Chrome did this, and there was a huge outcry. Even though local AI is much better for privacy.

I'm very thrown by the "hidden Buy box" argument. I thought Amazon did that on purpose to hide overpriced items from the wild west that is Amazon's marketplace/sellers. So a t-shirt for $100 gets no Buy box because it's overpriced.

The video argues that this creates a monopoly.

What kind of features?

Microsoft Edge has had this for some time. I was surprised, but Edge is pretty modern.

Isn't higher frames per second good? You wouldn't want a video game to intentionally limit itself to 24 fps. Isn't motion smoothing more realistic?

Does anyone have a suggestion for PDF redacting? It's the only thing I need Acrobat for. And when I need it, it's very important.

Too bad Discord can't be searched. There's lots of information trapped on Discord.

I gave up on it during season one. Is it really worth continuing it? It started to not hold my interest.

This is also useful for having a type that needs to be verified in some way before being used or trusted. UnverifiedLoginCookie vs. VerifiedLoginCookie

This optimization option isn't on by default? That sounds like a lot of missed optimization. Most programs aren't going to be loading from shared libraries.

Maybe I can set this option at work. Though it's scary because I'd have to be certain.

I don't think this article is very well-written. It gets confused about whether QUIC has a handshake or not (it does). And it conflates zero round-trip time with combining the TCP/TLS handshakes together.

I've struggled to find a Software Engineer job for many months, even with FAANG on my resume. It's nowhere as easy as it was when I graduated college 7 years ago.

I send out my resume and barely get any answers. I don't even get a chance to interview.

That being said, I had a good luck streak in December! I'm waiting to hear back from several companies right now.

If I start now and start reading up on AI, will I become anything close to an expert?

I'm worried that I'm starting a journey that requires a Master's or PhD.
