I've been trying with little avail to get a Windows 10 VM running on Windows 10 which isn't graphically jittery. I plan to use this VM to download random games without having to worry about potential malware. I've tried…

I'm struggling to find a great post I saw here a few months (years) back on what I think was a very technical dive into the exact details of attaining the ability to compile complex things by writing code that…

Just now I was trying to spell "manipulable" and I typed in "manipuble". It gave three options to fix this: "manipulee", "maniple", and "manipulees". But if you just try to google "manipuble", it will inform you that…

I was browsing through vercels docs when I noticed that password protecting [1] a project (so that anyone previewing a deployment needs a password) is an optional add on feature for (an insane?) $150 per month. A pro…

I'm working on a project and i'm at a step where there are several options for accomplishing the task, any of them working will do. And because I really don't care which of them I use, I try to find which of them will…

I was creating a bucket on GCP and noticed what I thought was an odd restriction[0]: > Bucket names cannot begin with the "goog" prefix. > Bucket names cannot contain "google" or close misspellings, such as "g00gle".…

Just thought of a hypothetical that made me very curious about multiple volume bars. Right at this moment I have a volume slider for spotify, then a layer up there's one for my computer, and a further layer up there's…

Often I'll get an idea, then I'll think about how simple it seems and how it's likely already been tried / done a million times, and I'll drop that line of thought. But then I think about how that exact thinking has…

I have a simple game in mind, and I've been contemplating just directly using canvas's API. But I don't actually know if I'd lose out by doing so (e.g. frameworks may be able to catch obscure browser specific rendering…

I see it all the time, enter a password that's at least 8 characters (good), but no more than 20 characters (why?) I don't even see how it makes things easier for a dev. Who benefits from this restriction? I can…

Lately I've been editing files on my local system through an IDE, and through Putty I just paste the code into the proper file through VIM (vim somefile -> gg -> dG -> shift-insert). If it's particularly complex i'll…

With the incoming end of flash in browser support, it leads me to wonder whether any current web technologies will themselves lose support in the next 10 or so years. Are there any current popular technologies that may…

The two most prevalent conventions are by far C style with forward slashes, and using # to comment out single lines (python, and often in config files). Some languages have their own differing conventions, e.g. HTML…

I've seen many discussions about how security by obscurity isn't itself effective. Though it's led me to think about some obscure protocols that I can't see any way anyone could just figure out. For instance, keep port…

I've read through pricing plans of many providers, including aws, gcp, digital ocean, and a myriad of other web hosting providers that advertise as being budget friendly that were new to me. I'm aware of free options…

To clarify, consider that a single long message can efficiently and losslessly be compressed with methods such as a huffman encoding. But when sending many small messages, you may lose out on a broader encoding that…

I was building an app for chess on topologies other than just the plane, and in testing I couldn't figure out why the king was disallowed from making a certain move. It turned out it was functioning perfectly, and it…
