I don’t speak hebrew but someone online said that this is an unnecessarily literal translation of "double colon" and it’s not what most developers would call it. Take that with a grain of salt though.

I’m sure people will hate on this because it’s Adobe but their Premier Rush is great for extremely simple editing purposes. It does constantly feel like you’re being scammed though because there are some checkboxes labelled with a little star that require you to pay.

Yeah default users are fine, but the basic architecture of Linux (and, to my knowledge, all operating systems) means that there’s no meaningful way to create a user without creating a password, so you can’t have a default user without a default password.

I think you have a misunderstanding of what the change is and what the previous situation was.

Good, but frankly it’s pretty embarrassing for them that it took the threat of a multi-million pound fine before they made this change.

Right now it would be pretty noisy even on slow-moving games, but it’s a good start. I’ve never done graphics work professionally so take this with a grain of salt, but I’d wager that fast-moving games can probably actually get away with tricks like this even more than slow-moving ones because you can add motion blur on top of it and players will rarely have a chance to closely investigate the graphics, which allows you to take more shortcuts.

The sony cameras support a fair amount of external control, I’ve never written code for it directly but third-party apps have no issue other than the requirement that you connect to the camera as a wifi access point, which is a pain but understandable.

I had a sticker on my work laptop at my old company with the company logo edited to say "ecstasy" and no-one ever commented on it

Ah yes, the best way to bury a moral scandal of the kind that usually gets forgotten in a week is to undermine the trust of almost every single user worldwide. This is a very good conspiracy.

It’s not just "social media junkies", a very pretentious phrase to use considering you’re writing it in a comment on a social network. Hundreds of thousands of apps use Facebook APIs, often in the background too (including FB's own apps).

This outage also affected whatsapp, one of the most widely-used communication technologies in the world. It also almost caused me to be locked out of my apartment, were it not for random chance and the kindness of a stranger, but I’m glad that you can feel smugly superior about it

Can we please stop posting Foone to HN? They’ve stated multiple times that they don’t want to be posted here and every time they end up posted they complain and ask for it to be taken down.

This is the fundamental observation that the Zig language is built on, and it proves to be an extremely powerful way of understanding your system when taken to its logical extreme.

Because it’s an effect system, it’s not returning monads. It’s a different kind of type system with different restrictions and benefits. You could make every function implicitly pure, but that would be syntactic sugar, as opposed to Haskell where pure-as-default is a consequence of how the type system is structured.

I thought the nominal point of crypto was to get out from under the oppressive bootheel of the banks
