Even looking at the comments from that thread and the Codeberg page at that time in archive.org, I don't really see much that points to it as a proper GitHub alternative, other than the editorialized (I think) post…
I have a similar opinion but I think Java's model with maven and friends hits the sweet spot: - Packages are always namespaced, so typosquating is harder - Registries like Sonatype require you to validate your domain -…
Same. I was surprised that both Fira Code and Fira Mono were options, that was a bit cheeky.
> I work from home and value it but it never would occur to me to strike for that. I believe that the value from WFH varies a lot from person to person. If you were working from the office before and the company changed…
Unrelated to the word "daemon", but related to the article, I was a bit surprised by this assertion: > Eventually, though, the theory of quantum mechanics showed why it wouldn't work. I was familiar with the information…
This. I assume it's a similar argument as the one presented in https://loglog.games/blog/leaving-rust-gamedev/ Edit: I just noticed that this article is also writen in the archival reason. I'll leave it here anyway for…
> Seems like they didn't pursue it in future consoles I don't think this is entirely true. Sure, there was nothing like the Net Yaroze, but the PS2 came with Yabasic[1] on the demo disk and had a Linux distro[2], and…
> Why the heck not use AI when it's better? I think that, in its current iteration, it is not that easy to know. I haven't tried GPT 4 (which I've heard is much better), but my experiences with 3.5 have been extremely…
One of the issues I have with "languages that don't suck anymore" is that, even after the language gets all the cool new features, you'll still end up having to use some libraries targeting old versions. So you end up…
I think you just need the Wohnungsgeberbestätigung from the landlord and fill the registration paperwork at the Bürgeramt (which, depending on your city, might be a bit hard to get an appointment), you might also need…
It's interesting to see PornHub in there, but not the other Aylo (former MindGeek) properties (YouPorn, RedTube...). I wonder if they could in theory bypass the DSA by just breaking PH into smaller services and hope for…
> That's not a good idea though. I wonder why you say that. At least an ad for a specific ad blocker sounds like a great idea. - Ideally, you don't send ads to users of your product - Users of inferior products will see…
> This is the part that I don't get either. I can imagine hearing "this coffee shop got better since the new owners", but I know I have heard "this place used to be good until it changed owners". And since the new…
I was ondering about it as well, and it appears to be explained in detail here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c00B3uE5FV8 I think it's a similar technique to Sonic 3D's Intro FMV on the Genesis/Megadrive…
As a very casual Instagram user, I had a similar experience to the parent comment (not so much now). From what I can tell, this is the way Instagram recommendations treat cold start users. It was only when I started…
From what I can tell, this is the first version without a composite video output, correct? It's a bit of a shame. What are the alternatives for someone who needs a computer connected to an old CRT TV? Are there other…
FWIW, you can now install PWA apps with Firefox. The implementation is not as polished as chrome, though.
> Also managing to have everyone on the same patch for $GAME could waste hours. This one hits close to home. IIRC, in some games it was not even that obvious that someone had a different version (e.g. maybe they just…
I had completely forgot about sending MMS via mail! (Not Verizon, but my provider had a similar thing) If I recall, some times the message would be delayed by quite a while, so it was not a reliable replacement for SMS,…
This. I was recently backing up some stuff from an old Mac OS 8 machine and it was amazing how snappy a lot of things feel. But if something is not on RAM you can clearly notice it.
I'll always be surprised on how badly teamspeak dropped the ball (although it seems that they finally have an open beta for teamspeak 5!). Discord would probably win at the end anyway, especially because of the need for…
Hijacking this comment in case you (or someone from HN) knows. Is there any particular reason that AIFF uses an 80-bit extended float precision for the sample rate, instead of a 32-bit integer like WAVE? I assume this…
Unfortunately, I don't think this is always true for physical SIMs. I recently bought a temporary SIM in the US during my holidays (StraightTalk) and was surprised that you can only use the physical SIM after you…
I think you can still be fingerprinted without cookies or Javascript (e.g. with HSTS supercookies). It's obviously not as effective.
I would say even earlier than 2008, at least if my memory is not betraying me. I guess it depends of your definition of blog, but I remember Fotolog being incredibly popular circa 2006 even when compared to mainstream…
