The company says it’s focusing on ‘quality and reliability’ while also laying off hundreds. It’s also changing how the microphone works in the Google app and Pixel Search bar. Why cancel the product once, when you can cancel it feature by feature?

One wonders if they are taking usage metrics and if a feature doesn't reach a certain threshold they "prune the branch".

Not long ago I was part of a discussion about using mechanical things to demonstrate computing concepts (such as building a learning Tic-Tac-Toe game out of matchboxes). I'm guessing no DOOM?

In late December 2023 (Christmas Day to be precise), CPython core developer Brandt Bucher submitted a little pull-request to the Python 3.13 branch adding a JIT compiler. Does it also come with just-in-time whitespace?

And if you can't really trust acts... don't get me started about texts explaining that acts (there are as many different versions as there are people writing about the same fact)

My take is that I don't need to bother with deciding to trust/not trust acts or worry too much about hidden agendas.
If I really want any mountains moved any certain direction then worrying with what rocks other people are moving is just wasting time I could be spending moving my own rocks just the way I think they oughta be moved.
