How else do you compare “web frameworks” except foe comparing their overhead?

No everyone wants to write a database application. There are absolutely other types of applications in the world. Applications can be CPU and/or memory bound.

I have not seen any evidence that would lead to a conclusion one way or another.

How would they detect it? If the interface with Apple is simply an API to fetch and upload data. How would they know if the underlying physical machine is an Apple built computer running Linux, or a dell built computer running Linux?

It allows automated builds of an Xcode project on a CI machine, VPS, or docker instance.

I’m curious, would Apple know if you are building on Linux on a Mac, or building on Linux on PC?

This is already relatively large for this type of display. There is no market for these types of screens at a larger size. (They are mostly used in products that are not connected to a computer such as a controller panel for a factory, or mechanical device.)

Parts for something like this? $1 ESP32, $5 LCD, $2 lithium battery, $5 3D printed case. Assembly? (Depending on quantity) maybe $5. This is max $20 to build.

I guess if you want something like this but don’t have time to build it it could be worth $100

Cloudflare is a US company right? One assumes it’s controlled (if not directly, then indirectly) by US intelligence interests. That would protect it from non US intelligence influence would it not?

Yes, in rust, the package manager has built in rules about when to update a package. It won’t auto update a major version change because it implies a change that breaks something. As long as your package is safe to auto update you don’t want to change the major version number.

It’s a rust crate that depended on c and is now literally “rewritten in rust”

It’s a rust crate designed to be a native rust replacement for a rust c wrapper crate. It’s faster and easier to link to in rust projects.

How would you even tell people you made a better rust crate without using the word “rust?”

One of the reasons I quit rust is literally because having 4-5 projects checked out that use serde would fill my laptop drive with junk in a few weeks.

I remember coding games for the C64 with an 8 sprite limit, and having to swap sprites in and out for the top and bottom half of the screen to get more than 8.

You could save five minutes by typing faster _and_ also spend five minutes thinking.

You are not considering all of the indirect effects. I.E.

Someone who types twice as fast is more likely to be comfortable to throw in that extra line of docs/comments that explains that whacky line of code.

Someone who has taken the time to improve the speed of the thing they are supposed to do for most of the working day, is a little more likely to be someone who cares about their job.

It will if your certs are managed via a git repo.

Where did these laws come from, why do they exist? My childhood (independent playing outside, going to the park by yourself, etc…) is not literally illegal, or did these laws always exist and no one cared?

Interesting hypothesis, I’ve not heard it before. It would suggest that atheists and nominal/non practicing religious people would decrease in number over time (whereas in the pre industrialized world everyone was incentivized to have children because they help run the farm/family business)

If true, it would suggest a future where the world is much more religious, or a world that somehow deindustrialized.

I am genuinely surprised to find out that some people leave large sums of money in these types of non-bank services. Why don’t people move the money out? Is it too much trust of the competence of these organisations?

Whether it is a person or an AI bot, if the end result is indistinguishable from an AI chat bot, then it is effectively for all intents and purposes just an AI chat bot.
