perhaps… i guess the single directional execution model would help to prevent memory leaks, and components would help keep things relatively contained… and also javascript in general avoids whole classes of c/c++ bugs… but it’s also incredibly slow. imo it’s just not something you should write core system components in

to be clear, it’s not react that’s the problem here: its execution model is an excellent way of structuring UI… but something as core as the start menu just really isn’t something you should fuck around with slow languages with

and also, that’s not to say that FOSS shouldn’t do it - they’re open, and thus something like react makes it easier for devs to write plugs and extend etc… but that’s not an engineering concern for windows: they don’t get the luxury of using extensibility as an excuse

little measurable difference? the last time they rewrote something they replaced the start menu with fucking react

the difference will be measurable and enormous

yeah they do certainly exist, but bog standard “red light cameras”… ie single purpose cameras are not that kind of problem… imo, as long as they’re deployed to combat actual issues they’re very much a beneficial tool

i think it’s important to differentiate these new kinds of cameras from the single purpose cameras so that arguments against them can be made independently

red light cameras - at least in australia - are stock standard canon DSLRs… they take images, but not video

there are some newer ones that do things like photos of people using their phones stopped at lights etc, but generally speed/red light and “single purpose” cameras will just be doing stills, and wouldn’t be too useful for anything other than a single photo when the sensor triggers it

that’s all irrelevant though… the rule is the rule and they got caught

people should be allowed to have awards for games which only use humans, and if a game is caught cheating they should be disqualified

if they want to compete for some awards, these aren’t the awards for them: there are others

it’s kinda irrelevant to the make it to production part though: the rule is no gen ai used during development… there’s no ifs, buts, or maybes here: there definitively was, and nobody is denying that

it’s irrelevant whether you agree with the rule or not… the award is for games that didn’t use AI during development. the game should not have originally been in contention for the award

i tend to agree this is the right way to use AI assets, but this isn’t the award for them… it doesn’t matter if it was accidental, if it was removed before release, or anything else

The software had a limit on the size of the feature file that was below its doubled size. That caused the software to fail.

this is not a rust problem… nor was the original problem of code writing entries to a file multiple times, and nor is the thing that made it worse: propagation of the poisoned file

the cloudflare issues were configuration… they have nothing even remotely relayed to any of this

github copilot is fantastic for exactly this reason… completes a few lines, auto corrects, automatic find and replace, automatically fills a 3 line function body that would otherwise be an extra dependency

and these browsers are specifically not that… these browsers are intended to do things like categorise tabs, complete forms, etc automatically without your interaction

of course they’ll ask before they do things they consider destructive, but what they consider destructive and what a malicious actor can use are very different things

some of that is certainly benign, but the point with prompt injection is that it can take benign things and make them plausibly malicious

imo anything firefox-based until servo or ladybird matures

i use waterfox, i know a lot of people use librewolf

remember that switching to anything chromium (like vivaldi, brave) still gives google power. on web standards at least, mozilla still fights for us (and is arguably the only one protecting us from shit like putting tracking stabdards directly into the web spec)

sometimes stores have sales that includes gift cards so you can get $500 of apple credit for 20% off

i closed reader view and scrolled just to see and wow the POPUPS and 50% of the page length being ads

WHAT

who uses the internet like this and finds it acceptable?!

buys you a little extra time to move to linux

meta and ctrl switched, because if there’s something apple did right it’s using the thumb as modifier key for copy/paste/etc instead of pinkie finger which is far FAR less able to deal with repeat strain

but i also type programmers dvorak because i got pretty horrible wrist pain at one point so anything to stop me damaging my wrists :p

voyager automatically opens links in reader mode for me and it works about 80% of the time

(but this article it doesn’t work for)

this entire thread is about the STG petition, and thus about the theoretical possibility of how laws could change

mandatory minimum warranties are also not relatively minimal effort and yet we have laws that require those… most consumer protection standards aren’t minimal effort: that doesn’t mean we don’t make laws to ensure consumers get what they are expecting when they hand over money

why shouldn’t handing over source code to a game that’s being shut down (and apparently that nobody finds any value in since it wasn’t even bought in bankruptcy auction) be mandated as a last resort?

literally what STG is about
