These men are more than powerful enough to go against Trump

I wouldn’t say that, remember a CEO is just a position. If any of them goes against Trump, they can easily be replaced. Except maybe Zuck.

“I want to thank you for setting the tone such that we could make a major investment in the United States,” said Cook, referring to Apple’s pledge to put $600 billion into US manufacturing. Given that Apple made that commitment under threat of crippling tariffs on smartphones

Also interesting to see that this has created a political divide:

Former White House strategist Steve Bannon had a conniption over the dinner earlier in the day. He dedicated a significant portion of his speech Thursday at the far-right National Conservatism Conference to attacking Big Tech “oligarchs,” and during an episode of his podcast he claimed the person who arranged the dinner should be “perp-walked” out of the White House. article

I think none of these people are happy to be shown in public as weak and submissive, but they must have been told to play the game.

That was an interesting read.

Maybe you mean the opposite to wine? The 1st WSL (called V1) was a sort of simulation of the Linux terminal, but wasn’t too compatible. The current version (V2) is a full virtual machine that kind of shares the network and file system automatically, so it can run basically any Linux command line tool.

Encyclopedia Brittanica wasn’t designed to be addicting and offer misinformation for one.

Also has an interface that clicks easier with people used to Windows.

The problem with Sublime is that it’s a paid one, and not everybody wants to pay for something that is perceived by the community as something that should be free and open source.

This is the right answer. To complement it, I’d just say I’ve read someone before say that at Microsoft there’s no incentive to squeeze performance, so why bother if it won’t help you get promoted or get a bonus? All these things add up over time to make Windows only care about it when there is actually a huge bottleneck.

It’s also worth noting (for non programmers out there) that speed has no correlation with the amount of code. Often it’s actually the opposite: things start simple and begin to grow in complexity and amount of code exactly to squeeze more optimizations for specific use-cases.

dependency injection is an abomination

I don’t think so, dependency injection has made testing easier in all static typed code bases I worked on.

As a non game dev, does Flutter really offer anything compared to traditional 2D game engines? I thought most of them are also open source?

The whole article seems a bit forced with many topics that are present in most other languages too. I don’t think “Faster release cycle” is one reason Java got where it is today.

Android dev will be overwhelming for a beginner. If you’re still learning, I’d suggest starting with some command line stuff just to get the hang of the standard library, concepts etc.

You can use any IDE for simple stuff but Android Studio is tailored for Android framework complexities that added up over time.

The biggest problem is that now it will be mass generated with little effort. Time to abandon Google if most of the web becomes ChatGPT generated articles. Better to talk to ChatGPT directly.
