That has been Microsoft's gameplan for years. While Apple delivers, Microsoft promises it will deliver soon. And then it never happens.

How is Apple AI delivery going?

Especially everything that was shown at WWDC 2024?

Lol yeah... unfortunately we're not living in the times anymore when Steve Jobs announced the Intel build of Mac OS X and then mentioned that he did the whole presentation on Intel. Now it's "coming with macOS 27". And then "27.1". Maybe.

Yes, for a developer it's great.

But then you come across things like "movie not playing due to missing DRM support" and crap like that.

Normal users are probably better off with a Macbook.

But that has nothing to do with the language.

Absolutely, and it's a good language when used properly. This was more of a problem with the hype surrounding it.

That's what we've been doing for a long time. But that's not possible with today's China anymore. They are as innovative as the rest, if not more so.

and it costs 749 bucks....

You're right re commercial. If it's personal use, twenty bucks a month.

They should just buy Delphi from Embarcadero and make it available cheaply. And put Anders back in charge. Then maybe people would start writing proper native Win64 Software again...

I believe the damage is done and there will be no going back to the old ways. This time around I'm sensing a real change in attitude. People in Europe are sick and tired of all the US bullshit that's been going on for far too long. It's not just the lunatic in the White House. It's the whole system that's being rejected. The endless greed. The bigotry. The war on everything. Peaceful cooperation and coexistence, that's what we want. I'm for my part quite happy and optimistic about the deal with India and I hope more regions will follow soon.

Europe and the five eyes are far too racist and/or chauvinist for what you’re saying. HN is a great microcosm of liberal (which is western and white) ideals and thinking. You can’t really post about resistance to western hegemony here or in most situations around Americans, Canadians, Europeans.

Something not brought up much is how colonized minds works. Colonized minds don’t suddenly become uncolonized because of a brash leader. Eastern Europe since the fall of the Soviets is a great example of this.

Agreed. See also Mark Carney saying "this is a rupture, not a transition" at Davos. We aren't going back.

Well said.

Skip indoctrination so that we can easier indoctrinate you...

C++ is not that hard to pick up. But writing error free C++ code is hard as hell.

It's not quite there yet: https://ferrocene.dev/en?ref=blog.pictor.us
