It must be because eventually they're planning for them to be augmented reality glasses -- being both the input and output device is such a natural extension of this, they must have thought of it.

Where do companies otherwise prioritize long-run development over short-term output? In my experience, generally nowhere. So why would this make managers push RTO more?

Some who already want RTO may use this as an excuse, but I would think it would actually reduce RTO pressure overall, as it confirms less short-term productivity, which is what companies actually care about.

In some areas and for some people, Medicaid probably does count as proper healthcare. But it certainly doesn't for other people / other places. Imagine there being one doctor within a multi-million person metro area who takes Medicaid for some sub-specialty. 90 minutes away from you by car. And you don't have a car. This is the reality for millions of Medicaid recipients, including ones I know personally in Chicago.

This has the legit feel of Lode Runner Returns.

If I were making a single line code change, then Claude's "style" would take me enough time to edit away that it would make it slower than writing the change myself. I'm positing this is true also for the parent commenter.

This is interesting, and I'd say you're not the target audience. If you want the code Claude writes to be line-by-line what you think is most appropriate as a human, you're not going to get it.

You have to be willing to accept "close-ish and good enough" to what you'd write yourself. I would say that most of the time I spend with Claude is to get from its initial try to "close-ish and good enough". If I was working on tiny changes of just a few lines, it would definitely be faster just to write them myself. It's the hundreds of lines of boilerplate, logging, error handling, etc. that makes the trade-off close to worth it.

This has been true since it stopped being true for Internet Explorer. I've not noticed any significant change over time. I have been using Firefox for over 20 years.

I believe it's that the bus can only serve one chip at a time, so it has to actually be faster since sometimes one chip's data will have to wait for the data of another chip to finish first.

Corrupt Qeynos Guards -- Qeynos is SonyEQ spelled backwards. And, depending on your race / class, it didn't even take that much to make them hate you.

Killing the corrupt guards, often one at a guard tower in the Plains of Karanas west of town, and turning in their bracelets to a non-corrupt guard at the bridge to South Karanas, was great XP for quite a few levels in the midgame. And it is possible to repair the corrupt guard XP (slowly) with low-level quests.

This matches my memory. When I got my dad's old work computer with QuickBASIC on it, and I discovered the compiler, and could write programs other people could "just run", I felt like a real programmer for the first time.

Surprised not to see this mentioned in the article.

Lots of places (including a former employer) have done tons of work to upgrade internal infrastructure to support HTTP/2 just so they could use gRPC. The performance difference from JSON-over-HTTP APIs was meaningful for us.

I realize there are other solutions but this is a common one.

The reason this is an issue is that the sub value changes often enough that intergrations ignore it rather than bother users with having to re-OAuth.

As far as what Google is doing in the bug bounty, that's a good question -- we don't know. The author is proposing two new values, for the domain and user, that wouldn't change in the cases that sub changes now, but would change in this case.
