I'm a hyprland zoomer but I used Niri for a bit and it worked pretty well. It slots in perfectly for someone coming from an average single-monitor Windows workflow (for most office-style tasks). I still think that more complex tiling setups have a higher productivity ceiling though. I guess if you're like this guy and keep >10 workspaces open at once you'd have to go with Niri. I wonder if the increased battery life would still hold for someone that only keeps a few windows open at once. 2 hours is insane from just a change of wm

Any modern web scraping set up is going to require browser agents. You will probably have to build your own tools to get anything from a major social media platform, or even NYT articles.

The tragic consequence will be people drinking this oat and almond juice, thinking it is similar to milk in how healthful it is, and even giving it to children.
Most regular milk contains abnormally high quantities of endocrine disruptors/bioactive hormones. It probably is not very good to give to children.
Seems like a weirdly timed article given the new S curve is about to start with ML finding numerous real world applications.
The presence of currently unfolding areas of innovation doesn't discredit the fact that the exponential progress we've enjoyed since the Industrial Revolution has slowed suddenly over the past few decades.

Questions:
1. What are the implications for the open source or cleanroom JVMs?
2. What are the implications for JVM-based languages like Kotlin, Scala, Clojure, Groovy, etc.?
Speculation:
Even though, it doesn't apply to the OpenJDK, it still sends a signal that the JVM licensing/pricing terms may change in the future. Unlike other corporations developing PLs/runtimes, Oracle does derive their income from this activity.
It make sense to avoid potential licensing/prcing changes by migrating to the JVM to modern and/or less resource-hungry PLs.
This process already started in the Big Data infra space with projects like ScyllaDB and RedPanda.
At a certain point, Oracle can safely assume that everything that still hasn't migrated to a modern language will never migrate to a modern language
