The world runs on software. AI makes it easier to create more software, but it still requires humans to keep running and decide what to do. Maybe each individual project will need less pure coders, but there might be a lot more projects?


Still leaves the problem of not being able to simply send the current URL to someone else and know they'll see the same thing. Of course anchors can solve this, but not automatically


You probably don't want that most of the time, though. The time I'm most likely to send someone an article is once I've got to the end of it, but I don't want them to jump to the end of the article, I want them to start at the beginning again.

There are situations where you want to link to a specific part of a page, and for that anchors and text anchors work well. But in my experience it isn't the default behaviour that I want for most pages.


Chrome (at least?) solves this via Text Fragments[0] which are a pure client side thing and requires no server or site support.

This URI for example:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/...

Links to an instance of "The Referer" narrowed down via a start prefix ("downgrade:") and end suffix ("to origins").

These are used across Google I believe so many have probably seen them.

Scroll position doesn’t do this because it’s not portable between devices.


I'm sure you know of this, but just sharing the map for others: https://projectmapping.co.uk/Reviews/Resources/Europe%20nigh...

The situation is a lot better today than 10 years ago or so, largely thanks to ÖBB Nightjet. But yep, it's not only state railway companies anymore, as can be seen on the map


No. It's just a pre-sale for members. From below: "For a limited time*, paid Nintendo Switch Online members in the United States and Canada can purchase Alarmo online via the My Nintendo Store before it is available to purchase by the general public."


In general, they were not. You're probably thinking of the very niche and unsuccessful Maemo/MeeGo project - eg Nokia N900 - that were indeed Linux-based. But everything else smartphone-ish from Nokia before Lumia (Windows Phone) were Symbian, which predates Linux and has nothing to do with it.


I am of course referring to Maemo, as per my previous post.


Yep, this is basically what the "you wouldn't call watching somebody play a game playing" argument, which was mentioned in the article, boils down to.


Perhaps many people building code do not need multiple 16x PCI-Express cards in their day to day workflow, but like being able to move around with their laptop?


Yeah , perhaps -- but

>Apple Silicon devices can get the same performance as a desktop in a laptop size.

is still unequivocally wrong, bordering on belligerent marketing misinformation.


For lots of workloads it is basically true, though. Not something exclusive to Apple laptops of course, others have also been capable programming workhorses for quite some years. It's just weird to say that no compiling should be done on a laptop - that might've been true 10 years ago.


iPhone is not using RCS yet. It has only been announced, to be launched some time in 2024. See eg https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateoflahertyuk/2023/11/17/appl...


Weird, I'm getting the RCS bits in Android from some iPhone people. I don't think they're using a different messenger than iMessage.


It literally says the average is 95k, there is no choice involved.


Well, what you're saying is actually true. But if you have a look at the "graph" you'll see that it's skewed because of fewer but higher salaries. I'm thinking of the median and wouldn't consider the average to have any indication whatsoever.


I've seen comments that basically amount to "here we set the variable to 5". Comments also come with a maintenance burden, it's easy to forget to update them when the code changes.
