The "satisfies" keyword may be what you are missing. Most of the cases I used to need "as" (usually weirdly permissive types from some lib) can be nudged in line with a "satisfies"

> Video games tend to use UDP for the same reason everyone else mentioned does: timeliness. You want the most recent position of the various game objects now, and you don't give a shit about where they were 100ms ago.

This is only true for games that can replicate their entire state in each packet.

There are many situations where this is infeasible and so you may be replicating diffs of the state, partial state, or even replicating the player inputs instead of any state at all.

In those cases the "latest" packet is not necessarily enough, the "timliness" property does not quite cover the requirements, and like with most things, it's a "it depends".

Tell us more... Is this for previews of the artist assigned you? Or something else?

Is there a relationship with the "Build" component of Knative here? ... It seems they were working on a very similar abstraction of CI/CD... This seems like a more general abstraction of the same problem

I'm really happy Google are giving a go at making ChromeOS into something more than browser on steroids. I really believe this is a path to a decent Linux Desktop future.

I'm def considering getting a pixelbook for my main machine this year now.

Probably as the first steps towards removing cash. Cash must be such a pain for a government, I'm surprised it is still around.

You do, and xiwi (X11 in a window) is almost magic in letting me spawn a proper terminal emulator integrated with ChromeOS's window manager (Aura?).

...but it feels like a bit of a hack. I have to have the laptop in dev mode and there's a slight fear that an automatic update might prevent the chroot from working, or that my stateful downloads directory might disappear.

My thought was that ChromeOS is kinda where OS X 10.0 was... a great UI on top of a great base that just works. That's what drove many of us to Apple when we got bored of re-configuring linux, it's what made many of us recommend Apple to friends/family.... Apple have dropped the ball, Google is in a pretty good place to pick it up.

As surprised as I am to say this; I think Google could steal a large chunk of the developer market overnight with some slight changes to Chrome OS.

I needed an emergency machine last week (My 2011 Pro finally died), and I opt'd for a £200 Chromebook (EDGAR), thinking all I need is a browser and a terminal right this second and I'd worry about what Apple is doing later.

A solid Linux laptop with working sleep, working wifi, great battery life. Tad underpowered but hey it's £200. I'm _really_ impressed.

If Google relaxed the constraints a little on the OS, or supported a Crouton-like workflow for containers without having to stick it in dev-mode, they could make A LOT of developers very happy.

Maybe just a new colour.

I like how the Signal app (at least on Android) also works for insecure SMS to give me one place for messaging... well apart from everyone who uses WhatsApp at least.

What I'd love is if they could also make it an email client too. Letting me send/receive insecure emails or (if the recipient has Signal) encrypted email using the same key management. I'd much prefur to give out an email address (totally in my control) than a phone number (could be taken away from me at any moment).

One digital communication app please.

> His prediction was that everyone would dress in uniforms. But that’s the complete opposite of what has happened. And I don’t think people will be dressing in uniforms anytime soon.

OK, here's a potential prediction that could bring about "uniforms"...

If we end up with some kind of ubiquitous augmented reality, we may end up styling ourselves like you would a game avatar, and even "themeing" everyone around us. In that world, it might make more sense to just all wear comfy grey onezies all day.

Of course all predictions like this are hilariously off... it'll probably be more like the entire earth bizarrely becomes a comfortable 23C and everyone just walks around in socks.

Pretty sure Dart has it's own VM. It just also happens to compile to Javascript.

> don't go to sites that have them

That's not really a viable solution. You cannot know the site you are about to visit has ads on it or not.
