You seem to be describing the use of makefiles for the purpose they're intended for: Describing a DAG where each node is a file and each edge is a build step. This is not a misuse of Make and not what I'm complaining about. That b

I can't easily do such mental arithmetic quickly enough for it to be faster than just estimating the number of lines and correcting. I once tried to solve this by using relative numbers and it didn't help much. I just turned the n

Misusing makefiles as a poor man's bash script with a switch statement. I still don't get it. If you write a bash or POSIX shell script then you need to learn bash/POSIX shell (or suffer the consequences of not learning it).

You don't have to do that if you don't mind leaking metadata about the time when a record was created.

It may be expensive, but that's unlikely to be due to infringement. Most code written by most companies has been written a thousand times already, and there is nothing illegal about recreating a library which behaves the same as someth

There's the relative number line etc, but I've never actually encountered a situation where I felt the need to make a jump to a line number on the screen and didn't do it with basic vim motions instead. Every time I'm go

I think lots of people are comfortable with smaller fonts, but I find myself genuinely straining my eyes too much and getting headaches if I go smaller than this, and I already wear glasses (although I should probably update my prescription

I would damn hope you can configure/disable this. But why is it the default? And if the answer is "discoverability" then where is the default-on fuzzy find, default-on command palette, default-on context menu, etc? My point w

Aside from the DVD issue mentioned in the other person's comment. I have a design for a SED OPAL based encryption setup where the system boots with a read-only boot partition and it only becomes RW as part of the initramfs running (alt

I really don't get why this is the modern editor style of choice. 20% (35 chars) of screen space permanently wasted on a always on file browser (meanwhile the animation showcases fuzzy finding) 4% (7 chars) of screen space permanently

Sounds like a problem both caused and solvable by your web browser. At least with Firefox it is possible to style it dark while setting prefers-color-scheme to light.

You stop them once, they pop up elsewhere. I really don't think legal recourse helps here at all. These entities are usually coming out of jurisdictions which don't care about enforcing the relevant laws anyway. Likewise if your o

Wow, I didn't know you could do this with the Apache License. This is a fork with a license which revokes some of the permissive aspects. Honestly, I wish FUTO didn't do this. When Louis Rossmann made a video about Grayjay he clai

Assuming this was done in free time, for fun and posted here because it looks cool, why would you hold these expectations? This is the kind of expectations you should have of a commercial product that you're paying for. Not of someone&

Interesting discussions in the comments regarding reuse, waste, QR codes, etc. Worth bearing in mind that in the UK train stations have mixed NFC, QR and magnetic readers. The ones which are the least reliable are the magnetic readers which

"system of communication via virtual networks" Wow, amazing. Why don't they just patent the process of filing for a patent already? I bet they could troll so many people doing that.

There just won't be any rootkits or games which require such anti cheat on linux. That's the most likely end result.

While it's possible to have attestation without anything proprietary/closed source. If you look at widevine you will quickly notice how that's very unlikely to happen. While it's possible to do this in containers, if you

The reason companies seem to bother at this point is that, by implementing increasingly intrusive anti-cheat, they force cheaters to be increasingly subtle. With sufficiently intrusive anti-cheat you end up with gamers believing that the ga

You have as much control over it as you do over windows in this state: i.e. uninstalling the OS. Just because you know what the base is doing, doesn't mean you get to see what the proprietary kernel level drivers, loaded at runtime, ar
