Google would throw homeless people in a furnace to generate electricity for their datacentres if they could. No, this is not sarcasm, I fully expect they would if they could.

Apart from the horrifying privacy implications, this also means all a bot needs to do to access a website is send a screenshot to an Android device. They made the CAPTCHA machine-readable. It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

I kind of wish we had HTML but for GUI. Imagine if you had a "gui" flag in terminfo and you could send an escape sequence on stdout after which you could send out screen updates as a stripped down form of HTML on stdout and receiv

Well yeah, you would store your values in whatever representation fits your domain, then do the calculations with floats based on a suitable origin when needed. For example, for raytracing you would have each model defined in its local coor

My one small nitpick is that vector length is usually 2 instructions with SSE4: dpps xmm0, xmm0, 0x17 ; dot product of 3 lanes, write lane 0 sqrtss xmm0, xmm0 ret And is considerably faster than the fancy version, mainly be

The trolls (and haters) are always the most vocal. It was true 40 years ago and it is still true today: Do NOT feed the trolls.

Ah, the e2 article says it was patented, so no wonder it never gained traction. Surely that patent is long expired, though?

Yeah I will also be safe if I never turn on the PC, but some of us use computers to do actual work.

This sounds so insane to me. If I own land and grow a tree on it, the tree and its fruits are private property forever (mine until I die, then inherited by my children, then their children, or sold, transferred, etc ad nauseam). At no point

What does it matter that the claims are "false" if claiming them as the truth results in encouraging the society we wish to exist? That paper is a cornerstone of sustainability initiatives, if you retract it, you might as well set

The status quo wasn't great for the ordinary people and the only offramp they had was clown world. Brexit should have been a hard lesson proving the people will vote against their own interest if they believe they are also voting for

By googling "best open source games" and finding blogs and forums that talk about them. In fact googling that exact phrase returns as its first search result a Reddit thread in which OpenTTD is one of the first games listed. It&#x

I know things are bad in the USA right now, but news like these show that you still have your basic rights. This kind of song would not fly in any other country on Earth. No other country has Freedom of Speech laws strong enough to defend a

Well we can't not review things, because the workflow demands we review things. So we hacked the process and for big changes we begin by asking people who will be impacted (no-code review), then we do a pre-review of a rough implementa

>The server starts at session login Okay so I STILL have to log in locally before I can log in remotely. Also the list of known issues is pretty concerning. This is in not even close to a remote login solution. You are not accomplishing

by Asooka 7mo ago
It is.

by Asooka 7mo ago
It's because people got used to using screen share in X11 when they really want remote login. You cannot do remote login if there has to be someone sitting at the PC to approve it. Since Wayland has no remote login model, people are le

Honestly, probably the best Linux GUI stack would look like a root Wayland server (not running as root ofc), inside which are nested a per-user Wayland servers (which can be switched between rendering to a monitor or offscreen for a remote

It is 18 years old (started in 2008 IIRC) and just now approaching something usable. So on the one hand it is a really old project whose original design considerations became obsolete a decade ago - I remember people were very bothered by t

Vim only works for writing if you are writing in a language that uses the latin alphabet. It's one of its bigger failings as a text editor and I have considered if it would be possible to remap everything so it uses only ctrl- and alt-

No hotel accepts cash nowadays, there is absolutely no need to exchange currency basically ever. I would remove that part of the game.

I've been thinking we could simply extend the ipv4 address to be 11 bytes by (ab)using the options field. That is, add an option that holds more bytes for the source and destination address, which are to be appended to the address alre

Back when strncpy was written there was no undefined behaviour (as the compiler interprets it today). The result would depend on the implementation and might differ between invocations, but it was never the "this will not happen"

For those you add recovery e-mails. You can easily have a Google, Microsoft and Yahoo e-mail so having access to at least one means you can recover the rest. Yes, this increases your attack surface, but the chances remain miniscule.

Similarly I wish open-source devs who wish to extend and improve existing tech take a page out of Microsoft and do their Embrace, Extend, Extinguish tactic. Like: "Here is my new D-Bus implementation, it has a couple of extra bells and

One more thing: D-Bus has the concept of generic services which can be automatically started, e.g. org.freedesktop.FileManager1. When you send a command to that service, the file manager will be started if it is not already running. However

Fortunately today with AI everyone CAN actually audit all the code for all the software running on their machine themselves by sending it to a black box cloud service, thereby running only software they KNOW they can trust! /s
