Does "token" now qualify as worthy of being called an "SI unit"? In the same vein as the "mole"?

Not just that, but on Windows, they're bypassing the actually guaranteed stable Win32 API in favor of linking directly to the lower-level components. Completely destroying any forward compatibility!

It's the kind of change that makes me read Zig as not trying to be a serious language. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but the way Zig positions itself is at odds with the completely bizarre takes they do.

There's a lot of languages in plane 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_(Unicode)#Supplementary_...

It's because JavaScript was created in 1995. At that time, everyone believed UCS-2 was "all you'd ever need". Well, Westerners believed it. It's why Han Unification existed; to try to perpetuate that lie. It's why Windows is UTF-16 at its core.

Why use that when a "simple" dictionary structure mapping codepoint to language exists? It's called Unicode.

It’s the goomba fallacy: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Goomba_fallacy

Yes they do, but they hide it. On the plans page,[0] if you click "see all plans", a true monthly subscription option appears. But the prices are unreasonably large to force you into the "annual, billed monthly" trick. For example, the full creative suite (Creative Cloud Pro) is $35 "a month" with the annual contract, or... $105 on a monthly contract!

Makes sense; the iOS filesystem isn't exposed to the user, but macOS' is.

It's impossible not to; We don't even have high resolution depth maps of the entire ocean.

Not necessarily. One can walk into a bank, slide a note and a bag, and (hopefully) walk out. No threats involved. Still a federal crime.

Paying taxes is a tad different than being a DoD contractor.

I used to. In the "golden days" of "there's an app for that", I would peruse the App Store looking for new games. I spend hundreds of dollars on games doing that. Now, the only games you see really are shovelware or subscription garbage.

Even German has issues with "letters surrounded by spaces". They love to smash words together to get one giant word.

If you're looking for rad hardened boards, you're not a "consumer" in the general sense of the word.

In vast parts of America, the "local PC shop" doesn't exist. It's BestBuy's GeekSquad (of dubious quality) or Apple's Genius Bar. There might be a repair shop somewhere, but most of the time, they just repair cracked screens.

And System76 charges you just as "absurdly" as Apple. But people don't complain about the price there like you see with Apple.

It's been like this since programming was "invented". Managers and business minds have, for decades, tried to remove the need for programmers. "If we provide a detailed enough spec, why do we need programmers?"

For example, COBOL's big shtick was that non-programmers could write code using a contrived English dialect, and things would work. Decades of no-code or low-code languages have come and gone. AI is just the hip new thing because it actually manages to produce results - just of dubious quality half the time.

Are you sure that wasn't the VPN's fault?

Chinese scammers have gotten good at abusing those "codes" by having a list of "known good" codes and printing them on multiple units. And because those holographic codes some companies used are printed in China, the scammers just use the same equipment during the night shift.

AMD does market segmentation and limits consumer chips to dual-channel. You need to cough up the dough and get Threadripper for quad-channel. Or even more for Threadripper Pro to get octa-channel.

Thankfully, this is changing. Win32's 'A' ANSI/ASCII APIs now support UTF-8 if your app declares such a wish. https://stackoverflow.com/a/69181417/1350209

But by then, the 4-byte limit of UTF-8 will itself have ossified. Even today, reverting back to the 6-byte limit is nigh impossible.

Why not just execute what I wrote? Maybe I'm doing some rounding?

Still, "the same camera" isn't "this person" without more information.

Case in point: fiber optics.

The screens are made by Samsung, but aren't designed by Samsung. Samsung's display and their phone division are completely separate.
