It's primarily an online payment system, not a money transfer system. It has worked since forever (20+ years, it's a rebranded Dutch system) from web browser. Still does.

Twitter had a lot of side projects and people that were not needed to run their core business. E.g. they used to have a Linux kernel engineering team [1]. They argued their value, …

That was not actually the ad, that was "You wouldn't steal a car. [...] Downloading Pirated Movies is stealing. [...] Piracy it's a crime." Easily misremembered and meme-able.

That's not what the person I replied to asked at all, arbitrary types weren't mentioned. They literally asked why they couldn't write JsonObject.of(Map.of(...))

Java lacks the expressiveness to make it much better than this. There's a reason almost all the "replacement Java" languages add something to support DSLs, e.g. type safe builders …

It's pretty normal, almost all libs work this way. This way you can parse the JSON string into the matching data structure or print it into a string, and when building you can ensu…

~no one == approximately no one

Nah, there is little demand for it that's the reason. LLMs don't need a LSP, they work better without it often. Most Java devs use IntelliJ or another IDE with its inbuilt thing. F…

They are minor in the west which is what I replied to

There are minor Android players who seem to be standing their ground, so something has to be different here. Nothing, Xiaomi/Redmi, Motorola

The "advantage" is that in contrast to heavy metals like lead lithium is a lot less toxic as far as we know. Not 0, but not in the same league.

There's a lot of nuance to that statement. Most languages, including e.g. Java or Typescript, would not be strongly typed according to your definition, because their type system is…

It's non-trivial to implement XML parser in a secure way, many stdlib ones are insecure by default. That should just not be a thing. XML has a bunch of vulnerabilities very specifi…

You pay either just with money (Youtube premium) or by watching ads...

Steam has DRM,so no. Easily cracked yes, but then you can just go the full pirate route.

That's not selling , that's renting

Microsoft just tried a generation too early. They could have gotten away with it this gen, and assuming 2028 will be start of next gen it looks like next gen it will go over withou…

I'm so happy most modern language stdlibs decided having a guaranteed order for maps and other collections is a good idea. Although I can definitely respect Go's decision to always…

Their managed solution is pricey and especially the linear scaling with how much you use it is very meh. It's comparable with AWS lambda which also isn't cheap. However it's minor …

Not retail ISPs, but many extensions and free VPNs route VPN traffic through the connections of those who use them.

In good faith I cannot see an argument here, it's either Region X was first and reduced their emissions 10-20% so it's fine and it's region Y that's the problem, or Region X is fin…

I wonder if a proportionally large amount of RLHF was done by Indians which causes this behavior.

Many nations/languages did not respect that rename until Turkey became an ally in the 20th century.

More than a decade ago

Or they didn't want to commit to the extra shows until demand was clear
