If you use fish, that should never happen. (If it happens, we would consider it a bug.)

That’s almost certainly nothing related to location detection so much as it is the VPN block of IPs being marked as less trustworthy. Then there’s a cooldown on a flagged account that stops you even after disconnecting.

Structural integrity. The pins might move around or push back without it, over time?

Not one word about upstream/mainline support, which is realistically the biggest issue for most people.

I only finished the As before coming back to comment: it’s an interesting list, but some words are certainly more deserving of seeing greater uptake than others. I question the presence of quite a number of entries, some for being quite ped

That’s missing the phase change energy, which is in the zone we’re looking at here.

I’m stuck trying to figure out if this is technically desired behavior or not. If you were retroactively designing http/2 with this knowledge, would you have done anything different?

C# devs are a bit less allocation-blind than in some other ecosystems due to the from-the-beginning distinction between value and object types, the availability of manual stack allocation, and a general awareness of the pathological behav

The DSA you speak of is not the DSA (Digital Services Act) the article refers to. (I didn’t downvote, fwiw.)

I can share some, for Twitter/X at any rate. Employees of Rebel Media (far-right Canadian media org with an agenda) have been caught organizing the posting of old footage of IDF incursions in the West Bank and Gaza dubbed over (poorly)

What about the font I designed on my air-gapped computer in a secure nuclear bunker that no one but me has seen? Obviously the author is wrong and this must not go uncorrected! Or maybe you’re just being a little overly pedantic?

Your approach would result in impossibly large binary font sizes unless a really good (smart) engine was present and utilized to separate the hinting logic from the underlying symbols. Then again, with most fonts these days putting in zero

The separate ML.NET project has never seen much traction or adoption. Perhaps this will succeed by making it possible to port existing ML frameworks or models instead.

The new collection syntax is succinct and aesthetically pleasing but a step back in terms of functionality and information conveyance. The new syntax should have been introduced but reserved only for allocation-free (heap, that is) expressi

Unless even their paid api usage is subsidized (and it very well could be for all I know) they can’t be losing that much. But it doesn’t matter, I’m they never would have gotten the valuations they did if it weren’t for the insane hype ar

The same principle is used in embedded systems as the base of a prng when obtaining randomness from a possibly biased or imperfect source of noise (eg adc low bits or uninit memory values). I find it easier to understand if you say “instead

I’m too busy being angry at Microsoft for abandoning SWF, WPF, and UWP without providing an amazing replacement to worry about how they treated webforms.

I cut my teeth on DWORD, PHALF_PTR, and friends, so my issue is not so much “don’t know how to grok this” as it is “we finally have sane, universal type names and you’re throwing them away.” Sure, the _t suffix may be an eyesore but I’ll ta

I might just be a grumpy old dev but a lot of this stuff gets an immediate no from me because it’s so unidiomatic. You have to unlearn the accepted way of doing things and you end up with a codebase that is just so foreign to anyone looking

Probably because of a lack of proper realtime audio due to how the audio input layer was ported, but that's hypothetically fixable by changing the architecture.

Link seems to be more about the future of LWN security roundup emails than about actual RHEL security announcement emails (the article is really just the headline). Still an interesting discussion to observe and deduce from.

The sheer amount of greenfield code being written today so dwarfs all the legacy code out there (especially that under consideration for upgrade) that Microsoft has just focused full steam ahead on the former. It’s hard to disagree with the

No, it's a regular package and brought in a whole slew of dependencies. It doesn't appear in `snap list`. But great guess!
