I had the exact opposite experience. It doesn't teach the basics needed to even solve the first puzzle. Which language are we even writing in? Clicking help explains what exactly to do but not why, as well as lots of…
You mean un-uninstallable crapware? This has at least a technical reason: Preloaded apps are part of the read-only system image and cannot be removed. "Disabling" should be equivalent, though. It's not just preloaded…
Mobile browsers are assuming you're looking at a legacy page optimized for desktops (widescreen) and have a relatively large virtual screen size by default. They expect you to manually zoom in as necessary. Adding this…
The image gets de-saturated but the noise that's mixed in is colored. This looks like a mistake. I think the noise is also way too 'soft'. At high frequencies it just becomes near-uniform gray so it barely affects the…
Firefox on Android can override this via a toggle in the Accessibility settings. Maybe other browsers have something similar?
The perspective shifts so that the up-down direction becomes the hidden dimension. So the ceiling and floor disappear (and you have trouble avoiding lava) and you only see the walls of the space.
I wish TERM would contain a list of terminal types in decreasing order of specificity, like 'ghostty:xterm-256color', so a system that doesn't know what ghostty is would fall back to xterm-256color, but that ship has…
To be clear, walking backwards (away from the target) reduced your bullet velocity relative to the target, reducing the damage you were doing and leading to you needing more shots.
The bad tutorial at least has some narrative justification. It's just a filter for people who are already useful as shock troops with minimal training.
The only wrong thing I've been throwing is the SOS Beacon instead of a Reinforce, which is just annoying, and not just once. It makes the game public if it was friends-only and gives it priority in the quick play queue.…
The game logic is also weird. It seems like they started with at attempt at a realistic combat simulator which then had lots of unrealistic mechanics added on top in an attempt to wrangle it into an enjoyable game. As…
Which codegen backend the building compiler uses is independent of which codegen backend(s) the built compiler uses. Similarly, you can build Clang using itself or using GCC. The resulting compiler should behave the…
The "about" does a lot of heavy lifting in this example. Dividing 10,000,000_10 by the number of grains that fit into one universe doesn't change it much. The 10,000,000 would get smaller somewhere in the deep depths of…
MSYS2 is basically Cygwin with Pacman for package management, plus several other environments with either GCC or Clang and different Windows-Native C and C++ runtimes. It's nice, but not perfect. It inherits a lot of…
Pretty much. AFAIK you're waiting for Windows Defender and other hooks to run.
I think the implication was that they're pointers to objects that own resources (like containing FILE handles) and need to be "freed" with a custom function, not just "free". void my_thing_free(MyThing *thing) {…
No, it also covers the data. As long as you don't delete the rollback subvolume, all the original data should still be there, uncorrupted. Even if you disable copy-on-write, as long as the rollback subvolume is there to…
All of it. With a checksums-of-checksums scheme like a Merkele tree, you can effectively and efficiently checksum all the data and keep incremental changes cheap. You only need to update the checksums of the data blocks…
Because it's an incredibly complex mess that will allow sandbox escape if it isn't implemented exactly right. Also, it's still in draft status. Not that that means much.
No, they're talking about the local connections that are covered by the ticket. They're that bad. I've had similar experiences commuting into Cologne where it's 40 minutes by car or 2 hours by train, and that's without…
The main reason they picked Arch is the rolling release model with updates from upstream projects they work with landing quickly and continuously. So yes, TH's speculation is just off the mark here.
I'm not sure how this gets rendered, but the lack of hinting makes it a strain to read. What irony that an article about progress in text rendering has such awful rendering quality. PS: That is in Firefox. In Chrome it…
I don't know about power stations, but it's a common feature in medical devices. E.g. keyboards have a flat or nearly-flat surface so they can be easily cleaned by wiping without leaving any germs behind in a groove, or…
If it were chemically/biologically stable until it has been mechanically eroded into microscopic particles, that would at least avoid adding to our microplastics problem.
No, they haven't. "Instant Payments"/"Instant Credit Transfers" are specifically transfers completed in seconds. Banks usually charge more for this service than for regular transfers, which complete on the next business…
