Doesn't work on prepaid plans.... Anyone know how to access this and turn it off for these users?

Almost 50 self-citations... Is this normal?

This would be better if there was VS Code integration with their notebook system.

Personally, I will never code in a web browser and don't understand how people can do so with large code bases.

Is it bad that I hope they do kill Epic's account?

Epic launches a preconceived plan with media attacks and the most ridiculous 1984 reference that actually doesn't make sense in the current context against Apple. If I'm Apple, even if this is a straight up attack on me, I just follow the rules in my TOS and block them like I do others who don't follow the TOS. If you don't like the TOS, fine you don't have to be on my platform and have access to my users. It's as simple as that. The fact that so many are rebelling against this, is actually good for consumers in the long run, they may flock to other platforms albeit there's now only two viable platforms, Apple and Android. Windows got bit by the dust, but I do wish they were still around to create a healthy three ecosystem battle.

Epic's a billion dollar company with huge resources fighting another billion dollar company. It's kind of hilarious watching this pan out, with Epic pretending to be some small indie corporation fighting a huge conglomerate.

No comment on the article, but the website is a beautiful example of a text first design.

Huh, their explanation makes no sense. Do they review every single Spotify song or Netflix movie and show? I don't see how this is any different.

Sadly, this is very true. Yeah Julia is fast, but not as fast as python and matlab in the REPL and quick analysis work. I can get going with data analysis and plotting far faster for exploratory work due to the zero precompilation overhead in those languages, where as in Julia this overhead is brutal. Julia people will probably down-vote this, but sadly, as an interactive language this is it's Achilles heel. I have to explain to people why the code is taking so long to show up due to JIT et al., and non-experts don't understand that this is just an initial overhead.

They should really list all the contributors that added to the release instead of highlighting the few people that added some of the listed features.

It's actually nothing like sketchup, it's a full fledged parametric modeler, which sketchup never was.

The thing is, with Fusion 360, they created a product so good no one can match them at this point. It's pretty remarkable how fun and easy it is to use compared to Pro/E and Solidworks. With regards to Revit, I've never used this software, but I wonder if it's a similar situation.

Yes that's the only way to do it, but then you kinda cirumvent the whole tailwind philosophy. The tailwind typography package is an attempt to fix this, but right now it's annoying to use.

Yes I tried it out, except it's extremely alpha at this stage. It's not at all easy to customize.

Played around tailwind css this weekend, pretty good and enjoyable. There's some quirks that make it slightly annoying to use with a static site generator that takes in markdown files and converts them to html. In this case it becomes annoying to style these files via something like tailwind.

For simpler projects there's tachyons as well, which shares a similar philosophy and is a bit simpler in scope.

TLDR? Why does this matter?

"As a reminder, Intel CET is a hardware-based mitigation that addresses the two types of control-flow integrity violations commonly used by exploits: forward-edge violations (indirect CALL and JMP instructions) and backward-edge violations (RET instructions). "

Why are these important

Honestly I found Zulip way too confusing. Am I the only one?
