E-mail is hard. This is gluing seven AWS services together. I wouldn’t certainly run any serious e-mail servers with a stack like this, good luck debugging why only half the emails come through…

The “debunking” link claims it’s InnerMedia DynaZip. Dave wrote the integration between Explorer and DynaZip in his spare time.

The inaccuracies in this tweet are one thing, his YouTube videos are full of self-praise.

The OP did get the original authors wrong, but it's still a third-party implementation, and Dave's only contribution is the integration with Windows Explorer.

There were issues with Pinball on "Windows XP 64-bit Edition", or the Itanium version. A great video explaining this is https://youtube.com/watch?v=3EPTfOTC4Jw

The entire point of WSL is seamless integration. Windows drives are automatically mounted as /mnt/c, the Windows PATH is added to the Linux one, and it can run Windows .exe files and communicate with their standard I/O.

Some of those icons are from 2000/Me, such as the round recycle bin with blue arrows, or the computer and network icons with cyan screens.

You don’t need to pay to contribute to a project on SourceHut. But you must like the antiquated e-mail-based workflow.

Redis is the original project and it continues, even if the licence change is a bad move. Redict is a brand new fork, currently at the “rename everything” stage. It may or may not succeed at being the “new Redis”. The people behind “old Red

Uh, this article is so strangely written. The real thing that happened is https://codeberg.org/redict/redict — a fork of Redis by Drew DeVault under LGPL v3. I don’t think I’m happy with the licence choice here (it sho

If I need to compress stuff, it’s either to move a folder around (to places which may not have a niche compression tool, so ZIP wins), or to archive something long-term, where it can take a while to compress. I don’t see the advantages of t

Automatically applying dark mode to documents tends to have poor results, especially when images are involved, but some people are masochists and/or can't be bothered to turn on the light, so they made a separate setting for them.

Exactly: instead of a boss, you get venture capitalists, plus you probably don’t have that pesky work-life balance either.

Can we please shut down all research into those random bullshit generators? They aren't smart, they're glorified autocomplete, and a waste of humanity's resources.

I have a degree in CS, from a Polish university, and virtually all the course material was in Polish. That's a legal requirement, since I signed up for a degree taught in Polish, and I can't be expected to speak English, even thou

Prime Video is both a subscription service and a one-off rental* service. Prime subscribers get free access to some movies offered for rental. * Either short-term rental, or long-term rental described as a purchase.

I understand that AWS has 200 services, some of which are 20 years old, and making them all IPv6-ready would be hard and costly. Backblaze has one cloud service, and the public interface is a boring REST API over boring HTTPS.

How could they launch a cloud service like this and not have IPv6 in 2015? What other basic things did they cheap out on?

This site seems devoid of actually useful content, and there doesn't seem to be a single screenshot. A better resource might be BetaWiki: https://betawiki.net/wiki/Windows_1.0

If I was asked something like this, I'd refuse and withdraw my application. That explains why Ubuntu is so full of bad ideas (such as snap) and reinventing the wheel (Unity, Mir).

From the post title, I expected some material improvement to how meetings are conducted. Automatically transcribing and summarising the meeting does not seem like any serious improvement or anything novel. Also, it seems to be focused on wh

Eh, you can still use the SDK emulator, which is an x86_64 VM, and it has OK performance on reasonable hardware.
