They probably need to account for parents allowing kids to use their account, so account age can be a factor but not an automatic pass.


One result of a US fine was making it clear that adults letting kids use their accounts is still a legal problem: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2019/09/...

Note that this is adults letting kids use their accounts to view kids content, as the issue was parental approval for ad tracking.


Parents allowing kids to use their account is a problem with any current approach.


Something I recently found out about ARM Cortex M0s, they are small enough and cheap enough that they get used in USB cables to handle protocol negotiation between devices.

Given that the moon lander had a 1Mhz processor and 4kb of ram means we landed on the moon with the compute power of a Vape or USB cable. Wild times indeed.


For non 3d graphics people AABB -> Axis Aligned Bounding Box.


Using the data provided, memory safety issues (use-after-free, memory-leak, buffer-overflow, null-deref) account for 67% of their bugs. If we include refcount It is just over 80%.


>receptionist answering phones and scanning paper records in

They were also converting paper records to digital. Asking the data entry person where the data is or how to find paper record xyz in the digital system doesn't seem odd.


On Android, Gmail reports as being under 200 MB. So I agree, they probably include way to much for portability.


On Android, sharing code is much more feasible than on iOS as far as I understand it, especially if you're Google and can demand that everybody using your apps has Play Services installed.


> Even "hacker", which started out meaning only breaking into computer systems

No. The Etymology of Hacker in the technical scene started at MIT's Tech Model Railroad Club in the late 1950s/early 1960s, "hack" described clever, intricate solutions, pranks, or experiments with technology.

A hacker is one who made those clever solutions, pranks, and technology experiments. "Hacker News" is trying to take it back from criminal activity.


TIL, thanks! Growing up I was only aware of the criminal version -- I didn't realize it grew out of an earlier meaning. I just saw the shift in the tech scene in the 1990s and more broader culturally in the 2000s with "life hacks" and hackathons. What's old is new again...


> I didn’t feel confident enough to evaluate what the agent was doing

So don't. It is vibe coding, not math class. As long as it looks like it works then all good.


Is there any software you think should not be developed with this approach?


It is kind of like how modern art doesn't mean modern today. It means that time period where people called art "modern". Novel meant new as in "novel science results". It was used differentiate prose (the new style at the time) from epic poetry back in the 16 hundreds and stuck. How that translates to Russian IDK.


There is no "novel" (as like "new" thing) as genre in Russian lit. in russian things called "novel" in english are called a russian word that is a translation of "romance". and tbh "romance" makes tons more sense than "novel".

But "novella" (different genre) is a thing in russian.


"Modern" chess openings are from somewhere between 1860 and 1900.

Hypermodern openings emerged after world war 1.

One can only imagine what the old masters would call current chess theory.


>"Open Source" is nebulous

No it isn't it is well defined. The only people who find it "nebulous" are people who want the benefits without upholding the obligations.
