back then IT was not the workhorse of 95% of modern life, and only a handful of physicists needed computers for very niche usecases that needed next to nothing in resources
question, you mention "no more AST parsing" as a selling line for semgrep. Isn't this actually a bad thing for a staric analyzer, as ASTs are actually... abstract, and closer to the real logic of what the code does? I know analyzing text is faster but is it worth?
how is this different than blackhats contributing to general awareness of web security practices? Opensource considered secure just because its up on github is no different than plaintext HTTP GET params being secure just because "who the hell will read your params in the browser", which would be still the status quo if some hackers hadn't done the "lowest of the low " and show the world this lesson.
The clickbait article makes people believe "you can create 3d models of ANY 2d object" but in reality, this would only come down to cars, cats and human faces. We have only so much datasets that are suitable for a GAN.
I do use and like both fastapi and pydantic but this situiation is something they brought to themselves by adopting experimenral features into their mainline code and sell it as production ready. Python designers are not responsible for time-to-market decisions of other projects. It comes with the "no liability" part of opensource.
and what is the problem with that?
"Single guy made a good looking and so far working product in only 59 commits since september" is a different way to present the same facts.
"Still people want to create more distributions instead of actually implementing missing features in the existing distributions"
If people would document their stuff and would bother to give the slightest hint what should be done next for a newcommer to their project, people wouldn't have to restart everything from scratch.
"I want a truly libre, open phone! ... MY truly open libre phone that i own and brand and get rich on!"
users can already get this behaviour by setting 2 values in about:config why is this presented as new feature? mozilla laid off devs to start making marketing stunts?
it seems like every time one company of the technofeudalist leaders got itself into a scandal, fanboys tend to forget the previous ones. When did apple become the "lifestyle brand", the good guys? Not so long ago HN was full of the storm how apps stopped working when tracking servers went down. Apple shares the very same interests around your personal data, it's just that facebook is a reseller and apple is an enduser of your privacy.
have you used fiat investment apps lately? if you dont want monolithic hedge funds close trading and sell your assets without your concent and then wipe any negative speech of the fact from the app store, stick to cryptocurrencies
sorry OP but this just means that since '97, UX evolved faster than a human can follow (as usual in tech) and you are just out of touch with current trends. UX is still of the same, if not better importance as a decade ago (remember that uber is just taxi with better ux, airbnb is just accomodation with better ux, and revolut is just banking with better ux)
this won't be a question of what the user wants to do with these parts. I bet it won't even be accessible for common programmers. Applications will simply constantly racing between each other and reprogram the field programmable part of my cpu every startup
