Who uses netcat to chat? Not only it injects newlines, it injects indentation. You can always 1) paste from logs 2) paste from the in-memory rawlog Irssi keeps or 3) use a script like xsel | tr '\t' ' ' | tr '\n&#x2

I mean what other reason would there be a reason to bring up gnuplot, if not for it's assumed connection to GNU? I guess "GNU, but gnuplot is not GNU" could be one, but perhaps at that hectic moment RMS didn't consider t

However, would those 10s or 100s of MBs be something web sites would just like to share in their entirety to the client to query as they wish? At least many commercial services would prefer to keep most of the data secret and even gain insi

You are correct. However, one could use this approach: download as usual, and in a streaming fashion process the data and if it's a progressive JPEG, you can close the connection before you have received everything; and then you can ca

So, basically, Google Docs is a keylogger? Would that go along with the common consensus, or perhaps water down the term to near meaningless? Maybe Firefox is keylogging my input as well; and in fact, so is Linux. Keyboard itself, definitel

Would you agree that keylogger is a term for malicious software with the purpose of stealing private data such as credentials? Is this is the case, then the latter is not keylogging. The former is some sort of logging, but I wouldn't c

There could actually be technical reasons behind it, for example Jitsi had this bug open for quite a while: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/issues/4758 referring a few Firefox bugs - apparently mostly fix

It sounds most likely the issue wasn't with the client, but with the server. The most popular server matrix.org is dealing with a lot of clients, but its performance has been improved, well, "recently", by improvements to the

I think Starlink would give a realistic option to deploy those 4G base stations in rural areas—they need connectivity as well.

I guess the question is how precise monitoring and reactionary system Amazon wants build for this, for an arguably marginal use case anyway; they do already provide Amazon Budgets for automatic actions when exceeding budgets, but it's

Should they simply automatically eat the costs then it would undoubtedly result in abuse. Just look at GitHub Actions. Oh I didn't think I was starting 1000 instances of miners in the EC2 GPU cloud, it certainly exceeded my configured

Firefox has sync as well, though, and it can even send tabs to other sessions. I don't think it has history sharing, that sounds useful. Firefox syncing can also be self-hosted if you're into that..

Everyone has the power to be stupid at times. Maybe other people have the power to be brilliant times. But the ratio of these times vary per person.

The video wouldn't be valuable, because it's trivial to duplicate. However, should it be impossible to copy videos and the only way to do a video would be to capture the events as they happen, then perhaps your video would have va

Does this actually work, though? I would expect it to fail similarly as this fails (note, may hang your browser or a tab, depending on your browser): var foo = [0]; function setFoo() { console.log("Callback"); foo[0

Some vendors, e.g. Samsung, have done some hacks around there, providing more precise audio controls if you drag the audio slider by hand. I don't know if there are any programmatic system-wide ways to do the same (every app can implem

Certainly nobody would then agree this is measuring the latency of the audio _system_, it would only measure the latency of the audio device, right? I think we can give the benefit of the doubt and assume they are not trying to actively dec

If just matching is desired then you can just buffer video frames; all audio frameworks provide means to synchronize video and audio. Of course, it probably makes the experience just worse if the delay is silly long..

Also the revolution of two-letter command names :/. I mean, at least before one has proven a tool's ubiquitous use, use a longer name. jq just got lucky but I don't think it was because of its name ;).

I can imagine that. However, if you ever need to move out from SQLite to anything that is behind the network, the performance will tank—and if you've really taken advantage of this fast round-trip, refactoring them into fewer larger qu

Well it would still be better, because it's at least documented what kind of activity will lead into that.

Which OS? I think on Android such questions are only about energy preservation, e.g. low-resolution data can be provided via WiFi information, while more precise can require GPS. And if there happens to be more precise information available
