I can’t imagine their software and bookkeeping would be significantly different from any other international logistics company?

Pre-commit hooks can’t be installed automatically and most people won’t even know they exist.

pre-commit also has a free service for open source GitHub repos too. They’ll even push an autofix commit for you if your tools are configured for it

We’ve been here for a few years, but we’re grateful to have new people!

You know what’s really inefficient? Making a bunch of people write additional weekly reports on their work on top of the already significant documentation that goes on in the federal government. It’s not free or instant to write these, and could reasonably lower the amount of actual productivity by diverting smart people from their main objectives to write extra reports for this dumbass.

That’s about one egg per second

Remove the need to, yes. Remove the ability to? No, and rust doesn’t prevent you from doing that, it just makes you mark it unsafe so that way if you fuck up and cause a memory error, the root cause can be narrowed down to a tiny fragment of the code base.

Unsafe rust has proven that it can be an effective alternative here, ideal especially when the consumers are also rust.

If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it.

That’s the thing, it is broken and there is a fix desperately needed. C lacks memory safety, which is responsible for many, many security vulnerabilities. And they’re entirely avoidable.

What exactly are the hazards of shared memory and locks? The ownership system and the borrow checker do a pretty good job at enforcing correct usage, and if you are clever you can even guarantee no deadlocks (talk at rustconf 2024 about the fuchsia network stack).

Almost certainly not

It’s wild how much stuff is manufactured on processes considered obsolete for high end cpu/gpu production

iOS accidentally has this feature if you use apple health to track medications. Whenever the time zone changes, it’ll send the user a notification to ask the user if they want to adjust the schedule for the different time zone or maintain the existing times

I mean, just looking at a store like Best Buy, the snapdragon laptops look really good for their price. If you’re not gaming, they do office and school tasks just as well. And for a lot of people, the thin fanless one that doesn’t get hot and has 30 hours of battery life is really what they want in a device. And they’re used as chromebooks in a lot of cases, where compatibility isn’t really a concern.

Yes, thousands of often highly specialized, experienced mercenaries.

The internet was developed by ARPA, then later made available to universities and eventually private connections. Military and public research developed the tech, capitalists figured out how to most efficiently sell junk using the tech.

Actually I think this is a pretty common thing. I know several people who use iPhones and other Apple products specifically to avoid the google alternatives.

I use the assistant, because it has so many models to choose from. I hope they can make a mobile app for it in the future

Organizations aren’t just paying for access to applications, they’re also paying for cloud storage, email hosting, calendar tools, training, and all of the infrastructure to support that. Typically when you price out the cost of expanding the in-house IT department and the cost of acquiring and maintaining the infrastructure required to replicate the various cloud services, it ends up being break even at best. Qualified people who can set up and maintain infrastructure are quite expensive, especially when having to maintain high uptime/availability, 24/7 incident response, and compliance with various regulations, like those to protect students’ privacy.

You can say the same thing about any US AI company. Of course the local terrorists want in
