Football!

Pivotal Labs originally, then joined VMWare Tanzu I think, Now in turn bought by Broadcom

That BASIC GOTO joke got me real good, kudos to the author xD

I can suggest LogSeq as a nice alternative for Obsidian. Notes are all in Markdown too!

Yey :D

If I were to guess, it would be the additional pins. USB-C PD is capable of decent power transfer while also having enough data transfer capability simultaneously. USB-C docks are a good example, seeing that you can hook up a display, charger, other USB devices, ethernet, etc and have it all go through a single cable and (compact, convenient) connector. The reversibility is an added bonus

You would probably get a feeling of déjà vu.

Just a hunch from my side, Entropy and Survival of the Fittest strike me as the underpinning principles behind life in general. Since we know empirically that the universe prefers increasing entropy, I like to treat it as a “push” towards increasing the number of possible states (like a search space of sorts). Survival of the Fittest then acts as another “push” towards choosing the right configurations to thrive in any given environment.

With that description, I’d consider such forward planning to be inherently chaotic. Everything on earth (and the universe in general, though sparser) will end up affecting each other via common systems to some extent, so I say just let it loose and observe what happens.

Technology Connections is a nice breath of fresh air in the YouTube space if you want something tech related

I remember this old website that the YouTube team had made which visualised the amount of video time getting uploaded per day on YouTube over the years of its existence, and it was on the order of several years per day or something. Gotta find that site again

Add HMD Nokia to the blocking unlocks completely camp

Doesn’t that already exist as the Factory Reset Protection (FRP) partition?

It really lips the whamma’s ass

Unreal Engine is a major example, you get access to a private repo containing the engine’s source code but you’re bound by an agreement regarding what you can do with it IIRC. Of course anyone is allowed to apply for access though

For 2, the issue is most phones have a lock screen overview sorta effect, where the phone can wake up from sleep with movement or gestures. Actions on the lock screen can hence trigger things, like media playback and emergency dialling

Specific to JS, due to the double equals being type oblivious

'tis how LLM chatbots work. LLMs by design are autocomplete on steroids, so they can predict what the next word should be in a sequence. If you give it something like:

Here is a conversation between the user and a chatbot. <insert description of chatbot>

<insert chat history here>

User: <insert user message here>

Chatbot:

Then it’ll fill in a sentence to best fit that prompt, much like a creative writing exercise

I doubt we’ll need a whole different OS for Quantum though. That’s like saying we need a whole separate OS for GPUs. I find it more likely that they’ll be yet another accelerator attached to an orchestrating CPU.

Containers, the concept that Docker implements, lets app developers give a self-contained environment for distribution. For devs that means consistency in deployments across environments, which in turn means sysadmins can deploy each of these apps as fully isolated units.

With that, you get really clean installs/updates/uninstalls, and your deployments get done with a well-defined, declarative definition file which can also handle multi service dependencies (a la Docker Compose/K8s)

The firmware has to allow it, so if you’ve got physical access to the machine that’s possible. Remote access root, on the other hand, can’t tell the firmware to register new keys as long as it’s configured correctly
