The Apple foldable is coming. There's no way they invested so much R&D for a thinner phone if they aren't looking to get into that market.

"The Ali Baba Cave" example from the Wikipedia article is what made it click for me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-knowledge_proof.

The problem then it's anti-SLAPP not doing what it's supposed to.

I'm rather new to the concept of objects and morphisms myself, but I love how fields like category theory allow one to "zoom out" far enough in abstraction that two seemingly different concepts are actually the same applied to distinct contexts.

supernikio2 — Sat, 27 Apr 2024 19:49:44 +0000

Doesn't the very nature of open-source mean you can just abandon it and have someone else take up the torch when you're done maintaining it?

In that case, Linux creators would be liable for not taking any steps within the Linux kernel preventing you from pirating a game on the platform.

I feel like the "killer app problem" is not unique to the Quest, but the whole VR ecosystem. I'm being cautiously optimistic Apple will finally break through and find an app that will appeal to the masses, and even though the price is not attainable for 95% of the population, that will trickle down and find it's way to the broader market.

>So what’s the killer app?

I feel like the answer to that question will come next year, when Apple's Vision Pro is out.

New comment by supernikio2 in "How to find time to learn after work (2017)"

supernikio2 — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 16:18:00 +0000

I agree much of this fall under "working for free" but it doesn't have to. I for instance, work as a web developer and really want to get into making games, which is a huge undertaking in itself. It requires deep, productive time of learning and experimentation, and I often find myself drained after work to tackle such activities.

However, I do feel like working through projects like this and coming out the other side with something tangible is a high like no other, and I despite how hard it might be, it's really invigorating and gratifying.

Yes, because China has double the population as the whole of Europe. Ceasing operations in the UK wouldn't hurt their revenue as much as doing so in China.

Can Google really do this? What if I'm using Safari on OS X, or Firefox on Linux?

New comment by supernikio2 in "Google is already pushing WEI into Chromium"

supernikio2 — Wed, 26 Jul 2023 13:25:58 +0000

I've heard time and time again how this is "the end of the free web". Can someone succinctly explain how this is the case, for somebody not familiar with web browser architecture? What does WEI provide that wasn't previously possible?

supernikio2 — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 19:10:21 +0000

I'm of course speaking from an outsider's point of view, but do you think PHP was a good option, or was it a "fitting a square peg into a round hole" situation?

It's getting worse by the minute, too. What used to be a subreddit might now be a Discord server, which is in my opinion even worse, keeping solutions/questions to certain issues within Discord's own walls.

You now have to enter a server, search for your specific problem, and, if not found, ask someone and wait for them to respond. If results are on the first page of google it's much more friction-less and convenient imho.
