One note, in video games allocations are a major source of slowdown; don't allocate in your inner loop! Use object pools and arena allocators.

Sure, but presumably if you're worried about it you can sideload your own version. Nonetheless you're absolutely correct; i would prefer firefox to chrome.

What are you imagining the hayday of email to have been like? It sounds like you're describing AIM in the 90s, or SMS in the early 00's. Before that there was IRC if you wanted realtime responses. Email has always been async. Mi

Yea, but this enables things like e2e encryption without losing a search index.

Thank god most code requires no innovation at all, and thank god i am the one automating others out of the job! Unless you're working on research, it's hard to buy physical proximity reducing throughput; just latency.

True, but I am highly skeptical most people will have issues producing this level of innovation from a coffee shop.

This is why you finally give up on the verge? What would you refer to the memo as: a cool-headed rational argument? I don't even think the engineer understood what he was arguing for; misogyny isn't hard to see, regardless of th

It doesn't.

Exactly. How is the profiling experience?

Thankfully the vast majority of work has nothing to do with innovation. I'd love to hear your argument for "progress", whatever that is.

Agreed, but it still had the secure enclave with touch id.

Well, multicore isn't going away; concurrency (if not parallelism) is necessary for responsive UIs. Did you have any specific improvements? The big requirements for distributed programming are mostly protobuf serialization and tcp&#x2F

How does ARC hold up for long-lived servers? Are the leaks manageable?

News will get to me. I need to proactively seek entertainment. I would rather pay for entertainment than news. Though of course i am a public radio funder.

ML is a real thing, unlike AI. No clue where the VR came from.

Yea, but that may be acceptable for eg previewing a photographer's work—you reach out for the originals.

Surely the watermark could also be ugly and irreversible; ie clamp to white.

I would classify this as subliminal seeding.

More than that, there are "straight to streaming" movies that are really good—people don't need the theater.

People are willing to pay for quality content and are not accustomed to it being free.

Mostly backpacks full of phones likely cost more than each phone could net you.

Really? I occasionally see lines for lunch, but that's more of a rush thing. Where do you see this?

I wouldn't view it like a warning so much as a reconition of our fears for the future. Few of the techs discussed would be easy sells for people.

Is it at all possible there are other psychoactive components to shrooms? I suspect not, but that might differentiate strains.

There are already psilocybin prodrugs that are legal on the market that are qualitatively identical after metabolizing. Pre-metabolism there may be distinct phenomena and concerns, but it degrades quickly. Cannabinoids are different entirel

Yea, usb is under "aux" in my car at least, and you are correct.

Ehh i don't think Bezos and Gates are the issue; it's that services (like libraries and public transit) are raising the value of nearby land. We should tax the beneficiaries; ie the landowners who today profit off tax payer invest

Possibly because research elsewhere is approaching their work independently.

Wouldn't it be better to wait until we have superliminal travel to run away if they don't like us? Or better yet, stay radio silent.
