I love (read, hate) the trend of using Serif fonts and marketing material that pull on nostalgic vibes. Surely, AI has been revolutionary in its own regard, for better or worse. But, the more they go into 80/90s style advertising, the more the allure of it dies.
Could it just be a new trend? There are just two options in this case (serifs or no), so I’d expect it to flip back and forth sometimes.
The broader trend is pulling back a bit on “minimalism,” right? I think we hit peak (or valley?) minimalism already so I guess there’s only one way to go.
I do agree with you, there is a reverse in the minimalism trends (which I am incredibly happy to see).
However, in my opinion this specific typeface and aesthetic is been taken up by AI companies to harken back to the likes of the 1984 Macintosh ads and such...in an attempt to try and convey that "$(AI_PRODUCT) is just as revolutionary as the first desktop PCs".
CompSci grad in the US as well, it is genuinely a sea of either Macs or ThinkPads with $INSERT_FAV_LINUX_DISTRO here, and even then 66% of that are Macs.
The collections of threads, statements, and accusations on both sides are some of the most unhinged things I have seen in a while, and I don't think any of this helps anyone. :')
this all reads like a bunch of nerds with difficulties assessing on where to draw the line. Is it really that hard to figure out that neither registering a domain to meme a person, nor going on a spazz-posting spree and messaging folks over etsy DMs is considered normal, adjusted behavior??
This is why please have a personal account and personal devices for anything that does not relate to your company or work. This is super critical.
Heck I'd often carry 2 devices if I was traveling, there's no way in hell I would use company laptops. Anything I did on my work Mac, I assumed everyone relevant at work can access into. Kandji already hands over a ton of data wrt this, and I am sure every other MDM solution does too.
You gave your consent when you got the work device and probably signed a document/stated that this was to only be used for work purposes.
Not even a Go user, and yet this is one of the best things I have read today morning. Valgrind is possibly one of the most powerful tools I have in my belt!!
C is the language that benefits the most from tools like Valgrind. It's just so easy in C to write code with memory faults.
Memcheck (the main tool) has shortcomings (very slow, does not detect all kinds of errors). Its strongest point is that it does not need an instrumented build. That can be particularly important if you have issues in 3rd party libraries that you can't build. Its other strong point is that it checks for both addressability and initialisedness at the same time.
My favourite feature is using GDB with Valgrind+vgdb. That allows you to see what memory is addressable and/or initialised from within GDB.
Google, your platform currently does not inspire any privacy. It has no ecosystem going for it (workarounds do not count, I want Apple levels everything-works-together-100%-out-of-the-box). Your Watch and other products have repeatedly been called lukewarm, and the Fitbit integration with Google integration was the last straw that pushed me off your watch platform.
If you want me to buy an iOS clone with no competitive edges, I would rather stick with the real deal. At least Apple has been consistent with their views about what iOS is since day 1.
Also this "system" just seems vulnerable af.
