I didn't read the spec, but I assume that if a single-picture format doesn't have the concept of making use of reference pictures (so previous or future frames), it's leaving _a lot_ of compression potential on the table. You

Both objects would have certain fixed hook points, such as bottom/right/center/etc and then the equation is as equality of exactly two of those points (new points could be derived from the existing ones, to express "1 mm

I think OpenSCAD desperately needs some kind of anchors. E.g. how does one place a sphere on top of a box? First you instantiate a box, then you calculate the center coordinate of the sphere and instantiates that one. If you have many objec

Going from "could" to actually doing it are two very different things, however.

Ideally, you would detect all errors before runtime. Usually the compiler is the last gate to make that happen.

Oftentimes exec newgrp docker can help. Of course fixes it only for that particular process.

by _flux 5y ago
Can it though? The beauty of (v)fork(+exec) is that it doesn't need a new interface for configuring the environment in whichever way you want before the other process starts. Instead you get to use the exact same means of modifying the

As long as the countermeasures are public, the advertisers can also automatically react to them, if they put enough effort in it e.g. in the form of preparing alternatives ahead of time.

So they need to change the first couple bytes then, automatically. Essentially I don't understand how possibly could free adblocking lists defeat advertisers or trackers if they truly cared about them: simply have a system running with

Many major operating system updates to computers of mobile phones are also "opt in" while not providing a way of downgrading—granted in the case of computers you can often "just" reinstall from scratch, possibly factory

I wasn't really consider space overhead, which as you notice is small, the encoding just something I noticed. Just json+bloatified binary+compression seemed the epitome of solving problems with a hammer when you know the hammer really

You are correct; I too hastily took the "payload" in the tar-split.json.gz to be the binary itself, but it's something else. Nevertheles, an archive format other than .tar.gz could be transferred more efficiently given a prev

The idea is to add the 'echo ..' to the .bashrc, not just run the command once.

Ah, a modern version of the fable "The Boy Why Cried Wolf". Though I suppose with a happier ending.

The use of GPLv2 code is fine for plain internal use. Only when you distribute the GPLv2-using binaries to third parties comes the license in play: you must provide also the source code to those third parties.

Personally I have only found cables with relatively weak magnetic power. Where does one find these strong ones, in particular for prices like you mention? It doesn't seem to be a well-advertised property, so it's difficult to tell

I can grant expensive (though I don't know for how cheap I could make such a sellable project with free worldwide shipping, while also making profit), but what is comically impractical about this? It's not like the default functio

You may find that actually making this code to use data from user-provided data will make the code look quite unnatural and I doubt it would be accidentally written. For example: >>> user_data='{print("helo"}}&

However returning errors from failing constructors would not be very clean. C++ also does not have decent macro system, which is leveraged in Rust error handling (the derive system).

You can provide it for the benefit of your friends (or possibly enemies or attackers) to use it to find your Matrix ID from their pre-existing contact phone number.

I'm sure you can contact the admins of matrix.org and ask for the phone number to be released. (I'm assuming you used that instance, as you mentioned nothing else.) I believe they are reachable at support@matrix.org . Rather seems

As far as I can see, jmap only provides means to upload email to your email provider, it doesn't actually tell how that email ends up from one email provider to another, which is what SMTP does. Granted it's already nicer for clie

Sure, it's possible to parametrize your algorithms. However, do you need to explicitly parametrize them or does the language do it for you? I'm not aware of any language that would remove the need to consider them and just automat

When async is visible in the type system it means you need to write things like iterating containers twice: once for dealing with non-async values, and a second time for handling async operations. Well maybe this isn't the best example

I don't believe that is true. While nobody can deny the fact that most of the time in programming indeed is not spent writing, how about this: you type slower than you can think. So, when you get an idea, it's nice to be able to t

As much as I like OCaml, I doubt we'll ever see a tracing garbage collected language in the Linux kernel. Also neither OCaml nor D make any attempts at stopping data races, which is sort of a selling point of Rust. Ada/SPARK, I su
