Huh. I'm a M$ shareholder (was gifted some shares about 25 years ago). I wonder if I should sue them for losing out on market share because they didn't port to other platforms.

You say that like it'd be a bad thing.

It currently supports frameworks like Angular, Flutter, Next.js, React, Svelte and Vue, and languages like JavaScript and Dart, with support for Python, Go and others in the works.

Now folks that want to kill a bunch of people just take it out on video games.

I miss the good old days.

Thanks for the links.

I wish 'em luck, but the tech that "would be working in a year" looks like it's been nearly a decade.

I've grown pessimistic; this looks like a money grab to me.

Bullshit. Or please provide a reference. The last time I remember hearing about a possible breakthrough solar advance was the one that converted to heat before energy - which was bragging about possible 80%. Seems to have come to nothing. I'll dig up a reference if you really want, but this is nearly a decade ago?

So, yeah, I'd love to see an advance like that. But I don't think it's coming.

We've been afraid of computers now for at least 40 years, if not longer.

At a glance, it looks like they pay teachers more than they pay most people. That's not the case in a lot of places - certainly not the case here in the US.

While that's a fair point, I hope we've past where that matters. It looks like there were 135 shuttle flights. 2 of which ended in disaster.

There have been more than 170 falcon flights - though very few of those crewed. Looks like 1 failed mission. No deaths.

There are a lot fewer crewed missions than there used to be. I guess that's mostly because there don't need to be. Letting folks do the work on the ISS for longer periods works well. And spacex (and others) can launch satellites from uncrewed.

At the rate things are going, by the time there is a death, the numbers are still going to look pretty good.

One of these days it will be interesting to see how one of the emergency cut-out solutions works...

Like I said: vapor.

If it ain't shipped - final - it's vapor.
Sometimes even if it has shipped - if "it just needs a software update to get it really working" - it's still vapor.

"After noting that his Gmail account had been hacked..."

Could we stop saying that? It's not like some "hackers" cranked out some leet scripts and broke into gmail. His laptop was hacked. Or he had a crap password. Ot he was videod typing it in. And he didn't have 2fa.

We need a new phrase. One that doesn't evoke script kiddies in basements. One that doesn't imply blame on gmail.

Let's check that "nothing alike":
* Both are computer displays strapped to your head
* Both have no compelling reason to exist
* Both are currently vapor

It may be about as accurate as comparing a motorcycle to a car - but for Jill Consumer, those are both vehicles. And in this case the vehicles don't go anywhere. That's pretty much *identical*.

Uhm. Maybe you have never been to San Francisco - where this accident happened? One end of Toland streed is a 5 way intersection. The city is a maze of one way streets, steep hills, not-grid intersections, no left turn streets, service and main streets, alleys, etc. This accident MAY have taken place at a grid-like area (I don't know offhand), but certainly the testing done in the city is some of the trickiest in the US.

I'm not saying that it'll be good enough to navigate Mumbai or China. But I'd give it solid odds in Rome. That is, once it's good enough at US roads - which may be a long time from now.

The tail is *infinite*.
