I don't have any reason to believe that similar projects won't work for the new version.

The Zoidberg Shuffle?

Battery life in sleep (and in general) could be better, but on the whole I've been quite happy with it.

Laptops aren't generally being used in the same areas as cars though, so you wouldn't expect to see as many cases involving Windows Hello compatible laptops/cameras.

The fact that Android complains and tells any app that asks whether the owner actually, you know, owns the device they paid for is an implementation detail.

A Linux distribution that adopts an Android style security model could easily still provide the owner root access while locking down less trusted apps in such a way that the apps can't know or care whether the device is rooted.

When someone watches a movie, or engages with any other art form, are they "transformed"?

Games are certainly a unique art form, but I reject the idea that they are somehow unable to produce a "shared cultural vocabulary", or that the experience of playing a game can't be discussed to just as rich a level as, say, the experience of watching a movie, or listening to a piece of music. Ultimately, to fully engage in a dialogue about a work of art, you need to experience that work in its intended form, this should be obviously true of music, movies, painting, and games. But to set games apart as somehow less able to be fully discussed is nonsense.

The Deck can pretty consistently turn the TV on from standby(/picture mode) and grab the input, but if the TV is completely off (black screen) CEC doesn't work anymore.

I'm not extremely familiar with any of the ML family, but Eric Lippert had a blog series I followed for a while in which he was writing a Z-Machine in OCaml: https://ericlippert.com/2016/02/01/west-of-house/ I followed along but in Rust for a while, though I think he paused the project at some point and I lost steam.

I learned more about Rust (which, IIRC was first implemented in OCaml) than I did about OCaml, but it's always seemed like a nice language.

The good/old subtitles in the ASS format required a more complex playback system than what Netflix/Hulu (and maybe blueray players) currently offer. This could be worked around by burning the subs into the video stream, but then you need to keep separate copies of your (large) video files for each subtitled language.

That doesn't seem like it'd be such a huge problem to me, but what do I know?

The post does a good job explaining the effective monopoly system at play that prevents real competition to provide any pressure to improve or maintain the prior quality.

Every so often this still means that devs working on a feature will need to rebase back on the latest version of the shared branch, but if your code is reasonably modular and your project management doesn't have people overlapping too much this shouldn't be terribly painful.

Like rg, it's one of those "rewrite it in rust" projects that turned out to actually be quite well thought through.

Unless you know of another time the bots were deployed formally against a pro team more recently, which I'd love to hear about.

I do agree that the game was terribly dumbed down to make it tractable. I keep hoping they'll revisit Dota 2 to see if they can find meaningful improvements and tackle the full game.

There's a lisp variant involved, and IIRC even a parser that reads the card text to auto-generate the rules code for most of the cards.
