Changing UI framework all the times is fine, so is not changing anything for decades. Different strategies that both have value. Reasonably you want to be somewhere in the middle, depending on the use case. In an industrial setting, product

I am not convinced that it is really 123.45 BPM, more like 123.48 Reasons are: - Someone here commented that Reaper gives 123.47 BPM - I implemented my own BPM finder back in the days, which is quite accurate with electronic music that does

You are not bypassing the router, the devices need to get their packets from somewhere, and it is only like a forever-open port if the router/firewall decides it is. My ISP router supports IPv6 but blocks all incoming connections by de

The point is not really to support a galactic empire, the idea is that you have a network part and an interface part, each is 64 bits. The "network" part is used by routers, the interface part is to identify the device on the endp

This is kind of a niche problem. It only affects people with AMD GPUs running games at over 4k60 with HDMI. Get an NVidia or stay at 60 FPS or stay at 1080p or use DisplayPort and you will be fine. It is not really a roadblock, more l

Are people still using Facebook in 2026? I sometimes go back to my Facebook account, it is a complete wasteland, my feed is just generic doomscroll material, nothing new from actual people I know. Communities I follow mostly moved to Discor

I thought about this, chatbots existed well before LLMs (Eliza: 1966!) and the only time I have seen a commercially successful game with a (very simple) chatbot was Quake III Arena! Quake 3 is probably the last game where you would expect a

For the same reasons why Google did it in the first place. To not undermine trust into their product and because ads are lower quality than organic results, and by making them indistinguishable, it will make their product worse. The chatbot

They are probably going to make them obvious at first, like with Google search. But they can also make it more pernicious. For example by having companies pay them so that they can train their AI on their products, with regular updates. Not

Generally, QtWidgets is better suited for making traditional desktop UIs with dialog boxes, common controls, etc... It is not really in the spirit of QtWidgets to do things like custom behavior, animation, etc... You do whatever the host OS

You can, but maybe you shouldn't. If, for some reason the CSS doesn't load, your site may break completely instead of degrading gracefully. Maybe it will mess with people who have an unusual browser configuration too. It may look

I think it is the result of specs like RAM and CPU no longer being the selling point it once was, except for gaming PCs. Instead people want thin laptops, good battery life, nice screens, premium materials, etc... We have got to the point w

If training AI is a copyright exemption, and it is likely to be the case, then the license is irrelevant. If it is not then the trained AI is a derivative work, which the license should allow as long as it is publishable under the same lice

Only if the code you copy pasted the LGPL part into is licenced under a compatible license, and Apache is not. The simplest way to comply while keeping your incompatible license is to isolate the LGPL part into a dynamic library, there are

The US is a large, well connected country with a lot of hackers, for all definitions of "hacker", it is even the country that created the term. And it is not that inaccessible to non-US citizens. Sure, the current administration i

For many hackers, it is just a game, a technical puzzle. The interesting part is overcoming the obstacles, the information or bounty money they get in the end is just the reward, its nature doesn't matter much. Even when there is no re

The FSF goes against the interests of companies like Amazon. For instance, they recommend AGPL for web services, big tech hates it, they will rather rewrite the thing from scratch under a permissive or proprietary license then use anything

It reminds me of the 2008 Underhanded C code contest. The subject was exactly this. https://www.underhanded-c.org/_page_id_17.html And the winner's solution is incredibly simple and clever.

For me, one of the most cursed unit, but not because it is ill-conceived is the Nm (the unit of torque). It is analogous to the Joule, but it doesn't mean the same thing. "This car has a 250 million ft.lb battery and 0.1 Wh of tor

1 Wh = 3600 Ws = 3600 J It is not more cursed than km/h (1 m/s = 3600 m/h = 3.6 km/h) Both those units are more convenient than their SI equivalent and their "cursedness" come from the hour/minute/sec

Most of the Amazon orders look mundane, mostly books, what is weird is the quantity. It looks like it is all impulse purchases, and I guess that most of these will end up in the trash once it arrives, if it isn't picked up by someone e
