compared to the benefits the news sites get.

Also, even disregarding security issues. Maybe you just don't want your video game to crash during a boss fight? Memory safety isn't just important for security; it can also prevent lots of annoying bugs.

GUI is definitely an open problem in Rust, but to be fair, cross platform GUI is hard. In all of programming, it seems that Qt is about the best that we have when it comes to cross platform GUI, and I don't think most Rust developers c

I wonder if it is actually more complex. Emergent complexity is a thing, and one only needs to look at Go (the game; pun definitely (not) intended). The rules are dead-simple; you can learn them in under a minute. But to actually play the g

Looking at split-brain patients, it does seem like each hemisphere is a "core" which communicate via the corpus callosum. So you could say that our brains are multi-core.

I'd say Genode fits the bill. The cool thing is that parent processes have complete control over the services their children access and can block them, replace them, delegate them, etc. https://genode.org/

I imagine a year in solitary confinement (how is solitary even legal still?) would likely change your mind. I'd say no life is better than a life of torture, and taking "life of any quality is infinitely better than no life"
