Consumers should punish these behaviors fiercely.

I find deeply stupid to buy a tv that can potentially spy you but I am pretty sure they do it with phones also... Every day I want to keep tech more fenced and far from me and only use it for what I need.

> The actual reason is much simpler. The industry is built on a handful of game engines This is a strong reason, but then why in other areas they consider it over C++ for greenfield but it hardly happens in games?

Give me something like boost.multiindex for Rust, and maybe I could think of trying some experiments. I think C++ is an excellent choice due to its volubility actually. Bc when I want safety, I mostly have it (but I have done a lot of C++,

They strike different balances. Rust is absolute performance, similar to C++. Go is deliver fast and get a very good performance to effort ratio.

I recall (could be wrong, talk from the top of my head), VLC also did it years ago.

Not only force is a threat. When someone knows that the death of the rival is equivalent to ruining their own status, no matter how much additional force they have, things get much more balanced than you might think.

> capitalists would rather risk the extermination of entire groups of people than risking their wealth I think that if you study socialism in the 20th century you cannot say this seriously when you compare the alternatives.

I have a Switch 2, Nintendo user since I was very young, with the 8 bits NES, SNES, Game Boy, Nintendo 64... I would not change my Switch 2 for any PS5 or XBox, even if they are interesting :) It is indeed a hybrid, but a very well-thought

I have been building a SaaS for a business. One of the decisions I took is "as monolithic as possible" (though you cannot just use that). One reason is that microservice architecture requires much more operational overhead. So any

That is exactly what I do: set an stomic variable and do yhings outside of the handler.

But it can clearly be seen that the power will not be as monopolistic as before indeed. The rebalance leans towards losing power for states vs tech in part. Regulation alone cannot control if it cannot be made effective.

A great idea that each person does the same. That makes it a draw, namely, a Nash equilibrium.

I recently used Alpine.js (client-side, I know), and, as a person that does backend most of the time and is not super knowledgeable in frontend, I was amazed. I think that, combined with Htmx it can be a really powerful thing for lots of de

I am pretty sure that the goal of these companies at the end is ruling more than what governments can. Just look at the pattern... they collude, they provide to them whatever is needed, and at some point, if this is not true yet, they will

Noone is good here. Mr. Altman built a non-profit organization to help humanity, yes, that is what he said at first... This is a battle for power, let us not be naive...

To some extent collusion and geopolitics are a fact, indeed. I do not dispute that.
