> I think arguing that "driving" requires the same amount of effort as "not driving" is a more specious claim It's really not, the human brain is _really_ good at abstracting. In pretty much exactly the same way

Yeah that use case really sounds like they're on the cusp of just making a DSL from a config language. If you need it to be _that_ complex then just write your configs as code...

I can't speculate on the extremely long term, but my fairphone 3 is still getting OS updates pretty regularly. Fairphone 3 was released 3 years ago and I think the last OS update I got was ~3 weeks ago, so they're at least doing 3

Oh boy that slope sure seems slippery doesn't it? You know that reasoning can be applied to literally any removal right? There's _tons_ of stuff that it would be pretty reasonable to remove (and I'm sure you'd agree that

Like basically every browser-based app, so electron apps as well as most android apps. From my understanding iPhone apps work slightly differently but I sincerely doubt that it's not common place in that space as well. I'm not say

It's not a public commons if it's owned by a private individual or company... Yes it's popular and yes there's a lot of people on it and using it, but that doesn't make it a public commons, its ownership does.

You are broadly right about the last one not being a legal mandate. It was basically a case of the EU saying "you need to choose one charging port that you all use, we _will_ create a mandate if you don't". Importantly, the E

I mean the simple fact that every phone manufacturer bar Apple moved to Micro-B indicates that the mandate works, and the fact that they then migrated to USB-C indicates that it doesn't lock manufacturers in forever. In addition, Apple

I've found remote desktop a pain as well. On the occasion where I _have_ to use it I don't set it to fullscreen, just have it as a floating app at whatever resolution I care for. Then I just deal with the lower real-estate for how

Generally constrictors will constrict to cut off blood flow by squeezing. They're strong enough that their prey can't push out of the constriction, and they'll just sit and wait for them to die from lack of blood flow then st

Given things like the AMD Epyc cores sit at around 40 billion transistors, I would assume a (roughly) even split. It is also worth noting that the M1 Ultra is an SoC so it'll have more than just CPU/GPU on it, by the looks of thin

Don't get me wrong, the benefits of using ARM architectures for general purpose vs. x86 are really compelling. The performance of x86 has been a leader for a while mostly because of the sheer amount of optimization work that has gone i

Unless the M1 Ultra is actually magic I don't think it is possible. My guess is they're putting a lot of weight on the phrase "relative power" and hoping you assume it means "relative to each other" and not &qu

So induction is a useful method of proving stuff. You can't prove that S(n) is true for all values of n by just going through each possible n and proving it, since n can be anything so you'll be there a while. The way this works i
