Not really, but another massive international project, ITER, is trying to do this. Its timeline is measured in decades if not the better part of a century.
So this is confusing. I did not know about the maps mode (thanks @randomperson@lemmy.today!). If you show the map and then press the “target” symbol to get your location, Kagi will prompt to enable geolocation.
When using a regular search for “chinese food near me” I see results for a city thousands of km away. But if I select Maps first, then it shows my local area and I can search on the map.
This makes a lot of sense if you’re delivering static content. Cloudflare even has the Super Slurper which serves your S3 content and migrates it seamlessly to Cloudflare’s competitor R2 service, after which your egress is free.
That’s disappointing news from Europe. However, the pictured VW and Tesla Model Y may technically be SUVs but they are nothing like the giant SUVs that we see in the US.
Is it a blunder? Tell that to Apple, Jetbrains, or Microsoft, each of whom have proprietary code editors that net billions of dollars of revenue.
It’s true, VS Code is open source, but it is developed almost entirely by Microsoft, by a large team of paid full-time programmers, designers, and PMs. It may be the most-used text editor in the world, but it isn’t developed by a team of volunteers who materialized around it because it was open source.
Instead, consider that making something open source is often just a marketing strategy — or a soft way to sunset a project.
This is a nice editor. I don’t like the comparisons to Atom since some of us remember that as “the really bloated and slow predecessor to VS Code”. Whereas Zed is quite small and fast. Opening a shell panel is instant and makes VS Code feel slow.
Its strength is multi-user (their term: multiplayer) shared editing spaces. It also has quite good AI integration and supports Github Copilot too.
I am a little concerned that they started off commercial and then went open source. Open source is great! But this path sometimes means that the original developers no longer have the time/money/interest to keep developing it. I hope that’s not the case here because they’ve got the start of something good.
Casey reviewed Google Glass too. He generally liked it but it wasn’t the same kind of experience he showed here.
Unlike some Apple enthusiasts, I really liked the Glass concept. The technology was there, but the experience was not.
In addition to being an Apple enthusiast I am also a tech nerd. To us, the tech seems like the hard part; the experience can be figured out later. What I’ve learned is that getting the experience right is actually much harder than getting the tech right.
It’s an old federated message board system. Message boards are called “newsgroups “. It predates the web so it’s usually accessed via a special client app. To use it you’d need:
A Usenet client app, called a newsreader. See Wikipedia. Many are probably abandoned by now.
An account with a Usenet provider. A search engine will point you to several options. There used to be some free ones. If there still are, it would be a good way to try it out. But note that the free ones often don’t carry all of the newsgroups — they omit the binary groups, which are known to carry pirated software and, let’s say, diverse video content.
Who would’ve thought? This isn’t going to fly with the EU.
Article 5.3 of the Digital Markets Act (DMA): “The gatekeeper shall not prevent business users from offering the same products or services to end users through third-party online intermediation services or through their own direct online sales channel at prices or conditions that are different from those offered through the online intermediation services of the gatekeeper.”
Apple has an annual legal budget of approximately infinity dollars. I assure you they are aware of this and they believe they are in compliance, even if just barely.
If challenged, they will have no problem fighting it — they have nearly as much cash on hand as the entire EU budget.
I hope the EU challenges this, and I hope the EU wins, but Apple isn’t going to be surprised by whatever happens.
“We're going to become the world's most decisive company across any industry,” he said. “We're going to get really good at taking appropriate technology risks, making those decisions quickly.”
This quote is business-speak — the opposite of what is needed.
Talk is cheap. Bezos created a giant soulless enterprise bureaucracy at Amazon. I don’t see how that experience translates to success in a fast-moving engineering-focused industry.
I guess I was stretching it. In my defense I have never seen the black-and-white ball in play at kids’ or professional matches. And there aren’t yellow taxis in my city. Yes — in the US.
It’s become a symbol that has meaning even if the physical object isn’t used or doesn’t exist any more.
This ⏳ is a symbol that means “time passing” even though the object is rare and obsolete. This ⚽️ is a rare type of soccer ball/football, but it’s the most recognized symbol for the game. This 🚕 isn’t what taxis look like in most places — and many people have never used a taxi; they take Uber.
