I think I remember discussing this briefly in #rust with you. It's clearly not the case that "everyone understands" how these package managers actually work, but I'd rather see the reality become more obvious than give…
To be pedantic, the Unicode standard disrecommends the use of a BOM in UTF-8-encoded documents rather than declaring it invalid.
Antialiasing (nominally) makes text easier to read. Motion blur makes everything it's applied to harder to see.
This is the case. With an addon that deletes most but not all homepage items or sidebar recommendations, YouTube does some noticeable spinning trying to fill the space which keeps getting emptied.
I've been meaning to write a proper blog post for a while, but in the meantime here is a gist with notes[1] and the code in context[2]. [1] https://gist.github.com/SpaceManiac/79a507858fbe3946a0c40e99... [2]…
I recently ported an early-2000s 2D game to WebAssembly and old Asyncify was too clunky and the Emterpreter was too slow to be useful. To get things working comfortably I ended up porting the game loops to use Clang's…
> purely because the internet companies are also content companies I have no doubt this is a reason, but most ISPs also oversell their bandwidth. If every customer with a 10Mbit line is only using it 10% of the time,…
It's senseless to store files that don't have user-facing meaning in My Documents. I know games that use it varyingly for web caches, shader caches, binary config files, debug logs, Lua scripts, downloaded mods, and…
DVDs have region locking. The United States and Canada happen to be in the same region, and there are bypasses, but technical controls against importing digital goods are already normalized, and I doubt this analogy…
I'd argue that it's the practice and not the principle of auto-updates which is unsound. Automatic security patches make a lot of sense in the current security climate, but once that infrastructure exists it is…
The author means making compute time on the hardware available to run CI builds on their service. If you care about porting your software to RISC-V enough to want to test that software there, hardware is probably a more…
10 characters each is a depressingly low limit. Many usernames and project names exceed it with no problems. Imposing such a nonsensical sanction on someone for lighthearted fun also seems... odd, to say the least.
The "survey ship" in the Galactic Civilizations series looks pretty much exactly like the USS Enterprise.
In my experience, keeping software and firmware aggressively up to date is far more likely to randomly break functionality and workflow and require my time and effort to fix than doing nothing and crossing my fingers…
"Honeypot mpaa operatos could sue torrent users more easily" Irrelevant, since Comcast already hands this information over to such parties willingly.
Reminds me a bit of a process I've been wrestling with to redeem a "rebate" (gift card to a chosen retailer from a list) on an online textbook, negotiated between the professor and the textbook company after the…
This is the big one. Glowstone was designed to be a native implementation of the Bukkit API (back when it was still on top), and I assure you that that API, and thereby every plugin built against it, makes some heavy…
If you're interested in doing anything with Minecraft where starting from the official client/server won't cut it, #mcdevs is the right place. I have no idea about what the players want these days. The…
"End to end" refers specifically to the two people involved - that is, nobody but the sender and recipient of a communication can read it. Twitter DMs happen over TLS, but they're not end-to-end - Twitter knows the…
The site could just as easily serve you the resized image directly instead of an HTML page which will then embed the same resized image. I've already seen Imgur tell the difference between page visits and appearing in…
Worked for me on Firefox for Android 52.0.1.
This is a good choice of selectors, but I wonder what styles one should apply to <meta>, <script>, or <link> tags that will get them to actually display anything. Some fiddling in Firefox didn't reveal the solution.
GP means Visual Basic, probably as in the VB macros that you can write within Word/Excel/Access etc., in which there is surely a huge amount of code written by otherwise non-programmers.
While maybe literally true, "risk that you cannot understand" is a little overthreatening. Are you implying extrajudicial financial ruin, torture, murder? I doubt it, so what?
Maybe I read it differently, but it seems to me that GP us more concerned with the institutional bias and the attitude rather than anything relating to legal liability... the programmer is allowed to get away with…
