<p>Apple has perfected their virtue signaling game and all the simps love it.<p>I don't really mind it either anymore, a lot of people have this hero worship fetish and they can't help painting everything in black and white, even though they're all just different shades of gray.<p>Apple is definitively  brighter on that scale then Google or Meta, but they're all corrupt multinational corporations that will do everything they can get away with to increase their bottom line.</p>

<p>I tried that a few times, but by the time I've explained enough for the code to be close to what I want i could've just implemented it myself twice over... And that's ignoring the fact that it's always generating subtly wrong or just poorly performing code.<p>It might change eventually as ide integrations improve, but for now it's a novelty for me.</p>

<p>If that was true, then why are there movies/series created solely for streaming providers?<p>It can't be there sole reason, and I sincerely doubt it's even true. Sure, the price of a single DVD would've covered the price of 1-2 months of streaming on Netflix, but people didn't buy a DVD each month. And if they did, they lent it to friends after.</p>

<p>lets say you have<p><pre><code>    <body>
    <div><!-- you want this one -->
      ok
      <div id="the-child"></div>
    </div>
     <div><!-- you dont want this one -->
      nok
      <div id="the-wrong-child"></div>
    </div>
    </body>
</code></pre>
css:<p><pre><code>    div:has( > #the-child)
</code></pre>
xpath:<p><pre><code>    //div[@id="the-child"]/..
</code></pre>
isnt that kinda the same? I think I'd even consider the css version to be easier to understand at a glance.<p>If you've got full control over the Dom it'd be much better to just set an id attribute on the element in question though, as getElementById is still the best performing option</p>

<p>It's always surprising to me when I hear people using the brave browser... It's by a company that initially tried to replace their blocked ads with their own "safe and non-intrusive" ads as far as I remember, until they backpaddled because of the outrage.<p>It's also a for-profit company and you're not the customer, as you're not paying them money.<p>I'd be way more worried how they're using the data they're collecting on you vs Google or MS</p>

<p>I'm not saying that it would be better for authors without copyright. That would indeed be hard to ascertain without a/b testing.<p>My point was that it doesn't improve their lives, and that's much easier to check in isolation just by reading the news about the current writers strike and how the industry just ignores it until fall, expecting their savings to run out.<p>Really, copyright just doesn't give the content creators any meaningful power as this right is generally owned by the industry/publisher, not the authors.</p>

<p>You state this as a fact, but it's actually much less certain wherever it's ever been net-positive.<p>It was probably intended that way, but the reality is that the power has been with the publisher since the beginning, and they've absolutly been screwing over the author's as well. Only the most successful author's have gotten decent deals.<p>I don't have an answer to this either though, i just wanted to point out that copyright has arguably never been successful at getting money to the content creators proportional to the value the Publisher extracted from the work either.</p>

<p>Their comment was the one that this thread is bases on. They're merely pointing out that the original comment already gave an example why its a mess.<p>I disagree with their point though, in java the lib would've probably just converted the exception to a runtime exception so the API doesn't change...</p>

<p>Leadership matters, Apples history is a prime example of this as shown by first faltering without Steve Jobs and then becoming the most profitable company after he rejoined.<p>Nonetheless, you're still attributing way too much to the ability of the leadership. After all, that story is so remarkable precisely because it's pretty much the only well known example of this.</p>

<p>They're both kinda dumb though. Updating will create a new layer, but the old binaries will still be a part of the image as part of the history.<p>The only correct way is to either rebuild the base image from scratch or just fetch a new base image.
My suggestion would be the latter, just run docker pull again for the baseimage and use that, without running update.</p>

<p>Pretty much all videos I've seen of the current riots (mostly filmed via phones from bystanders) in France show a very different picture then racism.<p>Even that unfortunate incident when they killed the teen was very much reactionary, as people have been throwing Molotov cocktails etc at them for weeks now.<p>Honestly, i do understand the perspective of the rioters. Not having a chance to improve your life would make me violent too, i think... But framing the police as racists acting out is misguided considering that most of the issues are social in nature and not caused by the police.<p>And this might be too nitpicky for such an emotional topic, but the term racism gets thrown around way too much. I think it's more akin to classism, as it seems like you're still gonna get discriminated against if you originate from the poor areas, no matter what the color of your skin is.</p>

<p>From previous discussions it's my understanding the c integration is going to be the cause for the issues.<p>From a python perspective it wouldn't necessarily be a big change, but everything can branch out to c, and there you're going to get in trouble with shared memory.</p>

<p>At that point you'd need a machine learning DSL and runtime. Currently, it's all python libraries, so you can do everything python can... Which is everything, essentially.<p>It's highly unlikely that the market for running these models like an appliance securely in an untrusted context will ever manifest. It's just too much of a niche, as it would also reduce their extensibility/usability significantly</p>
