Will there be any traditional user-serving browsers left a few years from now?

One can hope that by then Ladybird has landed. There was some rumblings about an alpha release come 2027 so "few years" might actually be achievable if the speed remains constant.

Maybe the next generation of MacBooks will also actually have exactly 90° non-rounded corners?

Depends who owns the patent for that.

The most ludicrous case of trademark issues I've seen to date has been Apple suing Prepear because they had a pear as their logo but Monster suing someone because of the term monster is not far from falling equally as far from the tree of wisdom and common sense.

The way this trend is going we might need "rewritten in Rust" catalog similar to Google's graveyard.

Richard they did it. You can rest now.

Take the vax or lose your job. Two weeks to flatten the curve. You are killing grandma. "Lab leak" was a dirty word. The science has settled. A bloody live death count on the news.

It seemed that every conceivable way to pressure, force, guilt trip and coerce people into taking the CV was utilized during covid. Enough that no doubt many people are highly suspicious of any authority henceforth and no amount of research will sway them from that. The trust simply isn't there. Yet.

Time is the only cure.

Good thing Attenborough got there first so Mel can still play with lego's. I hope there is a reference in the new Space Balls for that. Such a funny little quirk.

Better call Web Dude

Nothing Phone comes probably the closest to bare bones at least what I have come across.

I’m certain newer LLMs will likely not attempt to rewrite it from scratch

Sooner or later a Rust developer will try.

Guess Donut went with "fake it till you make it" business strategy but somewhere along the way forgot the "make it" part.

How very Wernher von Braun of them.

I would imagine MS employees might (or be made to) either directly or through wsl.

This reminds me of George Carlin standup routine about PTSD. If you want to make any bad news sound less bad, just wrap the concept around complicated jargon to sterilize it.

It's all fun and shells until you start adding parameters especially when those parameters have quotemarks in them. Groovy can get pretty wild with the syntax.

Waiting on the legislation demanding that every underwear must have these "safety" features and then someone will insert a meter to those and start taxing us for every single puff.

Makes one wonder what the AI was trained with for it to settle on "no means yes if I justify it to myself well enough"

There are no privacy concerns because there IS no privacy. /s

.NET does have flags to include the necessary dependencies with the executable these days so you can just run the .exe and don't need to install .net on the host machine. Granted that does increase the size of the app (not to mention adding shitton of dll's if you don't build as single executable) but this at least is a solved problem.

Kind of. What is an interesting topic of debate is that B5 aired at the same time with Deep Space 9 (pilots were released a month apart). DS9 switched out the "adventure of the week" formula from Star Trek for a long form storytelling and it is fought over to this day if one copied from another.

B5 is known for the fact JMS had a full five year arch planned from the start (due to O'Hare's unfortunate state of mind he was forced to pivot with Boxleitner as well as season 4-5 got gutted for other reasons) but I can't recall if DS9 had similar aspirations from the get go or if they eased into it as the story progressed. For comparison: was the Dominion War in the cards all the way from episode 1 or did it come into play later?

Those who come to this magnificent piece of Sci-Fi for the first time, a word of advice: Pay attention. There are things set in motion in season 1 that are resolved multiple seasons later and there's a lot of foreshadowing (pun very much intended) both subtle and overt.

Oh and, enjoy the ride. It's a good one.

The big appeal for me was that Tauri didn't ship an entire Chrome browser to make it work. It never even occurred to me to gauge the webview used in such detail.

On Linux, Tauri not only ships its own webview, it's also an old and fundamentally broken webview

I'd love to hear some details on this. What is Tauri shipping now and what should it ship instead?

I was hoping to find a database of bunnies. I was left sadly disappointed.

Risky business, creating TV shows out of incomplete book series and Cosmere has several. Granted, technically each of those series are standalone and some like Mistborn are timejumped in such a way that each trilogy can be seen as it's own entity so unlike GOT Sanderson and Apple has more wiggle room.

Also, Sanderson is pretty much the exact opposite of GRRM in terms of quantity of writing so odds are good even Stormlight is finished by the time Apple even gets to the first book.

Let's break it down to traditional skill level terminology

Apprentice: Ubuntu, Fedora

Journeyman: Arch, Debian, Gentoo

Master: Linux From Scratch

Github has an "archived" function. Kinda wish there was a similar "completed" flag too.

I am currently using one that is prevented from connecting to the internet via firewall rules from my router and all media comes from a separate jellyfin server. Had to allow enough of an internet access to install the app but once that was done, everything going outside lan is blocked.

Also most tvs have usb ports so maybe either raw media or some third part dongle can service as well?

Also also, most tvs of this caliber have hdmi you can plug your computer to.

There was outrage to be had and those who revel in it pounced.

I seem to recall that once upon a time the default type for a button was in fact "button" but at some point (somewhere in the region of html 5 / es6) it was switched into "submit".

I use git hooks in professional setting to prefix every commit message with the ticket the commit belongs to (this is done by extrapolating the ticket id from the feature branch name). It works pretty well and has saved my bacon a couple of times when I needed to figure out the provenance of a particular commit. Especially useful when I had to ask why that particular change was necessary.
