A lot of people have suffered, but at least it was for nothing.

How did Dutch end up in the English wordbank for a Portuguese lesson in Duolingo?

Am I crazy or is Bing currently just not indexing a ton of sites and people? Even using "site:" just gives me random results in other languages. Netflix and Google show up fine, UniFi and Lutron homepages aren't even on the first page (unless I use "site":), and spacebar.news is gone altogether.

I've been bedridden for the last 6 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again. If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive. ko-fi.com/fooneturing

I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

I got 2 of the 32" Samsung Odyssey G70D a few months back because Samsung was doing one of their crazy sales that are probably just the proper retail pricing, and they're pretty good but they also have so many weird issues.

We are excited to announce the creation of the Android Workgroup!

The primary goal of the Android workgroup is to establish and maintain Android as an officially supported platform for Swift.

To learn more and get involved with the Android Workgroup:

    Read the Android Workgroup charter
    Discuss ideas in the Android forum
    Use the @android-workgroup handle to reach out to the workgroup directly in the forums

I was gonna write congratulations Swift. But actually more like: congratulations Android developers! Today Android devs can develop in the great language Kotlin, soon they can develop in the AMAZING language Swift!

This is really cool to see! Well done everyone who has worked on this so far!

Off topic:
GPT generated inspired by Dr Kings 'I have a dream' - but the dream of SwiftUI support on Android, Windows and WASM

AI is good at translation actually

What happened with Polygon today is so fucked. Vox Media has made some atrocious decisions in my six years here but this is really something else. And to do this in the middle of us bargaining a new union contract, where they scold us for asking for better protections, is just unconscionable.

So not only can you run Windows 7 in Parallels' x86 emulator with Aero, it also even supports Coherence.

Lets replace search with "AI" then! Totally logical if you ask me. Even more worth it when you know they're exponentially overtaking the airline industry in their carbon footprint. Study: www.cjr.org/tow_center/w...

I made a Doom source port that runs within a PDF file. PDFs support Javascript, so Emscripten is used to compile Doom to asm.js, which is then run within the PDF engine. Input/output is done by manipulating text input fields. doompdf.pages.dev/doom.pdf github.com/ading2210/do...

Hundreds of musicians are speaking out against the recording industry’s lawsuit against our library for preserving 78rpm records 👉 www.rollingstone.com/music/music-... (🚫🧱) Want to show your support? ⬇️
Tommy Cappel, who co-founded the group Beats Antique, says the Archive is “hugely valued in the music community” for its preservation of everything from rare recordings to live sets. “This is important work that deserves to continue for generations to come, and we don’t want to see everything they’ve already done for musicians and our legacy erased,” he added. “Major labels could see all musicians, past and present, as partners — instead of being the bad guy in this dynamic. They should drop their suit. Archives keep us alive.”

a constant pattern, across every industry i've seen or been in, is that most people working in it want to make enough money to get by, and usually get pretty good at it but then some Money Person comes in to Optimizie it and absolutely destroys the product that made money in the first place
