Every company from here to end of the universe in competition of who can have the most intrusive surveillance shoved down uses throats.
It use to be enough to just wipe newly bought laptop to remove manufacturers spyware, but now it comes with OS itself and packaged into big browsers.
I don’t see anything super impressive that could be attributed to CoD developers. I think most of this really advances in hardware that allows more lighting, higher quality textures and more polygons.
But even with all of that, this isn’t looking incredibly realistic. There are games and engines that done it little more convincing
Depends on environment. At work we have official corp communication platform - Teams. Most UI build for browsers and require a lot of complex JavaScript for render.
But most of my work is still done in terminal. Most project I managed ended up with very nice CLI applications, makes things a lot easier in the end, like automations for example. Initially specially younger engineers struggled with decision to build cli instead of web portals. But later realized how effective and productive the decision was..
100% agree with your opinion, the business model didn’t make any sense. Also as platform it wasn’t that grate either: lags, graphics quality and many more issues (not it’s not my internet). I’m glad they tried but suits failed the project.
That issue isn’t only with Airbnb. Many other tech companies have poor customer service and more than willing to just ban you rather than deal with issues.
Had incident with Uber. Driver came 30 mins late, she accepted ride, forgot to turn off her location and went to coffee shop.
When she arrived, I didn’t say anything. She was rude entire ride complaining about other customers, traffic. I remained quiet.
She quickly found out, pretty easy to hear from my accent, that I’m an immigrant. She started to complain about immigrants, immigration system and other nonsense like they took our jobs and how the one, back than candidate, would fix it all.
I left her one star review and very small tip.
Next day I got message that my account suspended. It took me entire day but eventually I found out that she wrote complaint to company that my wife and I physically assaulted her during ride. And based on her word alone it was enough to permanently ban me
DRM is insane concept. I haven’t yet seen one that would actually “work” but like other commentator said main goal is to be obstruction enough to prove that you circumvented copyright policy in first place and to add to that it makes big bosses feel safer.
As far as I’m concerned if you have something that is sooo protected don’t upload it to public web; to access anything you have to, first, download its contents, second - eventually decrypt/decode.
Nah just need overhaul and better control, start with taking legal actions against patent trolls on federal level. People will always look for ways to make money with very little effort
That seems like dangerous and very anti-consumer practice. I honestly don’t like smart TVs in general, I haven’t seen one where you won’t end up buying a tv setup box, like Apple TV or Amazon firestick anyway.
It’s all depends on developer. I have talent to write really bad code in any language and make code as slow as I want. I can write code in ruby that would outperform code in C. The benchmarks like this don’t give you full picture of language possibilities. On top of everything we also need account for compilers and compiler optimization.
Nothing against rust. I write ton of code using rust, and advocating at my work. But this looks like a PR move to me.
Is it just me or NestedText is kinda subset of YAML? I personally see very little advantage of using this over json or yaml, but having more flavors and variation is always a good thing.
Edit: forgot to mention. I personally don’t like most general data serialization formats for configuration, the one I can probably tolerate is XML, but even that I only use when it’s part of requirement.
The way I usually implement program behavior configuration is through runcommands(runcom, .rc)
