This seems like a plainly bad idea, though that doesn’t lessen the chances of it becoming law. In practice, it’s silly — building 3D printers side steps it, yes? Can I print nothing when the registry of banned prints is down, as it will very often be as government run software that doesn’t generate revenue. Oh, of course there will be a printing tax to cover the costs passed later. A comic tragedy.
Interesting. It seems to me that client side prediction and lag compensation (aka the basics for games in similar situations) would have been a viable alternative.
While I can see that working well for echoing keystrokes in a terminal, I'm not sure how it would work when you actually enter commands into the terminal. Same for opening files in the IDE.
This is why most IDEs nowadays ask you something about "trusting files" when opening a project. They tend to lick and run on everything in there (at least for dynamic-ish languages, and maybe not "run" intentionally but do stuff which is arbitrary code execution more or less by definition) to analyze the code.
How so? Perhaps I don’t understand the context. Undoing text display is trivial, undoing code changes is already there, what’s missing? We’re not talking eons, less than a second.
All the comments, all the time. This was a fun (funky?) little project that I enjoyed building and am enjoying on my desk as well. Source for the display and backend are both on github if you're so inclined:
This is an interesting left hand vs right hand thing. Apple is making it more difficult for find a particular app while coding assistance is making it easier to build one. At some point those curves intersect and the App Store becomes irrelevant.
That’s not uncommon, but having grown up in a house heated by wood fires I knew that when building our current house. The main fireplace is on a central wall and has enormous thermal mass. Beauty and utility can be combined.
My grandparents' house was this way - the chimney was in the center of the house (built sometime in the late 1800s and rebuilt in the 1950s).
The fireplace had a stone chimney - and the kitchen was built in an 'L' shape around the first floor of the fireplace. The (master) bedroom (an additional bedroom was built in the 1950s), the stone of the chimney was a good quarter of one of the walls.
I do, however, think that the rough hewn stone and mortar of the chimney with the insets around it had a certain rustic beauty... aside from the "that got warm" in the winter and could keep the kitchen, living room, and bedroom warm.
A while back I worked on a project where s3 held giant zip files containing zip files (turtles all the way down) and also made good use of range requests. I came up with seekable-s3-stream[1] to generalize working with them via an idiomatic C# stream.
This lack of ASIC is interesting to me. If it existed, that would very much change the game. And, given the simplicity of WG encryption it would be a comparatively small design (lower cost?)
Let’s game that out. What happens during the transition? Oh, inconveniently ugly things that Musk won’t say out loud. Oh, and the timeline makes that transition interminably long.
There are 11 kinds of people that understand binary. Those that understand binary, those that don't understand binary, and those that understand grey code.
While I’m working I glance at it from time to time and get a sense of the wide breadth of conversations going on at any moment.
