Not really related to this, but are there good non-IP KVM's left? I'm in the market for one so we can move two home office desks into 1, but all the ones I find seem kinda shit. Asking for USB-C + 2 hdmi or displayports is apparen

The "me too" drug still need to go through an R&D, clinical trail and approval process, so combined with patents the exclusivity period is at least several years. Abolishing patents would completely remove the exclusivity peri

It seems your expectations are very mismatched. Most restaurants operate because people go there occasionally and relax and socialize. If you just want a quick meal there's more than enough places but you generally order at the counter

I don't know if it's an intentional joke or something, but your comment smell incredibly like it's written as AI. Per the writing, reading AI writing is like having something taste "chemical". Not very specific, but

That is the difference between global and local optima. We're not at a local optimum though, our bodies can probably evolve to produce half the urine or something without changing the route, but there is no evolutionary pressure to do

Evolution is the ultimate "good enough". Once the required threshold is passed, pressure stops. The threshold might constantly be moving due to competition, environment etc.

They say it's the skyrocketing load because of AI tooling Many people suspect it's the year-long migrating to Azure and all their products instead of the things they have been using.

It's primarily an online payment system, not a money transfer system. It has worked since forever (20+ years, it's a rebranded Dutch system) from web browser. Still does.

Twitter had a lot of side projects and people that were not needed to run their core business. E.g. they used to have a Linux kernel engineering team [1]. They argued their value, but I was always a tad skeptical. Even if they earned their

That was not actually the ad, that was "You wouldn't steal a car. [...] Downloading Pirated Movies is stealing. [...] Piracy it's a crime." Easily misremembered and meme-able.

That's not what the person I replied to asked at all, arbitrary types weren't mentioned. They literally asked why they couldn't write JsonObject.of(Map.of(...))

Java lacks the expressiveness to make it much better than this. There's a reason almost all the "replacement Java" languages add something to support DSLs, e.g. type safe builders in Kotlin [1] The kotlin stdlib-adjacent json

It's pretty normal, almost all libs work this way. This way you can parse the JSON string into the matching data structure or print it into a string, and when building you can ensure it's valid JSON.

Nah, there is little demand for it that's the reason. LLMs don't need a LSP, they work better without it often. Most Java devs use IntelliJ or another IDE with its inbuilt thing. For everyone else the existing one is good enough f

The "advantage" is that in contrast to heavy metals like lead lithium is a lot less toxic as far as we know. Not 0, but not in the same league.

There's a lot of nuance to that statement. Most languages, including e.g. Java or Typescript, would not be strongly typed according to your definition, because their type system is "unsound": there are known cases where the t

It's non-trivial to implement XML parser in a secure way, many stdlib ones are insecure by default. That should just not be a thing. XML has a bunch of vulnerabilities very specific to it, XXE is the most well known one, but you also h

Microsoft just tried a generation too early. They could have gotten away with it this gen, and assuming 2028 will be start of next gen it looks like next gen it will go over without a fight.

I'm so happy most modern language stdlibs decided having a guaranteed order for maps and other collections is a good idea. Although I can definitely respect Go's decision to always iterate over maps in a random order.

Their managed solution is pricey and especially the linear scaling with how much you use it is very meh. It's comparable with AWS lambda which also isn't cheap. However it's minor on a typical cloud bill. Self-hosting is very

Not retail ISPs, but many extensions and free VPNs route VPN traffic through the connections of those who use them.

In good faith I cannot see an argument here, it's either Region X was first and reduced their emissions 10-20% so it's fine and it's region Y that's the problem, or Region X is fine because they have less people, region
