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.

This is true of everything. News is political. Choose your bias and shut up. You're the person who brought politics into this.

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 rea…

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 proximi…

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 f…

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 pro…

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.
