Is there a world in which OpenSwiftUI will be usable on Android?

I don't know enough about Open Swift UI to answer. Are they gone? With Skip Tools, anything is possible, probably.

This is the equivalent of force-unwrap in Swift, which is strongly discouraged. Swift format will reject this anti-pattern. The code running the internet probably should not force unwrap either.

Yes Claude is down with a 500 (cloudflare).

The largest number factored by Shor's algorithm is 21.

Even 21 was only possible by cheating (optimizing away the difficult part using prior knowledge of the results) [1]. Craig Gidney has a blog post that shows the actual quantum circuit for factoring 21 which is far beyond the capabilities of current quantum computers [2].

And it was done in 2012. I admit I’m surprised there hasn’t been more progress since.

Overview of QC factoring records, applied sleight-of-hand tricks, and their replication using a VIC-20 8-bit home computer from 1981, an abacus, and a dog:

As someone on a similar journey, I've found doing open source work on fundamental projects really helps with the feeling of being alone.

Perhaps someone who knows what they're talking about should update the Wikipedia page on io_uring [1]. Someone with a casual interest in Linux internals will probably get a poor impression of io_uring security which appears to be largely due to Google using an old kernel in Android [2].

It still does not hook up to seccomp, so needs to be blocked by things doing syscall filtering. Its blocked by docker/podman. It may also be disabled with hardened kconfig or selinux.

If it ever integrates with LSMs, then it may be time to give it another look.

I suppose landlock works with is_uring, doesn't it?

This all depends on the use-case.

For example, if the service is using a massive dataset hosted on AWS such as Sentinel 2 satellite imagery, then the bandwidth and egress costs will be the driving factors.

The successful projects I've worked on, the technical staff have been given autonomy, responsibility and full insight into the problem space. This requires managers putting a lot of trust in the engineers, but it works.

Large projects I've worked on failed simply because nobody wanted the solution in the first place.

In government I've seen many millions spent on projects that were either forgotten about or the politician that requested it lost office.

I just cannot believe what a cluster of a show this is. Microsoft, you own NPM, sort it out. It's ridiculous.

> Serious question: should someone develop new technologies using Node any more?

Serious answer: no.

I think I'm going to just use a static site generator, maybe add some WASM modules built with a language that has a sane package manager and enjoy my life instead of getting involved with this cluster of a show.
